Knee Pads

[Bob]

Can people post up with different knee pads they have and have used? I had a pair of protos which provided very good protection but were abit resticting and tight.

are combined knee shin pads comfortable like the angel air or emprie ventz. I'm looking for something that will protect my knee for the sever bashing then seem to take in training but wont affet my sprinting and movement to much.

Anyone any advice?

Cheers

Dont get the Angel pads unless you have got realy skinny legs as they are very tight!! the Empire's are good and so are the new Dye pads.

So are the Trace shin and knee pads that I have a load of going spare for 39.99

buy the tracers. they are the hotttness. old skool cool and the best pads ever made, mine are still going after 4 years and they help bounces along no end....

i know a few people who use the angel knnee pads, who are much bigger built than me, and use the small ones. they aint tight at all, they are rather comfortable too

agreed, ive had mine since planet was on deansgate in manchester....at least 6 or 7 years ago.
by far the most comfortable pads ive tried, they dont slip or spin even on my twig legs. and the occasional (more like every ball that hits em) bounce dont hurt

No, not into Paintball, I was looking for somewhere in Manchester that has Paintball games for a friend, and I came accross your name on this here forum. Hope you're well. You still in North Manchester? We'll have to meet up sometime.

yeah still in manchester.....ashton these days

paintball in manchester, theres a few places.

indoor in dukinfield near ashton-u-lyne 0161 214 9918

congleton for outdoor 'ballin - check the recball forum on here for anouncments of walk on days, usually a mix of retal players and guys with their own toys.

and if you want something a little more 'serious' then the northern quarter near the airport is without a doubt the best in the country to pick up tournie skills and for training.

this time of year id be tempted to go indoor! too cold for me out there!
definatly have to meet up sometime! have a good new year!
