The big decision....knee pads...

[CoFFeY[NiTrO]]

I'm having trouble deciding what knee pads to buy. I'm look at the Dye Protos or Dye Core. Anyone have any feedback on either of these or any suggestions on another brand.

Knee Pads

Get the Dye Core. They are a bit pricey but the offer good protection and some really good knee support. I think I have tried about every pair of knee pads out there, and not just ones made from paintball manufacturers, but for other sports, i.e. wrestling knee pads, skating, volley ball, contruction, you name it...and I found the Dye to be the best all around.

I would Highly recomend the Dye Cores....just make shure there 1 or 2 sizes down of what fits....

Tight is good...Tight is reliable...

Definetly make sure they fit... My Dyes fit fine when not running, then when i run they fall down.

I bought m/l, which is the smallest size they had. lets hope they fit

Uh oh, Ive never actually bought knee pads before, lol, sizing.... sounds complicated for me...

Lol, was that quote a reference to this quote?

If you're like 5'7" 125 then they might be a little big.

Save yourself the $, go to big five and get slider volley ball kneepads. They are machine whashable, thickly padded and have abit of support too. I thought aboyt the Dyes too but $12 buck for supperior knee pads...

Yes the quote is in refrance too Snatch

m/l sounds right for a guy your size..

L/XL i would not recomend

[CodeMA]

well, if they fall... just get some hocky pad tape like logamus does... thats some good stuff... wrap it tight around em and they wont move, its the stuff that hockey players use on there pads to keep em in place...

I use my old knee-pads from wrestling... Asic's or something like that. They are just stretch stuff, with a big gel pad at the knee. Its really nice since I can bounce from one knee to the other very fast to allow me to switch sides of the bunker pretty fast, plus they protect my knew a hell of a lot, and give some support to it.

Cheap to!

Look in to Empire's Knee and Shin pad. They are great.
