Knee pads

[Jordan Budd]

Hey all. Anyone have recommendations for high country knee pads? Looking for some to pair with my FL pants. Thanks!

Arcteryx makes one of the best strap ons. I wear mine over base layer and under pant. There are also some knock offs available at less than 50% cost. The arcteryx are around $50.

Second vote for the arcteryx, only ones I’ve ever had that stay put on your knee.

Are the Arc'teryx hard plastic?

They have a funny shape. I use rubber pads that cover my entire knee. Hard but flexible rubber. My primary concern is cactus.

Yes hard plastic.

Arcteryx also. Simple, lightweight and functional.

Yes hard plastic.

Do they crunch when you crawl?

I use Barwalt Ultralights. Ugly blue, but comfortable and cactus resistant.

I have a pair of Rothco that I wear fly fishing in low water, and always in the canyons. They have held up very well with some seam grip put on the threads when they were new. If one were against hard plastic, they would be hard to beat.

Those look interesting.

I watched a YouTube video on the Arc'teryx. They are not the hard plastic I envisioned.

The Barwalt ones work well, but are really heavy and bulky. I set tile for 15 years so I am a huge fan of kneepads.

When I switched from the Midway Guide Pants, which have rather decent knee pads, to the Corrugate Guide Pants, which do not, I missed those pads immensely. I like First Lite stuff, but I wish more of their pants had pads.

If you get the arceryx knee cap protectors and wear them over a base and under the pant you may like that system as much as pant knee pad pockets.

Got mine at Home Depot for about $15. The are black with velcro straps and white plastic caps. Colored the white plastic caps with a jumbo black magic marker then set knee pads outside for a couple of days to loose the majic marker scent. They work well.

Same. They really look like a great option.

Looks like $70. Haven't searched much.

I picked up a pair for 55$ off eBay.
