Knee Pads

[Deerinthawoods]

What are you using? Are the Arcteryx knee caps really worth the money or is there a more cost effective product out there?

Straddling the tree is free, and so is side-saddling. It’s how I saved money without switching to Geico.

I'm using squishy foam knee pads. Ican pick them up local for cheap and they work good. Replaced the velcro with buckles

I sewed some fleece cammo to around the outside. Pretty good option for less than $20 bucks if you ask me.

Walmart cheap knee pads for this guy. Quiet and have held up to over 30 hunts last year

Knock offs on eBay are just as good. I feel like a broken record.

These are the Pads that I use and they are great and cheaper.

The Arcteryx are worth it, depending on how you use them. If you are planning to use a knaider, they are cut out in the perfect spot to allow the knaider to go around them and probably the best option out there. They are super light and do not interfere with my leg movement. I had a $15 pair last fall from Lowe's that worked fine, just not with a knaider.

I like the arcteryx. Moose Jaw will have a deal on them every now and then. I also have some contractors knee pads from Lowes that may be more comfortable but are twice as big.

Not something you normally hear guys say, just saying.

Curious if anyone has ever cut these down like the Arc'teryx and glued formed kydex over it to make a DIY version of the knee caps.

Ithink it works just fine as is....i use my knees as the pivot point when moving around the tree and these have lots of grip. I tried hard cap knee pads and didn't like them

True. I have not found a single thing I dont like about these so it is one of the few times where a knock off is decent.

These look just like the knee caps. I think I’ll give them a try.

Just buy a pair of these and protect your knees and tighten up so you can fit a size smaller saddle! Friends don't let friends hang out of their saddle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VD4HWCB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jdRBDb7GM0DGY

One pair is $70 arcteryx and the other is $20 emerson. You can get either one in either color because they are Exactly the same! Your call
