Not sure if anyone has ever posted this same subject before-I don't think so..but looking to get really kitted out as the Season is getting closer !!

 

Does anyone wear knee pads underneath their whites every year I take the skin off my knees fielding.

If so any makes could be recommended to buy at all.

Would like to retain what skin I've got for the 2017 season....nothing to do with the fact I've bought a lovely pair of cricket whites from Lords !!

Hi Carlo, I've worn knee braces for decades, as I've got pretty flaky knees, and the have the side benefit of preventing me ripping my knees to shreds when I dive topple. I've found some much better than others but my current ones are these...

Very reasonably priced, quite thick and supportive, and have lasted very well.

Exactly the type of thing I meant. These are going in the shopping basket

Many thanks

I have some they are extremely light and excellent quality you don't know your wearing them but here's the best bit 4.99 from Lidi in stock this week.

I like the mc David knee pads , gives just the right support but with padding as well.

[ppccopener]

Yes some of the pads are for mma or boxing looks like they would give excellent protection I would guess some of the forum already using this style of knee protector

Don't you have your old Kung Fu pads?

[Biggie Smalls]

I bought 2 sets . One were McDavids , the other fleabay McDavid knockoffs . They are both really good , essentially the same . But the knockoffs cost me $4au ! ... nice.

You make me laugh Bruce you really do

No !! Don't tell me you have never tried to stop on in the outfield, saved a boundary and then looked down to see blood on your knees!!

(Padded knee pads might also act as a support for the crocks thou, of which I am one)

 

[Biggie Smalls]

Sorry , hehehehe. .... my 'crockness' made me totally forget about the legit reason of saving knee skin . I wear them becauwe my knees can't take the hits ( until i get my knee ops anyway ) and using the pads is the only way i can dive and then get back up !

Sorting my cricket bags out yesterday and found the G N elbow protectors brought last year if one of the manufactures were to do  the same  product for knees they would be ideal
The knee protectors could also be stitched into the inside of cricket trousers

Captains likely to be expecting plenty of questions about who's opening the batting and bowling this season if the full team turn up with knee pads on in the first changing room of the season
