ALTA Tactical AltaFLEX AltaLOK Knee Pads - US Woodland

ALTA Industries AltaFLEX™ AltaLOK™ Knee Pads - US Woodland

Alta's AltaFLEX knee pads provide the best protection against impacts, broken glass, stones and other potential sources of injury or harm. They also significantly increase comfort in a variety of different activities / positions. Originally, knee pads were exclusively used by special forces, but today they are used more widely. Civilians have also adopted the pads and they are commonly used in various functional shooting activities.

The semi-hard cup part is made of a special rubber compound, which provides very reliable grip on various surfaces, unlike hard plastic protectors. Thanks to the good material, it is resistant to bending and always returns to the same shape in which it was molded. The entire structure of the protector is closed, so no harmful substances that reduce its service life can enter the structure.

The attachment is done with Alta's own quick-release clip (AltaLok), which speeds up the putting on and taking off of the protectors. The attachment does not open accidentally and stays closed very securely. The clips have a light toothing that prevents the straps from changing their adjustments. The attachment straps are 40 mm wide.

The upper strap is made of a slightly elastic material, while the strap that goes to the calf is completely non-stretchable. The idea behind the non-stretchability is that when the calf starts to thicken immediately after the knee bend, the protector cannot slip down because the strap does not give way.

The comfort of the protectors is completely different from traditional knee pads: the 50 mm wide straps that turn back through the buckle and are attached with velcro rub and feel uncomfortable in the knee fold because there are two layers of strap and which is further stiffened by layers of male and female velcro. Alta's straps only pass through the knee fold once.
