Knee Pads - types/alternatives

[djben9]

Hi guys,

i guess a few of you wear knee pads for a lot of the sites.

I found my old volleyball pads, and they will do for my next game, unless any one can recommend any?

but, my Helikon trousers (and i know others brands do to) have the insert for knee pads

I looked at the Helikon ones on-line, they need to be cut as i have SFU trousers but only seem to be 6mm neoprene.

Are there any special requirements or recommendations to this or can i just go but a load of neoprene from amazon and cut to suit?

anyone made DIY pads??

Why not use the material from an old camping roll mat ??

Cut out what size you need, contact adhesive to glue them together then shape them with sandpaper

Things always seems to breakdown when you least expect or the day after the warranty ends

There's always a way round something simple that doesn't involve tonnes of dosh

Alternative is to not kneel down but instead to use a folding shooting chair like this

Save the bending down, and adds a certain panache to your loadout
