Shaun Haynes Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 After playing in jeans with knee pads under Meath with for while I'm looking into getting into new bdu trousers been looking at Emerson g3s I assume there just clones of the crye g3 Reviews seem decent . The Emerson bits I've got I'm really happy with. Any one had a pair just wondering what the sizing is like? I normally run with a black top ( chest rig and battle belt and gloves etc) or a red and black checked shirt. Can't choose between aor2 or usa or black multicam woodland thoug . I quite like the look with UK dpm but want a camo that don't see that often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted April 9, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 9, 2018 Sizing is accurate. I went for a 30-32 and used the elastic to tighten it for a perfect fit. Kneepads are adjustable too. I was pleased with my pair, and I got them used for £30 with minimal wear. Black multicam looks pretty good I think. Not so keen on AOR2. M81 would work best for the UK I reckon.

M81 would work best for the UK I reckon. I'm normally a 34 in trousers but I have fairly big quads. And I know you can tighten up on the back up a bit. Think your right the aor2 will be bit too bright. Multicam black might be a winner thought as I run it with my black ubacs in my dark cqb site then a check shirt on woodland. I could juat get plain black and not have to worry about it black.but I'm loving the look of black multicam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted April 9, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 9, 2018 Emerson gear is... OK. Expect it to fade and understand that you get what you pay for and you'll be fine. Alternatively look at helikon or if you want to spend a bit more try ops/ur-tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Helion or OPS would be my budget choices tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're used to CryeFire and Orc Industries prices then Helikon and OPS will be the cheaper end. If you're looking at Emerson chances are that spending over a ton on a pair of trousers to play toy soldiers is bit of a stretch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I play cqb for 3 hours once a month and maybe an outdoor game every other month. So don't really want to drop a tonne on trousers. As much as I love the multicam black I've just brought some normal knee insert black trousers as I don't think I'll like the look of the multicam black trouserd with the rest of the loadout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue I had with their G3 style trousers is that after a while the velcro can come adrift on the knee pads and they have a habit of popping out when you least expect it!

emilianoksa Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Are there any knee pads with straps on the market that don't slip down during play? I've often wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted April 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 12, 2018 I've been wearing impacto knee pads for a while now. I bought them for canoeing but they work well enough for Airsoft too. They've never slipped down whilst running about surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross the straps over, so go across diagonally down, loop through and back on itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
