KP Industries knee and elbow protection
KP Industries’s knee pads are familiar to those in the construction industry. KP now offers ‘Tactical’ versions of their knee protectors, which are essentially the same as the civilian ones, but molded in more ‘suitable’ colours (black, OD green and tan), and available from i-SHOT Shooting Sports.
I’ve used Hatch, Point Blank and Alta knee or elbow pads in the past (the Hatch elastic straps degraded after a short time), and they all had one thing in common: they weren’t very good at staying put. Most of the knee (or elbow pads) out there are essentially one-piece types, with two elastic straps holding the pads in place. However, I’ve never been completely satisfied with them, as the knee pads slip down, off the knee, or the elbow pads don’t stay centered on my elbow.
