5.10 Knee Pad Mods
June 07, 2017, 04:25:15 pm
Hi all,
I’ve bought a 5.10 knee pad after forgetting how rough they are on the back of your knee.
Does anyone have any tips or pictures of successful attempts to modify them?
Ta!

I remember seeing a Beastmaker post where one of them had hacked the back around to improve it although I can't find it (perhaps you'll have more luck).

Wear a neoprene knee support underneath it? I do that to add thigh padding for for particularly painful or insecure kneebars. Or there is always, (i) pick up 5.10 pad (ii) put in bin (iii) spend a fortune on a sender pad!

Second the neoprene knee pad idea, and it gives you a knee pad rather than a mid thigh pad

I've had mine since 2012 and it's been fine. Then last year it started hurting the back of my leg so I just cut a bit out the elastic at the bottom.

You can get them sent from US but works out expensive with import duty etc..

What you need is a forum member that regularly takes pillgrimage to Smith Rock or similar to return with 4 (one for each knee
).
