I used to buy regular knee pads, but after a few uses found that they didn't protect my knees any more. I went to Big 5 and looked for some padded knee pads. The heavy duty volleyball pads. This is what I ended up buying: http://www.weplay.com/Asics/volleyball/knee/pads/zd09.html I've had them now for 4 years and they still work great. I will caution you though. If you have thick legs, these can be uncomfortable. If you wear pants, these can be uncomfortable. Best used with shorts and medium to thin legs. I've heard good things about the $5 knee pads at Home Depot, but I've never bought any of those. Good luck, Rodrigo Pena  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They are easy to wear underneath pants, if that is necessary, like where you want to blend in more with people around you - minus the camera anyways... However, I would recommend something more heavy duty that just foam if working on lots of outdoor assignments, especially if working on concrete or rock.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They are well protected; with foam inserts and a hard durable outer shell. The best part is that they attached to my legs with velcro strips; one on the top, the other on the bottom of the pads. This way, if you are wearing long pants, they would not bunch up behind your knees, which would create a little discomfort. Oh yes, they were very inexpensive as well. There is no need to spend a lot of money on knee pads. Ar Pee  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
