Well, these do 'what it says on the tin'. So what else is there to be said...; comfortable, not too expensive, well packaged. I can say I am generally very pleased with products from this brand so it should come as no surprise that not only their clothing but also these accessories prove to be of very decent quality!

The knee pads fit perfectly into the Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop pants. There is no need to trim them, and that way they also provide better protection. I still haven’t been able to use them for an extended period, but at first impression they do not interfere with walking, although they do retain heat.

If you already own a pair of Helikon-Tex trousers compatible with them, you will likely want a pair of these insertable knee pads. I believe they are a worthwhile purchase, as they offer comfort and protection during work and other outdoor activities. While they were presumably designed for tactical, military, or law enforcement use, I use them for camping and hiking; my knees appreciate the protection against impacts while scrambling or during tasks that require kneeling for extended periods. They are lightweight, flexible and durable, while also providing effective insulation against cold and moisture. However, I do not use them during the warmer months because they reduce breathability—especially when paired with Pilgrim or Woodsman trousers, which can already feel hot in temperatures above 18ºC. The templates printed on the packaging allow you to trim the pads to size, ensuring a proper fit for various trouser models.

The knee and elbow pads serve their purpose and provide good protection. I use them together with the Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop trousers in RAL 7013, where they fit well and stay securely in place. The only downside is that they get quite warm during extended wear. I am therefore considering adding small ventilation holes in the areas where the knees do not rest, in order to reduce heat build-up somewhat.
-
I bought the pads together with Helikon pants and they fit them perfectly, they are so comfortable that you don't feel them while wearing. They work great for extended kneeling. I definitely recommend them.
-
Bought together with the UTP Flex Pants, they could be used without much trouble. For other pants models, corresponding cutting patterns are provided on the packaging. The pads themselves are only moderately useful as knee protection and most resemble a thin yoga mat you kneel on. You should only kneel quickly or slide on your knees with hard knee pads.
-
I bought the protective inserts together with Helikon pants. They're soft and look high-quality. However, it seems that the price is too high for them. In summer, your knees will feel hot because they don't let air through. They are not for full knee protection; in that case, you should get good over-knee pads. Later, I got Alta ones for harsh conditions, with a great discount from Military.
-
Good inserts, they can be a replacement for external knee pads and effectively absorb shocks during less intense activities. Additionally, they provide good thermal insulation.
-
I have already had the opportunity to use these inserts before – they do their job, just as they should. This is not the first set I am buying from you. I use your pants when riding a scooter and these inserts effectively protect my knees from the cold.
-
The knee pads work well with the MCDU NyCo pants, although placing them is made difficult by the small opening at the knee in the pants... Despite this, I am generally satisfied.
-
These Low Profile inserts are perfect for those who want knee or elbow protection without the bulk of massive models. They slide easily into the designated pockets on MBDU pants and are completely unnoticeable once in place. They are really effective for protecting your joints when kneeling on hard or rocky surfaces. Comfort is definitely there, and they do not restrict knee movement at all while walking.
-
Very good quality knee pads for the price, lightweight, easy to cut to fit thanks for the included template. Comfortable to kneel down on. I would definitely recommend them.
-
Good quality knee pads, lightweight, material is not deteriorating after multiple uses. Also it dries fast after washing or after getting wet when out in the field. Good size, i can use them in multiple pants with different pocket sizes.
-
Very good knee pads, I use them together with MCDU pants and they effectively protect my knees from hard and sharp surfaces when kneeling. They are exceptionally lightweight, easy to trim and use. I definitely recommend them!
-
The protectors are lightweight, invisible, and very comfortable to wear. They fit perfectly in the pants pockets without restricting movement. They provide extra safety and comfort, and their workmanship is very solid. This is a useful gadget that is definitely worth trying.
