So I am looking for some advice on adding knee pads to my wetsuit. Before this thread devolves into a debate about the need for knee pads when you are supposed to be floating mid-water though, lets just agree that sometimes knee pads are legitimately required.
So in my situation, I have already noticed some minor cuts to my relatively new wetsuit in the knee area due to an abundance of sharp shells. Yes, I can just repair the cuts, but I would also like to reinforce the area to extend the life of the suit. I ideally would like rubber knee pads like I had on my training suit, but I can't find any sources for aftermarket knee pads that would be suitable for gluing onto a wetsuit. Instead I found these CF200 knee pads that are actually meant for use with a drysuit. Click
These CF200 knee pads should be pretty durable and yet still flexible at the same time. I assume I could use something like aquaseal to adhere the pads to the suit. My question is if anyone has ever actually done something like this before or has a better idea.
Thanks in advance
