knee pads

[Dilz]

Any one use knee pads to help protect against knocks when climbing? 

 

Was thinking of trying some military flexible type ones - i can imagine it will limit some movement but my knees have rather high mileage and take a bit longer to get over being bashed.

Under what circumstances are your knees being bashed?

[skyhuck]

No.

 It's rare i slip, but mainly get knocks when going for it, jumping and swinging around having a good old time of it, most the time it isn't a problem but sometimes I misjudge or slip,  Only got one set of knees and they haven't exactly had it easy.

I can only speak of my experience and my knees of course.

 

I get sore knees after a long day on the spikes with a bigger saw on the belt. Not much I can do about that of course.

 

Stop arseing about in the tree and get on with the job I suppose.

Not being evicted for falling behind on your mortgage due to avoidable work related injuries gives me all the dopamine I need!?

that's a fair motivation - alas i don't have a mortgage. Debt free = carefree = cripple

Then go for it! Walking is overrated anyway!?

There are some good d3o mountain biking knee pads around. They might do the job and give you a bit of support too.
