After endless hours searching the worldwide-web for a knee guards which should fulfill the following criteria:
1. A CE Rated Armor
2. Be able wear all day long comfortably
3. Not Very Expensive
Though the market has quite a few products starting from Fox raptor (fake) for 800 Rs approx to ones ranging over Rs 5000. There was only one product that ticked all boxes, the Spartan Perseus Knee Guards with Knox armor, Inner-wear & Rs 2500 seamed fair enough deal to be until i saw the SAS TEC KNEE ARMOR in outdoortravelgear and I had an IDEA to make my own Knee guard.
Fairly Simple Idea which requires:
1. SAS TEC SC-1/02 : Rs 850 for a Pair
2. Knee Support tube : Rs 100 a pair or less
Total Expense: Rs 950
Just Place the Armor on the knee and wear the tube over it. the elastic tube keeps the armors on place and doesn't move even after I climb stairs or sprint. Unlike Knox, Sas tec armor molds itself according to the shape of your body. So, its very comfortable even after wearing it for 10 hrs straight. Its slim enough to stay discreet even below a slim fit jean.
Will experiment with the design and post a improved design later.
TIP 1: Keep your legs straight while placing the armour over the knee cap if the armour moves when you bend your knee then place the armour slightly higher and cover it completely with the tube (the grip should rest on your skin, not on the armour)
TIP 2: The tube should feel tight over the knee without the armour and should be of Large Size, a loose tube will allow armour movement
