5.11 Tactical Pant Knee Pads

Good tactical item to have, good fit.

Got these thinking they would be compact enough to go in a grab bag and to use if necessary, instead of having the big bulky knee pads with straps that fit over the knee. My fault for not checking the pants knee compartment area before I ordered. Get your inseam right. Had to hem the pants because they where a too long(I'm 5'10", supplier had 36x32, had to cut off 4 inches) . The TOP of the knee compartment is now at the bottom of my knee cap; the pads cover my shins. They just aren't going work. even at 36x30, the knee compartment will barely start to cover the bottom 2 inches of the knee cap. Just my 2 cents. On a side note - the 5.11 taclite pants are great. There is even a you tube video on a torture test they were put through - sold me on the pants.

These work well for light range use or everyday duty use if you're occasionally kneeling. Thin pads cushion the blow of hitting pavement. These pads will fit well in LAPG brand pants.

I went to a range and the knee pads we comfortable on a kneeling position. Thanks

They do what they are supposed to do. A light pad with "some" protection. For $12 not too bad at all.

These work great. During training I was on my knees on crushed rocks and gravel, these kept my knees happy (for what it's wort I weigh 215lbs). If you are going to be on your knees all day, or falling/jumping on to your knees you may want more protection, but for their intended purpose they are great. They do not encumber movement, you don't really know that they are there until you need them.

Knee pad is made of good quality materials but if you are standing and sitting alot, it won't stay centered at the knee - it shifts to one side or the other within the pocket. The pocket is snug which is good but makes moving the knee pad from the outside very difficult to do.
