Review for model:

Completely sufficient. It does not provide much protection because it is thin, but it is still better than nothing. It protects against small stones and pine cones. It is better to kneel on this than without any protection.

They do their job. You need to trim them according to the markings on them so that they fit the selected models; overall they are okay, and although they seem thin, they protect well. I recommend them.

At the moment, as someone who has been using them for some time: pros they protect the knee well, even though they are very thin tested in the wash - I am pleasantly surprised cons it took a bit of effort to place them in the pockets in the trousers, but I don't know whether to count that as a downside of the protectors or of the trousers I own.

I am writing this review after testing them for 3 days, so I do not know how durable they will be. The most important thing is that they do not make walking or running difficult. They provide sufficient cushioning when kneeling, even when you have to kneel for a longer time on a hard surface. They protect well against the cold. I am not sure whether, in the summer period, at temperatures above 20 degrees, they will be too warm because of this.

Well, they do exactly what the description promises, so it is hard to add much more. They are comfortable, reasonably priced, and carefully packaged. Overall, I have had very good experiences with this brand’s products, so it does not surprise me at all that not only their clothes, but also these accessories, show genuinely solid quality.

The knee pads fit the Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop trousers without any trouble. They do not require any trimming, while also offering a better level of protection. I have not tested them yet over a longer period, but at the moment they do not seem to hinder walking, although they do cause noticeable warmth.

If you already have Helikon-Tex trousers designed for these inserts, it is most likely worth considering buying these knee pads as well. In my opinion, this is money well spent, because they increase comfort and protect your knees during work and various outdoor activities. Although they were probably created with tactical, military, or police applications in mind, I use them on camping trips and while trekking. They are especially useful when moving through difficult terrain and during activities that require long periods of kneeling, effectively protecting the knees from impacts. They are light, flexible, and durable, while also providing good protection against cold and moisture. In warmer periods, I generally do not use them, because they reduce breathability, especially together with Pilgrim or Woodsman trousers, which on their own can be too warm at temperatures above 18°C. An additional advantage is the templates on the packaging, which allow you to trim the inserts to the proper size and fit them to different trouser models.

Review for model:

The knee pads and elbow protectors perform their function well and provide solid protection. I use them together with Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop trousers in RAL 7013 color — they match them well and stay securely in place. Their only downside is that during prolonged use they become quite warm. For this reason, I am considering making small ventilation holes in places where the knees do not come into contact with the material to reduce the heat buildup a bit.

The inserts were bought together with Helikon pants, they fit perfectly, you can forget you even have them in. Great for jobs that require long periods of kneeling. I recommend them.

Review for model:

I bought the protectors together with the UTP Flex Hose and they could be used without any difficulty. On the packaging, you will find suitable cutouts for other models of trousers. The protectors themselves only partially work as knee protection; they rather resemble a thin yoga mat that you can kneel on. For quick kneeling or moving on your knees, it's better to use hard protectors.

Review for model:

I bought these protective inserts together with Helikon brand pants. They are soft and seem durable, but their price seems too high. On hot days, they may cause your knees to overheat because they are not breathable. They also do not guarantee full protection—for better protection I would recommend traditional knee pads. In the end, I chose the Alta model from Militaria's offer, which works well in tough conditions and has a reasonable price.

Cool inserts, they replace external knee pads and suitably absorb the impact of low-level activity. Additionally, they insulate well against temperature.

I knew these inserts before - they are as they should be. This is already another set I bought from you. I use your trousers for riding a scooter and these inserts protect my knees well from the cold.

Review for model:

The knee pads fit well with the MCDU NyCo pants, but they are hard to insert because of the narrow opening on the pants under the knee... but overall I am satisfied.

Low Profile inserts are a great choice for those who need protection for their knees or elbows but do not want to use heavy protectors. They can easily be inserted into the dedicated pockets in MBDU pants, and once worn, you can hardly feel them. They effectively protect the joints when kneeling even on hard or rocky surfaces. They provide high wearing comfort and do not restrict leg movement while walking.
