KP Industries Tactical Ultra Flex III Knee Pads

So although I didn't "need" any new pads I thought I'd check out these fancy pants KP industries knee pads. The 2 piece hinged system looked like a good way to get full knee motion range without resistance. Not too long ago I took them to put them through a quick beating on my SFAUC visit. Beforehand, First impressions out of the box were a little so-so since the way they are stored, one pad pushed in on another in a mesh bag, causes 1 pad to be bent in a bit and one pad to be bent out.

KP Industries Tactical Elbow Pads

The KP elbow pads didn't impress me as much as the knee pads, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad pads. The main reason external elbow pads are rarely used in the military is that the upper strap almost always falls in the elbow joint and causes abrasion and or resistance everytime the arm is bent in. Since the KP elbow pads are not on the hinge system they suffer from this upper strap problem. Furthermore, since I'm <monkey> sized, I have to tighten the straps near as far as they can go. This causes the triglide to be all up in my inner arm joint adding to the strap problem.

DIM: 11" x 7" x 4" main, 6" x 4" x 2" front, 8" x 4" back
Fanny Packs, Waist Bags, Hip Packs...they come in many names and hit with fury in the 90s, but this one has a lot of nice MIL touches. In planning that the user wouldn't be a typical dad on a lazy vacation, the pouch is built to push the items away from your groin area to allow for greater mobility and prevent man part pounding.

EMDOM CQB M4 Double Mag Pouch MC:

Details

Category: Pouches

Created: Monday, 04 September 2006 07:03

DIM: ADJ" x 3" x 2"
There are a lot of double mag pouches out there, but this one has some solid bonus features. For starters there are PALS loops on the front so one can mount pistol mag pouches, but these loops also assist in setting up a shock cord mag holding system. The main flap can be totally removed or have its placement adjusted to hold pretty much every kind of mag out there no matter what added accessory. Interior elastic allows one to fold the flap for a secure open pouch setup. I've embarrassingly shown it here holding a Nintendo-DS, but check out Emdom or Military Moron's site for many great bullet tote'n pics. Comes with long Malice Clips.

DIM: 12" x 7" x 6"
If you are looking for a pouch to hold more than the typical ones out there, this is the business right here. A great size to enhance backpack capability or make a mean butt pack. SRBs with velcro adjustment make flattening and expanding the pack easy and there is bonus loop velcro on the front for name tapes.

EMDOM B.O.M.B Blow Out medical Bag MC:

Category: Pouches

Created: Monday, 04 September 2006 07:01

DIM: 7" x 5" x 3"
Originally intended for medical supplies, but can also work well as a general purpose pouch with built in elastic and pockets. The pouch can be zippered down for a full 180 degree opening, but a 550 cord and cordlock system is standard to adjust and limit the opening. Has bonus PALS and loop velcro on the front, a very full featured pouch especially for the price, $32.95. Comes with long Malice Clips.

EMDOM 4x4 SUV GP Pouch MC:

DIM: 9"H x 6"W x 3"D
Seems like every company has their GP pouch and here is Emdom's. The size is nice and the 1ply cordura main construction makes the pouch easy to use, but it is also plenty durable so far. The bonus elastic and cord loop inside set this pouch apart from most other GP pouches. Comes with long Malice Clips.

HATCH Knee Pads WC:

Simple and Affordable classic knee pads. Overall offer good protection and cushioning with nice flexibility. Since I'm <monkey> sized I can't tighten these as much as I would like and rely on the specwargear pants with knee pad retention system. Otherwise these guys go straight to my ankles after a sprint. Earlier I tried attaching surgical tubing from my belt to the pad strap which apparently caused a lot of stress on the pads breaking one buckle and starting to rip one of the sew points as shown in the pics.

Simple and Affordable classic elbow pads. My <monkey> size also fights me on this product with the straps not having enough velcro to cinch as far as I would like. Thus after vigorous activity they tend to shift. When I get them in the right place, they can work quite well, but when shifty they can make bending one's arm abrasive. Which is hard to avoid when using guns all day long.

SPECWARGEAR : Pants
-I need to take pics and do a propper review, but wanted to make sure and note that I have 2 specwargear pants which I've been wearing constantly for about a year and I find them to be the best full featured pants I've ever used, and so far seen.
