So I bought some Kryptek Alaios pants awhile back on camofire(or hunt of the day, can't remember) and I love the fact that they accept knee pads. Placing them in the pants is much more comfortable than having the pads strapped around the leg. Do you guys know of any other pants that accept knee pads?

Crye Pants take kneepads. But get ready for a $300-$400 price tag.
There are Airsoft knock offs of the Crye pants that are on amazon.
We are not going to war in the deer woods so I bet the knock-offs will hold up fine for a few seasons.

My recommendation is to get friendly with someone in the military and maybe you can get hooked up with some issued Crye pants.

Not that issued gear would get misplaced... that would never happen...
 
theres a ton of em on amazon for "airsoft" and paintball.

TusX Camo pants take knee pads and they have a pretty sick pattern
 
Sitka Mountain Pants come w knee pads. I’ve been wearing them this year, and they have worked well. I use a ROS, and did not wear knee pads last year with regular old hunting pants (sore knees!). These have definitely been a nice upgrade. The material on the knee has held up very well too.
 
I have a pair of sitka timberline pants. I know ole @Nutterbuster will rag on me for buying expensive pants. But I've crawled through hell in those things, and they're bulletproof. The heavy duty fabric on knees and butt is the business. And the knee pads are great. As ar the suspenders.

They're expensive, and they're kind of heavy. But that's the price you pay for solid threads.

Having said that, if you can sew remotely capably, you can add them to any pants. I'm considering adding butt and knee reinforcements to other less expensive pants...

I will rag on anybody named Kyler who buys Sitka, yes. Friggin fratboy Ken doll over here with his sneech shoulders...
 
Kings' Preecher pants . Come with foam knee pads and you can find in the $60 dollar range.
Stretchy softshell type material.
Adequate for saddle hunting. Inseam length / leg opening is weird.
 
Pnuma outdoors. Waypoint is the model I believe. I have a pair and really like them. They are super nice.
 
I got those alaios pants and didn’t like them. They were too swooshy when you walk. I got kryptek tactical akd they are good, take knee pads, but I should’ve kept the ones from alaios the tactical doesn’t come with them. A lot of Velcro on the kryptek. What kind of huntpants comes with all Velcro?
 
Fjallraven Vidda Pro pants accept knee pads. I use 5.11 knee pads in them. They are a bit loud, esp when waxed, but I love them for late season hunts, especially when I want to really bust through briars and brush. I mostly use my arcteryx pads though.
