I'm looking for a good lightweight kneepad that will stay on and not slip when running or moving quick (parkour). Will these work for that?

Yes - I wear these under snow boarding pants. The only time I have had it slip down was when I did not clamp it down very well. They may not be as stable as a knee pad that slips over you leg (ie, big elastic tube with a knee pad), but you can tighten these down pretty well. The only downside to the straps, is that they can rub if set too tight - the straps are approx 1/2 inch nylon and do not have any padding.

They would not slip off. You have to slide your arm into it, and then velcro two straps. I use for skateboarding but also wore under a jacked for cold weather skating and they work great in my experience.

I 've not tried it when running. But I tried it while walking. It comes with different sizes of rubbers pieces so you should be able to find one that fit tightly. My answer is 90% sure it will not fall when running, if you find right size of rubber pieces.

I do not run as I have bad knees, but these have kept me warm in cold, windy conditions. You need to evaluate your personal winter warmth requirements. Running itself will generate body heat, and you probably don't want to get too warm. They are lightweight, but just a little bulky. They work well for my needs.

I only used this device for TV. However, based on its size, shape and weight I doubt that it would stay in place while walking and I'd be surprised if it did while running.

Mine are a little shorter than I usually like. They stop right at the knees and I would like them to go just a little past. But since they are really meant to be tactical it makes sense that they would allow for better running and such. I think the length is proportional to the waist number.

I find them to be very comfortable without slipping when I walk/run. No blisters. My guess they would be fine for your movements but keep in mind I just use them for a walk or a run.

I wear them playing softball. They keep my knees from getting skinned up when I dive catching ground balls. Been wearing these type of knee pads for many years and they have saved my knees.

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

I use mine for cross-fit style work outs at the fire station to support my knees that suffered moto-cross abuse in the past. I think they would work, but, they advise to not leave them on for long/extended periods. Lots of stair climbs, squats, lunges, sprints, and mobility. Does that help any?

Speaking for myself, I've had two garden kneelers and to date have had no problems with the pad. I've asked my wife and her response is the same, no problems. Thanks, I will keep an eye on them and if I do have problems in the future will let you know.

I used these for heavy lifting sessions and they stay in place for me just fine. They stay in while deadlifting, squats, box jumps etc... I'm not a runner but I think they will be fine.

Yes, they would work well for long boarding for direct impacts. As the pads have 3 sections, they do a good job of wrapping above and below your patella, and thus, provide good protection. If you have long sliding fall, they might shift though, as they are held on by 2 straps (i.e., as opposed to pads that have a 'sleeve' that wraps your leg and must be slipped on over the leg). While the sleeve type of pad may provide additional protection, they would be hotter to wear and are harder to put on, and thus, people would be less likely to put them on.

Almost never. I've used lots of knee braces that are constantly slipping and been disappointed. This stays in place, even for long runs. The "lift" straps help keep everything tight and secure. Easily the best knee brace that I've used over the years.

You do use the knee pads. I use it for both in front and behind lat pulldowns and it works well.

The two ColPacs I have do not have anything to hold them into place. They are both flat However, I haven't had a problem with that. They are substantial enough that that they don't move around much, and I wrap a towel around them and they don't get slippery. I have not checked other ColPac products to see if they have ones that are made for the knee or elbow which would be places you might need a fastener of some kind. I would check all of their sizes and shapes to be certain you're getting the one that will best fit your needs.

They won't slide down at all. If you are up and down a lot, your pant legs may bunch up a little underneath the pads. I will order another pair soon as these are great knee pads.
