Knee pads, what to get?

[Misty's Big Adventure]

Have come to the conclusion that I need to get some knees pads after doing superman dive after superman dive at the Vudoo University Paintball League round 1 last weekend. Already got Eclipse Distortion Elbow Pads (btw they super comfy) but can't see any knee pads from planet. Anybody know of any planet knee pads or any that might be released by them??

Failing that been looking at the DYE Core Knee pads and NXe Techna-flex knee shields. Both look gd and have gd reviews. Anyone played with these?? My main concern are knee pads that will stop me from running full pelt into the snake.

dye pads are great but sized "WAY" too small, running not an issue

Thats one thing i read a lot was the size issue. Hmm any advice on what size to get?

Thats the thing no-one i know have the dye ones lol or do you mean any pads. Did have some proto ones which were too big think they were l/xl.

iv been told skate knee pads are the best, gell skate ones, the dye c5s didnt come in a big enough size for me

try the new Angel Pads, i have both arm and leg angel pads, and they're excellent. the only other ones iv tried are JT, which are also good, but the Angel ones are nice and thick and dampen any slide or dive.
they come in black or white... the whites dont come up to well after a wash, they still seem stained, but, ah, who cares!

ive got Proto knee pads in large. i had to wear angel small/medium when i used those. Proto/Dye are exactly the same just different colours and logo. very comfy and super light.

Ive just bought some new knee pads and ive been trying different ones. Firstly I went for the NXE knee pads as they looked well padded and comfortable. I got XL and im not at all big, and they still didnt fit. So I spoke to LiPs and they sold me some Empire ones, with shins pads.

Empire ones are great. Keep me warm, and the knee pads work well.
