| I need your help. At the last OP, I wore my knee pads, and after one game I had to take them off because they were cutting the circulation off below the knee. The elastic bands on them are too small for my legs, haha. Does anybody know of anything I can do to make them fit better or some sort of extender thing I could use on them? | |

| The problem with that though, is that the velcro is right in the middle. And besides, I don't know how to so, haha. I guess I could staple it lmao | |

| Well your terrible if you can't sew, don't they teach you how in the rotc? If your gear is messed up, you have to fix it right, like it was never a problem | |

Links?
@lonesniper
Nope! In that case, you'd just tell the SMI/MI and either they'd get you a new one or they'd direct you to the Supply Cadet. | |

| Ya Neo is the way to go. I've never had pads last me more than a few months...but the Neoprene ones I got from Vermont Barre are holding up pretty well. Otherwise sew an extension or ask friend/family that can sew. And shame on you for not knowing how to sew  | |
