Znowleopard Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I got a pair of bauer reactor knee pads for free, and ive been using since free knee pads are better than knee pads i pay for. Unfortunate they arnt very protective, so i found the thigh guards that came on my pads, and sewed them on, so i keep the same slim feel, but with added protection. Took me maybe 10 mins, and just used a sewing awl to attach them. I wear half socks(just socks i cut in half so they only cover my kneepads and leave my calf open for air) over me knee pads so they dont get caught up and i tape them to so they dont slide around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did something similar with the inside padding from a Passau knee guard and the outside of a Reebok knee guard. Attaching a thigh guard is a great idea... best of both in a single unit.

Ah nice, yeah i tried using the thigh guards like you are supposed to but it made my pads under rotate and the thigh guard kept getting caught on my pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ordered my last set I had them included but knew I wouldn't use them. Threw them in the parts bin to be cannibalized at a later date.

I should share all the spare parts and pieces I have. 3 chest protectors, 2 knee pads, and some other miscellaneous junk. Takes up quite a bit of space in my garage but it's nice to know I can always cut something for parts later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
