Alta Knee Pads: Save Your Knees!

Knee pads can save your knees and prevent some pain! They also offer insulation, knee cap protection, "resting" capabilities, and comfort in rocky terrain. Having used them for many years, Alta Tactical "Superflex" tactical knee pads are my favorites. They are affordable, relatively lightweight (14 oz pair), durable, they absorb shock well (very important), and come in excellent colorations. By the best feature however is that they actually stay IN POSITION! The non-velcro strap system on the Alta Superflex pads interface with a brass locking stud in conjunction with nylon buckles. The top strap is high quality elastic, providing flex for the calf muscle; the bottom strap in nylon. Unlike may other knee pads, it is a proven attachment method that just works and lasts. They will ride UP on your pant legs but just because they really lock into place on the fabric. Their hard rubber cap provides armor-like protection to the knee; vastly superior in my experience to neoprene alternatives. Don't expect breathability. It's just a price for this kind of protection. The closed cell foam provides genuine shock protection to your tactical "throw downs" and generally I find the Alta pads can take it. I get about 5 years hard use out of each pair. But at just $20 or so they are easily replace. A wide variety of colors allow them to fit into just about any POU; basic black works in a lot of different environments and in non-tactical applications as well. Generally my favorite colors are Mulitcam and the Coyote Brown. In a decade of use, I have not found a better designed tactical knee pad. /////////// Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 10 out of 10 /////////////// Music: Jason Shaw @ audionautix.com

@SleepyFox79 Nutn says he's not sure. He wore them over Mueller neoprene knee braces on a very recent trip with no problems..but not sure if its exactly the type of brace you are talking about. -- Veri

How would one go about wearing these with shorts without getting the discomfort you've stated? I'd love to know some suggestions.
