    For those of you who used knee pads, how many pads did you have to purchase?

     

    What is D-MAC padding and where does one get it?

     

    Thanks.

    D-MAC is a member on this forum, he has access to knee pads that are mostly only available in the UK and ships to anyone in need. Usually only one set is needed, and you will most likely have a small amount left over.

     

    You can follow this link to his latest thread: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=5653

     

    Good luck with your project.

  6. Interesting armor prototype

    That's pretty sweet! Anymore info on the armor?

    It's under development by a government contractor (Protective Products International) for law enforcement SWAT teams and Special Forces entry teams, it's made up of moulded plates over kevlar padding similar to Hockey pads except these are bullet proof (more or less, armor piercing rounds not withstanding). The concept illustrates articulating plate armor which extends onto the should/biceps and forearms. High speed low drag non ceramic construction… it is not in production but it is not that far out. The chest and back have icreased coverage compared to the industry standard ’shooters cut’ ceramic plate.

     

    The military/LE can't wait to get their hands on this, but I think the boots on the ground won't help but think what a bad day they'll have if the technology falls into the wrong hands. :o

  10. 2009 Random Act of Kindness

    As a random act of kindness, I'll cede my slot to someone who doesn't have one!

    Daetrin, even with your own kind act I still didn't get on the list, but I think that was very generous of you to let it pass to someone else. Thanks I appreciate it, even if I didn't gain from it.

     

    Congrats to the winners, what a great way to start the new year.

    Where did you find the knee pads? I've looked online... funny thing is that all of the ones that I would like to use (like D-MAC's) are located in the UK. I could of course order these online.

    The knee pads are very common in many parts of Europe but non-existent in the US, I have found them on the internet but none of the companies will ship out of the UK. Check with D-Mac, he has a thread called "Helmet Padding interest check", he ships to the US, it takes about two weeks to arrive(give or take for the holidays).

  16. death in the family

    Darrel, I too only recently found this thread and am saddened to hear about your loss.

     

    About 15 years ago I had 2 near death experiences only days apart, it left me very traumatized. For over several years following the incidents I would visualized how people could become injured at almost every personal encounter I had, playing different scenarios over and over in my head.

     

    I only mention this because your statements about having difficulty driving and thoughts being funneled were some of my obstacles as well and it brought back memories. Unfortunately I told no one at the time, and I think the healing process took much longer than it needed to.

     

    Your feelings do not make you a bad person, or a weak person, they define you as a caring and loving individual who misses his partner deeply.

     

    It is not my place, but you may want to consider seeking out a grief counselor or or talking with a minister, they may be able to help guide you through your grief. Through your journey you may find that feeling better does not mean forgetting, and healing is learning how to accept traumatic experiences and to continue to live an exceptional life.

     

    God bless.
