knee pads

[shadowlink25]

Right guys and girls

Need help with choosing some knee pads after twice falling on my knees and causing injury to the left one. The lastest of which i still can't kneel down after a month of doing. People at grange farm about a month ago may remember the guy with the ump falling over the ramp into the safe house.

so i'm looking for the best value for money. A choice of colours would be nice as have just bought tan kit. Any reviews people can put forward will be much appreciated as i don't want to stuff up my knee any further.

Thanks

Re: knee pads!!

avoid viper ones... you need ones that have a curve that you knee goes into when bent...

I use some old Bauer ice hockey/roller skate style that I had knocking around the house....

I agree as to using Blackhawk ones. They are nice to use, come in a neat bag to keep them in. One of the best Kneepads I will and ever use.

Blackhawk all the way... comfortable, the velcro straps do not bite into the back of your knees..... superb.

I use vipers and while they are no means the best they still stop me hurting my knees

Re: knee pads

I'd reccomend the blackhawk pads too, I've had mine for about 7 years now and they're still going strong.

Don't bother with cheap knee pads, they're usually uncomfortable and make life difficult for you.

Re: knee pads

hatch xtac knee pads are pretty decent and stay put on your knees

Re: knee pads

Bijans kneepads all the way, you can get them relatively cheap off the Bay now! Whilst I've never owned a pair I've used a pair of those arcteryx pads, they're brilliant but a bit expensive...
