Hello everyone,
I recently came across a unique pair of tactical knee pads in my local surplus store (Austin, TX)
I had not ever seen any like them till now, the brand is 'Alta'.
They have an amazingly comfortable Knee and Elbow pad, the actual product name is the 'Alta Tactical Superflex Alta-Lok Knee Pad.
The way these work:
They have a tapered triangular ring that acts as the buckle, all you do is slide it over the small metal 'T' post and it will lock into place. For one, there is NO VELCRO, they are fully adjustable, all you need to do once you have it buckled is pull the strap to tighten. Once you have it to your liking, It is easily removed by use of the quick locking strap.
Very cool. (you can have the pads on and off in about 5 seconds, and they will stay adjusted to your preference.)
I have a pair of these for Airsoft, and for when i remodel houses.
Did i mention that they are consisted of 4 durable layers of protection?
From inner to outer:
a layer of memory foam,
impact resistant foam,
rip-stop cordura outer,
and finally a molded rubber non skid cap.
I very highly suggest these, as they are some of the most reliable on the market, next to Blackhawk of course.
The other awesome thing is that they come in all colors of camo to match your loadout:
Desert
ACU
Black
Coyote Tan
Multicam
OD - On a note the OD ones are a rarity.
and Woodland
And same goes with the matching elbow pads, in all colors and same construction.
Heres the link:
