Knee Pads

   Another question that comes to mind as I consider returning to dinghy's, and more specifically a Blaze is the question of knee pads.
We all know you should try and keep on your feet but those that have sailed a Blaze will know that in a Blaze, that's not always that easy so what are the best knee pads on the market at the moment?

Cheers

Ian

	I use these - http://www.crewsaver.com/Leisure/p/4791/deep-knee-pad Seem to have a good compromise of protection, staying in place during capsizes & not cutting off blood supply to lower legs! And at under £20 not hugely expensive. Mike B.
