Knee pads for shorties
January 03, 2014, 03:12:54 am
I'm looking for a knee pad for my gf. She's quite short and has more leg muscles than usual for a climber.

The 5.10 one doesn't fit at all. It is to long and straight. Ideas?

Send climbing do a 'Mini', though at 20" its not exactly small.

Fultonius, that has definitely crossed my mind. I made one myself out of a neoprene tigh support and some resoling rubber.  But it is not much cheaper than buying a ready made one. The advantage is greater range of sizes on neoprene tigh supports I guess.

Cowboyhat, thanks for the link.  I have not seen that one
