I mainly ordered the knee pads for my Woodsman pants. Overall, I am very satisfied—especially in wet and cold weather, they very effectively prevent the pants from getting soaked through to the skin while kneeling and also block cold wind well. However, as soon as it gets warmer, you start to sweat quickly in the area of the knee pads.

I use these pads in Helikon UTP pants made of PolyCotton Rip-Stop material and I am satisfied, I can recommend them. Pants with pads are very practical because they allow you to kneel without worrying about your knees.
-
The inserts are made of good material, are perfect for training and the shooting range, and provide a rather large protection area, if you can say so. They are flexible and resistant to wear and tear. Excellent.
-
These knee pads are an absolute must-have at the shooting range. I can’t imagine participating in a shootout without them. They have protected my knees many times and will certainly make sure I come back without bruises more than once in the future. I highly recommend them!
-
Helikon protective inserts are a classic among accessories. They easily fit most Helikon pants that have an inner knee pocket. They are lightweight, do not cause discomfort, are not noticeable, and provide adequate comfort during use. Highly recommended.
-
I bought the protective inserts for the Helikon Woodsman Pants - they leave a good impression and are solidly made! My absolute purchase recommendation
-
I purchased protective inserts for Helikon Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas pants designed for trekking. For now, I haven't trimmed or used them yet, but they seem well-made and will probably increase wearing comfort. We'll see over time how long they last. ;)
-
The pads are mainly used to improve comfort while kneeling, rather than for actual injury protection, although in the event of a fall it's better to have them than not ;) They don't provide ventilation, so your knees sweat on warmer days. Putting them into UTP pants pockets is a bit difficult.
-
These are my first knee pads, so I'm not an expert. You have to struggle a bit to put them on your knees correctly. Walking with them feels a bit unusual; you can feel their weight, although it's not heavy. However, when kneeling, they're very comfortable and do their job well.
-
Going from standing to kneeling, even on a hard floor, is practically comfortable. They once protected me from injury at work. They are a bit hard to insert and take a bit of time to arrange well, but totally worth it.
-
Standard protectors in the form of foam. They are suitable for basic knee protection and fit well in Helikon pants. Unfortunately, they easily absorb water and your knees sweat in hot weather.
-
The inserts fit perfectly in Helikon UTP pants, and with a bit of trimming – even better. They don't move during work, so there's no need to adjust them before kneeling. The foam is the right thickness, providing comfort but not getting in the way.
-
The pads are very useful. They come quite large, so you can easily trim them to fit your own pants. For Helikon UTPs, they fit perfectly, and their thickness is a good compromise between functionality and appearance.
-
The inserts are really great. Thanks to the right thickness, they provide comfort while kneeling, which is important with my injured knee. They also don't stand out, even in just the pants. I recommend them to everyone.
-
The 6 mm neoprene inserts are a proven choice for the range and climbing. Their main advantage is universal fit for different pants models – they're really comfortable and practical.
