Only if I get into a stretch where I have detected numerous times in a row without a recoup time for the knees

Nope. The discomfort of the elastic is more than the comfort of padded knees. But I do use an oversized dirt towel, and usually put a knee on there to avoid grass stains.

on left knee only if wearing long pants. Don't try it wearing shorts. I did and I all of a sudden noticed I was bleeding from the strapes rubbing on my skin.
Most of the time and never in sand .
Who worries about grass stains...
Head to the thrift shop... but 3-4 pair of blue jeans a just a little big so they are comfy and beat em up... I never pay more than a few bucks a pair... and I never wear knee pads...

I said sometimes, but it's really rarely lol I can't find a comfortable pair that doesn't bind or slip off. So I just sacrifice the old jeans. But a couple of times kneeling on small rocks and the old knees tell me OUCH

Haven't yet....Some day maybe....
I use them all the time. I have an arthritic hip and need to use a walking stick to help getting back up so the knee pads allow me to turn into the right position so my good leg can get me up.

I never use them unless the ground is real wet basically to keep the wet out. I seldom wear them in regular grass that's not too wet but when I'm around an old foundation in the woods I'll use them cause of the glass and stuff.
I dont use them but I should now. Gained some wait over hibernation.
I got a garret 550 and a garret gold scorpion. I live in northeast maryland almost on the mason dixon line.
I don't use any, its just one more thing to slow me down(putting them on) when I get there to detect.
