Recommendation For Knee & Elbow Pads

[MacMan]

Looking to buy a really good set of knee and elbow pads. What seems to have a good fit, feel comfortable and still offer some protection. Can I find a brand that has all 3?

I like the KP knee pads, you can get them up armored if you like. I'm not to crazy for the KP elbow pads, still use the Hatch pads.

I wore issued Bijan and bought Alta pads for many months. Wasn't happy with either of them.

I do however really like the soft neoprene pads from Hatch - comfort wise. Haven't found anything though that actually stays on the knee for any significant length of time.

I really like the clip on ones from

as well as alta and hatch... on trick i have done is to glue some rubber to the hard plastic to keep down noise and sliding around on floors in buildings while kneeling etc...

For knees I use the Altas or what ever they're called. Clip on, low bulk, non skid, etc.

For Elbows, I just use the soft athletic store pads like you see USMC03 wearing in some of his pics here on this site. Cheap, easy, and functional.

I have used a bunch. My favorite is the Hatch XTAK

Stay in place and bend right.
