Knee Pads
- Thread starter moose57
- Start date
The ones I found that work the best for me as they dont slide around and stay put. These are made for I believe is got at Duluth Trading and made for the pants they make also for those that work on their knees . The pants have a compartment in the knees where the pads slide in so the stay put. If I remember correct there is other pockets for some of the tools also. I have a pair of them myself and if I am going to be digging on my knees alot I will put the pads in.
I tried a lot of different knee pads over the years and hated they dont stay in place or hard to kneel down and bit into my legs.
I havent used them for a couple of years now as I had to have both knees total replaced at once and hard to kneel down and get up, but plan on using them again soon.

I prefer the ones with the hard shell.
Those softy ones still hurt on rocks.

To add to RickND’s post, U.S. military pants also have a pocket on the knees that allow padding to be inserted in them.. they have a velcro closure.
I too have searched for a nice pair of knee pads, but the ones I have tried also seem to not stay in place.
I do prefer the ones that have regular
straps rather that elastic straps, which seem to work loose at the buckle and need to be retightened.
I bought a pair at Lowe’s that have Velcro fasteners and have hard plastic cups with padding… those work pretty good, but have to be readjusted from time to time.

I use kneelon knee pads. They've lasted a very long time for me, with lots of use. I've used them for long detecting sessions(8hr) and not had issues, only adjusting when I take a break. I do wear jeans though, I'm not sure how they would compare with shorts. Before I bought the Kneelons I tried a cheaper version and the padding flattened almost right away. YMMV

Something like these. You could probably find 1 at wmart for $5-$7

You won't need pads because once you drop down you're not going to move around plus you won't look like a .... wearing knee pads.

Im currently using the Duluth Trading exterior pads. One trick to help stop the sliding up and down (to a pretty good degree) is criss cross the straps across the back. I cant do the “rice paddy squats” anymore so a set of their pants with the slip in pads is looks pretty good right now.
