wvuviv30 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 What knee & thigh pads are comfortable and compact? I don't need or want the NHL/Swiss ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Bauer 1X. Last I checked, they're sold out at most major retailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravitas Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I like my PAW knee pads. Slim and comfy; they never interfere with my pads. Had Sara build them with a garter belt so they never slip. No issues with protection. You can search YouTube and find a couple videos of people reviewing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably my least favorite option. Brian's makes some nice 2 piece low profile ones that I've used for years now. I like them so much I've redone the elastic and added some padding as they started to break down. They're my oldest piece of gear by far, but something similar is still available.

ArdeFIN Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Warrior definitely needs something to hold'em up. I use Warrior pants with integrated tabs and that setup is excellent. Before those I had CCM Premiers where I added tabs myself and that worked as well. The Warrior knee pads are very good and protective for slapshotting beer league. Not perfect against harder shots but still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickdraw1977 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Second the Bauer 1X, tried to go back to warrior when I got my GT2 pads, couldn't do it, liked the 1X too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Warrior knee pads are great. A little tape and they will never slip down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now mine are starting to break down because I use them exclusively, and it is hard to find replacements. Might have to go with Passau for my next pair.

MangoRhinehart Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 PAW knee pads are very slim and protective. I have a set of first generation ones from 2006 that were still going strong, I only swapped them out to get the gel version Sara offers now. They stay put with just a lace in tab, unlike some other brands I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL42 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 if the knee pads dont stay up modify it so it will, knee pads are not automatically supposed to stay up for everyone or any piece of equipment, u have to modify it. no that difficult to make ur own garter and modify so it stays up.

loki1416 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm still using my Vaughn V7's. They look bulky and just from holding them you'd think they are going to be bulky. But once they are on, they fit tightly (or loosely if that's your thing). You can get them with or without the garter belt. If you get it without, the tabs are there to add something later. I've never used them, but the SLR versions seem smaller. So that's always an option if that's what your going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore them once several years ago with my Eflex 1. I found them very bulky/front loaded to the point where it seemed like they were pushing the knees/thighs on my leg pads too far forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckstopper Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'll give it a try next time I've got some practice ice. I've got 2 brand new sets of warriors, so I'd like to find a way to make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot his name but saw some warrior knee pads modified slightly to worn with a garter belt. Cut a slit in the tabs on the knee pads and then use the clips that come on warrior pads, the type that hold the buckle where the knee wing is. I haven’t tried this myself but was thinking of doing it since my warrior guards are just laying around. OP look into paw, Sara makes great gear very protective and mobile. I’ve had mine since 2007/8 and they are still going strong with the exception of the elastic being stretched out. Now I just use socks and tape to hold them up.

Stays in place and never slips. No wasting tape. Uses a regular adult Bauer garter and some lace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadzilla32 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I know these are harder to find in senior size but the CCM belts can be made to work the same you just need to put the clips separately. I have seen warrior knee pads with a slit cut in the middle of the tabs and then these style clips slid in the tabs and used that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
