Best Knee Pads

I found that if you are a sitter or plan on spending any significant time with your knee into the tree. A hard shell is a must. I found every set of soft ones I tried, trophyline, latitude etc… after a short time I felt every bump and dip in the tree bark and it was not comfortable. Trade off being the hardshell is not as stable against the tree if you are trying to steady yourself for a shot. More likely to slide off to one side or the other.

This does makes sense. Foam will certainly collapse to its surface. I lean a lot more than sit anymore so I don’t spend too much time on mine.

Somebody on here turned me on to these AltaContour 360s with vibram. Said they are the same as the Latitudes. They do look the same. I couldn’t tell you as I don’t have experience with the Latitudes but I did get these a month or so ago and love them. I definitely like them better then the Trophylines I have although I haven’t had long sits with them yet. I liked the Trophyline ones but as mentioned above, with the not as wide soft cap it would get uncomfortable after awhile and the hard plastic cap is noisy and not grippy. I got these on Evike with a coupon, think I paid $40ish in multicam

You have appealed to my inner cheap-a$$.

These kneepads are identical looking to the Latitude Method kneepads, and $30 less. Thank you.
 
Figure out if you're a leaner or a sitter first... if you're a leaner, knee pads don't matter... if your a sitter.... sorry..u can't help you... I'm a leaner
 
Was looking to upgrade knee pads for this season and found this thread. Use some cheap ones from Harbor Freight last year that worked great. Think they were $12. Not the best for long walks in but quiet and functional in the tree. I’d recommend for anyone looking for something cheap, quiet and effective.

Caveat to kneepads is the diameter of the tree trunk. Whatever kneepads you get,make sure they don’t shift L/R.
