My buddy gave me a pair of military knee pads. There camo and work awsome!
I've read about these, but never went any further in buying a pair.
If the source of the pain is in the knees like osteoarthritis or bone spurs then the pads won't do much as in my case. Protecting from rocks, glass, and other such things you'll want the pads for and will help in lowering impacts to the knees. I do miss detecting, but I need new knees and the doctor says I'm too high risk to operate. The new knees would put me into a lower risk category, but they think of their lawsuits and not my health.
I have beat the living daylights out of mine and still going strong. They are a bit beat up but for what I have put them through I would expect them to be worse.
Yeah, it doesn't take lo g before I get a sore knee, so i've double up my pair together and the landing has been that much better.
Yeah I'm sure that ruined your dig that day. I'm too old to stay uninjured. Whether knees or hands etc, there's always something I have to deal with while digging. I'm keeping Tylenol in business that's for sure.I never wore kneepads until I knelt down hard on the point of an acorn. I thought I broke my kneecap it hurt so bad!
I've been wearing knee protection ever since.
