Knee pad recommendation

MG23 · Jul 19, 2015

After my Hockey injury and surgery in November I still can not kneel or put any pressure on my left knee. This is due to them cutting my whole knee open to put the titanium rod in and through my tibia. If I do a reverse kneeling for a stage, I feel it. I know a knee pad will not stop all the pain but it will minimize it.

Take a look at these

They do a great job of staying out and don't trap sweat. They aren't super durable but are the most comfortable things I've found.

I have some from Academy..Tony Hawk brand and some from Voodoo Tactical. Both are comfortable and work well

I bought some gel filled carpenter's (not Jared Carpenter) knee pads from Lowes. They have a hard outer surface that makes it easy to move around on. Very comfortable & cost less than $30

Following this post. I have yet to find knee pads that work well, are easy to put on and take off, and stay in place.

I had a rebuild of my left patellar tendon and I lost 30% of it due to scar tissue. I feel your pain. I have found that the simple "Jumpers strap" helps. Also, I have some of those Surplus .gov tan ones that work in a pinch. Used them laying a floor in the chicken coop a couple weeks back.

I am thankful my fire bunker gear has pads in the knees, but they could use more. Before the surgery, I couldn't put any pressure on the knee.

I had some of the 5.11 pants that had the knee pads build in. Those are nice.

Adam I have those 511 pants at work I'll have to dig them out of my locker and give them a try. I totally forgot about having them. we switched to truspec pants a couple years ago and they are just sitting in my locker now.
