SFU Next are a lot better with the leg pockets strap things! 5 minutes ago, clumpyedge said: Makes sense, as with a lot of posts that did go off in a weird tangent! EDC pockets are also what I think he means as looking at the picture they dont quite look how the 5.11 etc have their pocket layout of dedicated 5.56 pocket. While not strictly jeans the UFPRO which I have used almost exclusively over the past couple of years have an awesome mag pocket each side that couples with their larger pocket, it has an insert that retains the mag in situ even when running. No I mean they have an AR pocket in the ass just like the 5.11. @Rogerborg Ah the workwear ones I was looking at came in short arse 30inch inseam for me, one of the reasons I like the idea of them proper fit and hard wearing. I could be persuaded in a nice pair of "tactical" jeans since I could wear them outside of airsoft too but I kinda want something I can not worry about wearing out or getting dirty.

Nice, I would have looked into it more but I'm in love with the Adaptive-x ones. Shame about the $200+ price tag. Personally I dont like how the helikon are stitched outside.

Too scared to look at adaptive-x ones and 5.11 don't seem to have jeans with reinforced knees portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah don't, they are absolutely incredible but way too much for casual use (maybe if I get a nice bonus at work next year 🤔 or if i can get them delivered when I'm in Florida) where as like I say my UFPRO's get used weekly and didn't have to pay to import! No they don't which in all honesty surprised me when they first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I often run my dickies work jeans. Any thing without intergrated pad pockets or pad pockets that don't hit the mark. I just have some tubigrip bandage with a hole cut in it to fit crye style knee pads in which fit under what ever I'm waiting to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted May 3, 2019 Supporters Share Posted May 3, 2019 Note that the Amazon-Bays will provide biker jeans with knee armour (....and hip armour and kevlar lining).

I want a bit more support for my dodgy knee but if I just wanted protection that is perfect. I assume you double it up so the pad sits between a layer instead of touching directly on your skin?

Yes I usually wear combats with either external or internalised padding. However as it was a game playing civ pop with a dress code that involved no tac gear walking about with knee pads on was off the cards. Strap on knee pads look wank and are shit to wear which wouldn’t have been in the required dress code. There are denim options with neoprene padding these days internally stitched but for a one off game or one here and there it would be a pointless purchase. Normally I’m not one to moan about comfort but those pesky little spheres certainly crack a kneecap if like I say you put full weight on them. The Altaflex knee pads are supposed to be OK.
