Full details
The Alta Tactical Altaflex Knee Pads are designed for tactical operators, airsoft enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers who require robust joint protection without sacrificing mobility. These pads provide excellent surface coverage and a stable, non-slip fit that stays in place even during high-intensity movement; however, users with very thin legs may need to adjust the straps significantly to achieve a perfect seal.

FAQs
Can these be worn over or under trousers?
These are designed primarily to be worn over tactical trousers, though they can be worn over base layers.
Are these knee pads machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them to prevent damage to the strap buckles and elastic material.
Will these fit over bulky heavy-duty work pants?
Yes, the adjustable strap system is designed to accommodate the extra thickness of heavy-duty or reinforced tactical gear.
Do these provide enough protection for concrete surfaces?
Yes, the durable cap and impact-absorbing internal padding are sufficient for hard surfaces like concrete.
Are the caps replaceable?
The caps are integrated into the design for durability; they are not intended to be removed or replaced.
Troubleshooting
Pads sliding down during movement
Tighten the upper strap above the calf muscle to create a secure anchor point.
Straps digging into the skin
Loosen the straps slightly and ensure they are positioned over tactical pants rather than directly on bare skin.
Stiffness when kneeling
Ensure the center of the flexible cap is aligned perfectly with the center of your knee; adjust the positioning vertically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your knee pads, loosen the straps and position the cap directly over the patella. Tighten the straps from the bottom up to ensure the pad sits high enough to cover the joint during flexion. These pads are compatible with most standard tactical trousers, including those with dedicated internal knee pad pockets, though they are primarily designed for external wear. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grit. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash in warm water with mild detergent and hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the straps.
