Dart Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 One day, I decided I wanted to upgrade my knee pads. I've had a chunk of foam in each one since I first assembled my kit but they were never really that comfy. Here's how I changed that: What they looked like before... Step 1: Rip that foam out! Also had to repair the cracks in my kneepads (used some epoxy putty for ABS and painted it) Step 2: Picked up a pair of these knee pad inserts (super cheap, look up Duluth Trading.) Step 3: Hack 'n slash 'em to fit the knee armour. Step 4: Using some double-sided foam tape (the 3M indoor/outdoor stuff), I stuck them in the armour. Not pictured is the velcro I stuck in on the middle pad and one strip each on the outer pads. That's it! I bought 2 sets of these pads, shipped for under $20 USD. They fit and feel so much nicer now and they even look kinda cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Looks nice, Andry. Might do something like that when I upgrade to MC armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks guys. excellent idea! and the pad doesn't see when you use it I spouses Nope, you can't see it. One of the things I really like about the padding I used is that it kinda looks like what would be there if these were real knee pads.
