TACARM Alta Knee Pad Ballistic Modification
To match the ballistic elbow guards , and if the user does not have knee pad pockets on his pants, TACARM offers a converted Alta knee pad with ballistic insert.
The foam insert has been replaced with a Kevlar insert (5″ x 9″, 24 layers, Level II, 5 1/8 ounces) with a Gortex outer shell. A Velcro closure has been sewn into the top of the knee pad so that the insert can be removed and also used in the knee pockets of the ACU and TRU. The Alta knee pads before modification weigh 6.5 ounces each, and 10.5 oz each after conversion.
