Pad suggestions

Recommended Posts

I'll be wearing a DonJoy ACL brace common among hockey and football players when I resume playing. My current pads won't fit around the brace. The cap area is too small. Any suggestions...I'm sure there are guys here wearing the same brace.

I wear knee braces on both knees.

YOu might want to try the RBk6K shin pads... I heard they are really solid, yet flared enough to accomodate the knee brace. I myself use Mission NME-Nine1 shin pads... very solid, fits around my knee brace with no problems.

I found that the JOFA/RBK pads are wide enough to fit the brace. Also made them a little wider by using a heat gun, softened the cap and placed it around my leg w/ the brace on for a better fit. Have not had a problem with durability.

Thanks for the tips. Got the word on what model brace I will be getting. Doesn't look like the knee cap area is going as much of an issue as I had thought. The area just below the knee will. I'll make sure I have it with me when I look for pads.
