thought I’d have a go at making it proper Gucci.
I believe judge banks made a kneebar for their trip to rocklands - think it was something like a neoprene support with a shit load of that shoo goo stuff spread on it. I'm sure he'll elaborate when they're back (next week?).
The Five Ten Neon Kneebar is guaranteed to downgrade climbs. We’ve backed a super sticky layer of Stealth Mystique Rubber with a working micro-porous synthetic liner. The snug fitting Neon is ergonomically engineered to allow full knee articulation while protecting and clinging to any angle rock.
Know anywhere stocking them?
Yeah, I got given that one and it seems decent, though the Americans all rate the ones from Rock and Resole in Colorado as the best. Unfortunately that doesn't help us brits much. I emailed 5.10 about rubber sheets to make my own, and they said talk to the resole people, however no-one seems to have the appropriate stuff in stock at the moment...
but couldn't fit it on my thigh and was several inches off doing the straps up.

Most pads tend to slip down onto the knee joint
One day someone will have a brainwave and invent some sort of braces/suspenders to hold the pad up, and the image of the mincing sport climber will be complete.
