ALTA 50413 AltaFLEX Knee Protector Pad, Black Cordura Nylon Fabric, AltaLOK Fastening, Flexible Cap, Long, Black

I purchased the Alta Superflex Knee Pads with the non-velcro "Altalok" buckle (featured in the photo). The packaging states clearly "not intended for athletic applications", but I could see it being used in outdoor sporting activities (the reason for my initial purchase). After adjusting and wearing them, they are quite comfortable. The disclaimer is probably because the cushioning is not as thick as other cushioning found in volleyball or similar knee pads available, but make no mistake: there is comfortable fabric and great padding in these. The cap is not a super-rigid, plastic material like many skateboarding caps are. They are a sturdy but flexible, hard rubber material with a soft texture to them that provides grip when kneeling down. The lower strap is made of a tough and durable adjustable Du Pont Cordura (R) strap. The upper strap is made of a flexible elastic strap that gives enough tension to keep the fit around the lower quads/above the knee nice and tight without hindering range of motion when bending at the knee. The "Altalok" buckle system is simple to use; they slide in and out easily and are designed in such a way to eliminate any accidental loosening of the strap. They pivot on hinge that the buckle hooks around as well, enabling a more comfortable fit. Overall, I recommend this product to anyone who wants a comfortable, versatile kneepad. Construction workers, paintballers, and airsofters would appreciate the build quality and the comfort of the Alta Superflex Knee Pads.

Great fit, comfortable durable they don't move, little to no pain at all from straps even when fastened tight. Great price for this item I'll probably get another pair for backups. I work freight at work with cement floors these are perfect.

I wear these when I ride my 150cc scooter. These are my second pair, as the first ones took a lot of wear over ten years, and saved my knees when I got hit nearly head on by a pickup truck and the bike was totaled. My knees slammed into the fairing on impact, my right knee bent the ignition key, and ripped two house keys off the keyring, but I was able to walk out of the emergency room that evening. Knees were sore next morning, but I didn't need surgery on them! These are really good.

I bought these to save the life of the knees on my Fire Resistant coveralls and they are doing the job. As they say, NOT recommended for "athletic applications" is definitely applicable here. While not ideal for long term kneeling(carpet or tile laying), when you need to kneel down to tend to something at work, they are ideal. They do tend to "walk" down your leg as you move about(hence the 4 star), I have tightened the strap to remedy this but the top strap is elastic and the pad still slides, small annoyance, but tolerable vs. the benefit. I do slide on them as I kneel and they seem to be holding up just fine, clean up is a snap too, a soap and a brush and let them air dry and you're good to go. If you do the occasional kneeling at work and want to save your knees, buy these and kneel like a kid again!

I am an avid pistol paintballer who prefers to move quickly. I decided to order these due to the fact that my knees were taking quite a beating from all the sliding and slamming on the rocks. When they arrived, I was a bit worried due to the fact that they clearly said that they were not intended for sports use. Let me be the one to tell you, they are absolutely fantastic for this sport. They are comfortable, the Alta-locks are great for quick attachment and detachment, easy to clean, durable, and really an all-around great product. The shielding itself is made of very durable rubber, but unlike plastic knee-pads, these are flexible allowing for freedom of movement whilst maintaining the ruggedness needed for proper protection. These have my absolute recommendation.

I use these all the time when I go airsoft and I kneel a lot when taking cover or reloading and they are honestly perfect for outdoors & indoor fields. They are very comfortable and easy to adjust but sometimes they might slip down a little but not much a of a problem. Also, they are very nice and tactile asf!

I've been using these while doing demo and installing a new hardwood floor in my house. What really drew me to this one was the fact that it had a pliable rubber knee. Flooring kneepads I'd seen either had a fabric knee, exposed foam, or a hard plastic knee. I wanted something that would act as an extra shoe so I wouldn't slide around and provide me protection from exposed nail heads I missed or from nails lying around. For that purpose, it does a fantastic job. My knees aren't ripped up and feel loads better than during those first couple days when I didn't have em. If you do want to use these for flooring, I do recommend you pick up the non-marring version. Instead of black rubber, it's a white rubber. Wish I knew about that one when i purchased these. It is a bit difficult to wear these over baggy clothing. But hey, it's not like I wear knee pads often, so what do I know. Through trial and error, it seems if I fold the extra pant leg material over the front of my knee and leave as little as possible where the straps attach, I end up with less behind the knee discomfort and the pads don't slide down. I've gotta admit though, I'm looking forward to taking these on the paintball field too!

i use these for paintball for my mil-sim games and tournaments cause i was tired of coming home with cuts, scrapes and welts on my knees. i got these pad in the hope that they would last longer then my hardshell velcro ones and so far i have had no issue with them. they use a buckle style clip that allows them to never come off when worn and are easily adjusted for us smaller leg people. the shell actually flexes with your knee but is well padded and will take the impact from rocks and gravel. over all these are great set of pad will never have to buy another pair.

These are great for what I need them for (my early 2000s Spetsnaz impression).

Passt alles super

Reste bien en place. Une fois réglées, elles sont agréables à porter et ne coupent pas la circulation sanguine.

サバゲーで2度使用。膝をつくことが結構ありましたが今のところ破損する気配はありません。しっかり止めておればズレることも無さそうです。最初装着した時は違和感を感じますがゲームが始まったらじき慣れます。

As advertised, fits well with easily adjustable straps that hold the pad in place with easy to manipulate buckle system that does not fail.
