Great All-Purpose Kneepads
I purchased the Alta Superflex Knee Pads with the non-velcro "Altalok" buckle (featured in the photo).The packaging states clearly "not intended for athletic applications", but I could see it being used in outdoor sporting activities (the reason for my initial purchase). After adjusting and wearing them, they are quite comfortable. The disclaimer is probably because the cushioning is not as thick as other cushioning found in volleyball or similar knee pads available, but make no mistake: there is comfortable fabric and great padding in these.The cap is not a super-rigid, plastic material like many skateboarding caps are. They are a sturdy but flexible, hard rubber material with a soft texture to them that provides grip when kneeling down.The lower strap is made of a tough and durable adjustable Du Pont Cordura (R) strap. The upper strap is made of a flexible elastic strap that gives enough tension to keep the fit around the lower quads/above the knee nice and tight without hindering range of motion when bending at the knee.The "Altalok" buckle system is simple to use; they slide in and out easily and are designed in such a way to eliminate any accidental loosening of the strap. They pivot on hinge that the buckle hooks around as well, enabling a more comfortable fit.Overall, I recommend this product to anyone who wants a comfortable, versatile kneepad. Construction workers, paintballers, and airsofters would appreciate the build quality and the comfort of the Alta Superflex Knee Pads.

Lightweight and tough
I’ve been wearing similar knee pads for decades, whether low crawling in the desert or plumbing in the crawlspace. This design is the perfect balance between having enough cushion and flexibility without being so bulky that you can move well.Like others mentioned, it feels strange to have the buckles on both pads be on the same side. I’m used to having the buckles on the outside, and with these one is on the inside of your knee and one is on the outside. Mentally, it feels like wearing two left shoes, but in practice it’s never been an issue (except I always look for the inside buckle in the wrong place). Overall, great kneepads and I’d buy them again.

You get what you pay for
Overall for the price these are decent, and you get what you pay for. I believe they're priced fairly for the quality of product you will be receiving. I haven't been able to wear in the field and rough them up a bit and will update my review accordingly.The actual front "camo" material of the item is unfortunately not ripstop material and doesn't seem to be very durable, similar to a nylon cotton mix but I'm not for sure. If walking through thick brush and thorns I would imagine they would be ripped up fairly quickly, and will update with my experiences. The camouflaged portion seems to be relatively faded as if it's been washed 100 times. I'm sure rolling around in some dirt would help with concealment but they do work with OCP/multicam pant legs.All the sewing seems to be single stitching, and the actual knee protector seems to be secured into fabric cushion via some pushed through button? Not sure exactly how to describe it but it seems relatively secure but I'm sure I could yank it off.The knee protector is relatively mailable but definitely protects as designed. The dark tan protector will become very scratched up with use as I am able to scratch it with my fingernail.The back straps are decent and don't appear to change length with ease during use. The top portion that goes over the thigh is stretchy and greenish while the lower leg strap is completely firm and tan. There is Velcro at the end of the strap to "secure" the extra portion of the strap to itself but I'll probably just cut mine to fit and duct tape the remain portion.If you're wearing OCP's then you still have access your thigh pouch, with the thigh strap covering maybe a half inch of your bottom thigh pocket. I would assume different pant sizes probably effect pocket coverage differently.The knee pads sit nicely into each other and have a pretty low, flat profile if you're storing them inside of your ruck/bag. These can be flattened with the mailable protector.Overall comfort seems to be decent and these don't seem to want to spin or drop too much. I wouldn't deploy with these but for rummaging around in the field they're a decent knee pad.

my knees' new best friend
I've been using these while doing demo and installing a new hardwood floor in my house. What really drew me to this one was the fact that it had a pliable rubber knee. Flooring kneepads I'd seen either had a fabric knee, exposed foam, or a hard plastic knee. I wanted something that would act as an extra shoe so I wouldn't slide around and provide me protection from exposed nail heads I missed or from nails lying around. For that purpose, it does a fantastic job. My knees aren't ripped up and feel loads better than during those first couple days when I didn't have em. If you do want to use these for flooring, I do recommend you pick up the non-marring version. Instead of black rubber, it's a white rubber. Wish I knew about that one when i purchased these.It is a bit difficult to wear these over baggy clothing. But hey, it's not like I wear knee pads often, so what do I know. Through trial and error, it seems if I fold the extra pant leg material over the front of my knee and leave as little as possible where the straps attach, I end up with less behind the knee discomfort and the pads don't slide down.I've gotta admit though, I'm looking forward to taking these on the paintball field too!

Perfect!
These are great for what I need them for (my early 2000s Spetsnaz impression).

Adecuadas
Probé antes de estas algunas otras, y me convencieron. además que no se venden en México, o al menos no las encontré de gel cómo éstas.Las uso para una taller de diseño de muebles, y la posibilidad de golpearse es muy común., además de que hay que arrodillarse para instalar, y en ambos casos cumple.De los materiales me gustaron, resistentes y una construcción robusta, invitan a darles mala vida con la confianza que durarán y son más confortables que las de foam. recomiendo el gel.Tardé un par de días en encontrar el ajuste adecuado, si las aprietas de más, lastiman la rodilla, si lo haces de menos, se deslizan y se cae, pero una vez que lo haces, son muy cómodas y no se caen.y ya de paso, no tan importante pero como un extra, lucen muy bien, se ven mejor que en la imagen.En par de meses quizás actualice mi comentario si encuentro algo inusual, pero si no lo hago, significa siguieron comportándose de maravilla como lo han hecho hasta ahora.
