TMC Tactical Elastic Band Strap Thigh Strap

Product Information

Tactical Tailor is tried and true. Just like its name suggests, it can do just about anything the military needs when it comes to turning textiles into hard-use military gear. Its dump pouch offering is no exception. While it might not have every feature, the ones it does have are stellar. Durability and easy drainage (via two drain ports at the bottom) are great to have when you’re roughing it. The shining star, however, is the elastic pull tab. You really don’t even have to open the pouch — you can just pull it open, do your thing, and let go. It’ll shut itself. You'll want to note the strap fit over time, as elastic tends to stretch. Another thing to be mindful of is stitching—while these knee pads feature reinforced stitching, we read some reports of weak stitching prone to unraveling. Cross surcingles should be fastened so you can fit a hand’s breadth between the surcingles and the horse’s body. This means that the straps are tight enough to prevent legs becoming caught should the horse lie down, but not so tight to cause discomfort.

A good dump pouch stows away neatly, attaches to your belt securely, and ideally does not flop around all over the place when deployed. These are all determined by retention. You do want to keep in mind that their pull-on design might not accommodate all knee shapes, so how snugly they fit can depend on how big your knees are. There are only two sizes available: small/medium and large. Knee pads should fit snugly around your knees, as you want to keep them from sliding around. That said, you also don’t want your knee pads to feel so tight that they restrict your movement or blood flow. This is why you may see many knee pads that come with elastic straps that provide some give with a secure fit. Depending on what your project requires, you’ll generally want them to feel comfortable for both walking and kneeling. You may want to look for lateral rivet hinges for ease of movement.

When it comes to considerations, the knee pads are a little bulky, measuring 1.5 pounds. Some users also mention that these tend to slip around the knees. You do want to be mindful of the elastic bands, which can stretch over time. And if you're working on concrete in the heat, note that the all-plastic cap won't be as comfortable as one with at least some breathable mesh fabric.

When buying any rug for your horse to wear, fit is key, and should never be underestimated. If you’ve bought the most amazing rug with a whole range of features it could potentially cause more harm than good if it is ill fitting. The good news is that it is not hard to achieve a good fit - here are our top tips: With tasks such as planting and weeding, gardening can require lots of kneeling. Typically, knee support in the garden comes in the form of a kneeler pad, but you can also use knee pads so that you don’t have to carry around a kneeler whenever you work in a new spot. For keeping garden chores comfortable, we like the WorkPro Garden Knee Pads. These inexpensive knee pads combine both lightweight and sturdiness, featuring a tear- and abrasion-resistant 300D Oxford fabric with a soft EVA foam liner.

These knee pads come with double flexible straps and easy-to-release slip clips for a secure fit. These are also easy to clean; you can wash off dirt and grime with soap and water. Because they're made from fabric and foam, these knee pads aren't built for heavy-duty work. Moreover, there have been reports that they run somewhat small.
