I use Hatch's smaller X-tac series, and have had nooo problems. I know the larger pads have trouble staying up. If you're wearing an ACU cut uniform, you can add the little foam knee inserts which would give the pads more to grab on to.

Alright I'll try that foam thing next time I play. If it doesn't work I guess I will have to get some of those X-tac kneepads.

My Altas stay up if I follow two simple rules. First, wear 'em up a little higher than you might think, so the lower strap is above the calf muscle. Two, tighten that sucker a lot. A lot a lot. The lower straps on the Alta aren't stretchy at all, so if they're cinched tight, they ain't going nowhere. Of course they're not especially comfortable like that, but neither is airsoft.  |

Kiki do you know if they make the Bijan pads in OD? All I could find where CB. I was thinking about maybe changing to CB anyway, but if you know of a place that has them in OD that would be cool. Surprisingly, even with the help of the Google machine I could find OD ones. Also do the Bijan's CB as in the picture and title, or Tan as in the description?

They're closer to CB than tan. As for OD, yeah try google. I've seen woodland camo Bijan's on Ebay.
But if you're wearing just about anything green, CB works great. I wear my CB Bijans with my woodland MARPAT and on the off-chance I wear woodland camo, I wear them too.

Oops I meant to say I couldn't find them on google. Anyway I guess I will just get the CB ones.

Hell, I had some Alta kneepads just like that (they're supposed to be like the best or something) and the same exact thing would always happen- they'd slide down. Never had a problem like that with my Bijan's. IMO, Alta = fail. |

He speaks the truth. I wore Alta's for 9 months. Those things had an incredible ability to drop around my ankles. Follow his advice, that's how I eventually got mine to stay where I wanted. Just had to hike em up a bit. |

If you have any rubber cement you can run a bead on the back side of the pad where it comes in contact with your knee then cinch up the bastards just a hair less than a tourniquet and you will be fine.
I stopped wearing kneepads as they were either slipping or just to uncomfortable.

Another alternative you may not have considered, is buy BDU pants with slots to insert built in soft kneepads. They won't shift around as much, and won't add much extra bulk like an external kneepad. Bear in mind though, that they won't have a hard surface obviously.
