UK Arms Tactical Protective Pad Set, OD Green

Knee and elbow pads are the difference between playing the full game and walking off after the first engagement because your kneecaps are bruised. These UK Arms protective pads are built for that job: a plastic shell to take the abrasion and impact, in OD Green that blends into field terrain.

What they protect. The set covers both knees and both elbows, so you're sorted for going prone, crawling through cover, and the general bumps and scrapes that come with active field play. The plastic shell takes the hit while the padding underneath spreads the force across a wider area.

OD Green is the standard outdoor colour for airsoft loadouts, so these don't stand out against grass and woodland terrain. Plastic shells are the workhorse choice for protective gear: lighter than full metal, more abrasion-resistant than fabric alone, and they survive getting dropped on concrete in the parking lot.

Pair these with a good pair of gloves and you've got the basics covered for joint protection. The rest of your kit—vest, helmet, eye protection—handles everything else.
