Knee Pads?

[blackrose]

I gotta be honest, i'm only 30 and after two days of detecting for hours each time my knees hurt.

How many of you all wear them?

I just wear one on my right knee.

I wear them. They also keep your knees dry at times.

 

[USMC Reaper]

[seekerGH]

I go to the field with 3....

One on my left knee,
One on my right knee,
and one on my wie knee.

ALWAYS protect your knees!

I carry a Kneeling Pad and use it. Sure saves on the 66 year old knees

I don't get on my knees

I carry a thick foam rubber cushion to kneel on. I've been thinking about getting a pair of knee pads myself but the ones I've used for home projects in the past have dug into the back of my knee joints and felt uncomfortable. Maybe the answer is to have some sewn into shorts and/or jeans?

It would be so hard on my knees without them. I use kneelon knee pads and they work great. For me they don't slip down and stay secure, waterproof, comfortable, and the padding hasn't wore out after a lot of use. Before I bought those, I bought a pair that looked similar but about half the price and they were junk

Kneel down onto a sharp rock or acorn one time and you'll wear them.

Surplus places carry some that have great coverage, wide straps that don't cut into your legs, and also are not expensive.

I use a gardeners pad to protect my pants.

It's standard gear for anyone whose been out in anything other than a park or beach. Unless yer a squatter, I suppose...

I too am only 30, already had one knee pieced back together and the others not doing so well either. I'm due for a new pair and haven't been wearing any this year. I for sure feel the difference.

Wearing a knee pad on the right and sometimes both when I go to a spot that has broken glass and rusted metal pieces all over. Also wear gloves.

 

[eyemustdigtreasure]

I've been caving for 50+ years now, and my body has been revolting about the treatment I've given it,
even after wearing knee pads most of that time....!
I use tactical knee pads that have a hard-shell rubber cap, over foam, etc-
type pads, that don't slip on smooth surfaces, does pretty well on ice too...! Anyway, they save the old knee bones...!

 

[CoilyGirl]

I usually wear them over my pants in the winter but hardly ever in the summer because they pop off my knees often and I'm always having to put them on gin taking away from my treasure hunting.

I stopped using them because they always ride up or down as I walk. Kneeling on stones hurts, though, so I might get a gardener's kneeling pad.

Yes-knee pads or gardeners pad depending on where I am.
