Optimus Prime missed about this new product from Alta Industries as he swears by their knee pads and he won't get another set of knee pads made by another manufacturer with the exception of the integrated knee pads that come with his UR-Tactical battle trousers. He has been a fan of the AltaLok knee pads as they're the only brand for him that won't slip and would tenaciously hang around his knees. So far, we do agree with him and we're sure he has already ordered this new product from Alta Industries.

He does not go for the rip-offs of the Altalok knee pads, since the original ones are already affordable enough and can guarantee better production and longer life. With the latest AltaCONTOUR set of knee pads, they promise and even better protection as these extend further beyond the knee area. Articulated, these guarantee great knee motion and comfortable fitting.

The AltaCountour still maintains the AltaLok Easy On/Off Fastening System which is a simple but very effective at making the knee pads stay where they should be.

Here is the list of its features:

• Biomechanically-designed, offers great knee motion and comfortable fit
• Extra flexible with sectional foam padding
• Soft rubber cap is skid-resistant and provides protection and flexibility
• Cordura® Nylon cover
• "Compression Recovery" 1/2" Neoprene foam padding provides firm, consistent support without bottoming out
• Finished brushed tricot liner wicks away moisture and keeps out dirt and debris
• Secured with 6 brass grommets
• Non-Slip Rubber Strip on back to hold comfortably in place
• Widely-set dual strapping system to avoid bunching and provide extra comfort
• Offered with the Original AltaLok™ Easy On/Off Fastening System
• Unique Alta Strapkeeper System to secure excess straps from flapping
• Adjustable to fit most sizes

Available in different colours to suit your tactical trousers, they cost US$46.47, which for knee protection, is a good investment indeed.
