Thread: Knee Pads for Hunting?

Does anyone wear the above? Tactical style? Paintball style? Good for scrambling/crawling around in the tight stuff? For low profile approaches? Not worth the hassle? Any experiences or recommendations? Quite often I find myself thinking "If I crawled here I'd get under that branch without making any noise" but then I try to duck walk instead and get hung up.

I have some sitka pants that have pockets in the knees and come with pads but I took them out unless youre actually crawling somewhere they feel silly to walk with

Which pants are those mate? Good pants otherwise? I could always try them.

Sitka mountain (pretty sure that's the ones...) pants, as above like Ryan I took mine out then promptly fell over a riverbed and landed knees first on a nice rock.... Still dont use them....

I use the Kuiu Alpine pants. They have 'durable welded Kevlar/poly knee pads with EVA foam for added protection'

I love them, use them all year round.

Ask any of the camp bitches which they recommend

Ok, Kuiu Alpine, cheers guys. Actually @hotsoup you're my size. I think you probably need a new pair by now.

Haha, I have a fair a bit of crawling around to do before I wear them out!

One looks cool, the other not quite!

have been known to have shin pads inside gaiters before....sure helps when scrambling through crown fern and hit hidden branches at shin height. keeps gaiters up too.

I have these and the knee pads. Awesome and the knee pads work well as well. Maybe the pants might be a little loud when scrapping through scrub though?

its hunting not soccer mate I just turn into a ball and roll through it at full pace, sonic the hedgehog styles!
