You sir, are amazing. I’ve been using a pair of foam cheapies from ace hardware, maybe $20 a pair. They haven’t been bad and were a good start but the foam compresses after a while and they slide up and down. The Velcro straps are annoying but functional, though they do make some noise on one pair of my pants. So I ordered these kleins and hunted them this morning. Night and day in all aspects. This tree was more of a leaner than sitter so I’ll need more time with them but I know what the verdict will be.

I don't care for the hardshell kneepads, they work as they should, but like to slide around on bark. I'm going to have to get some gel flooring-installer kneepads so I don't skid around so much. I don't think Klein is carried locally but Menards has an equivalent product
These have a grippy rubber texture and they don't slide on the tree at all.
I have a U.S. military pair of knee pads that are a bit over kill for saddle hunting, but I use them all the time for any ground hunts. They have a hard shell cap that protects you from anything, but are horrible for gripping the tree bark.
I recently purchased a set of Trophyline knee pads and I'm very happy with how well they preform for saddle hunting!
The bottom strap is a non-stretching belt, while the top strap is elastic and works great for all day comfort.

These Klein pads are the same type of attachment.

For the inexpensive that works well crowd, I’ve got these and really like them. Quiet rubber exterior hasn’t deteriorated at all over 2 seasons, padding inside is pretty dense and is holding up well comfort wise as well. Saw they were at Harbor Freight when I was picking up a replacement headlamp and thought I’d pass it along.
Those are precisely what I bought a couple weeks ago at HF.....the $12.99 specials. They work OK.....not ready to ditch them just yet, but also considering an upgrade on my Christmas list.
Inused these for a handful of sits until one of them started to squeak. They were OK, although a bit bulky. Once they started to make noise though, it was a no go for me. Got some of the teophyline pads and have liked them so far.
That sucks yours did that. I haven’t had a peep out of mine. I did put a little grease on the places straps attached so they move freely. I’ve got Sitka gear I still put zipper wax on, some things make noises and we’ve gotta mitigate that.
