Abstract

A knee pad includes a sleeve. A pad is disclosed on an outer surface of the sleeve having a length and a width. A channel is formed across substantially, the length of at least one of the length and width. In one embodiment, an insert is provided, the insert being sized to be received within the at least one channel. A fastener selectively fastens the insert within the channel.

1 . A knee pad comprising:
 a sleeve, the sleeve adapted to receive a leg of a user in a tension fit;   a knee cap disposed on the sleeve; and   a pad, the pad being disposed between the knee cap and the sleeve, the knee cap having a length and a width, the knee cap being formed with at least one channel therein, the at least one channel extending along at least one of the width and length of the knee cap.   
     
     
         2 . The knee pad of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one channel is sized and dimensioned to receive a portion of a structure therein sufficient to stabilize the user when the structure is received within the at least one channel. 
     
     
         3 . The knee pad of  claim 1 , further comprising an insert, the insert being received within the at least one channel. 
     
     
         4 . The knee pad of  claim 3 , wherein the insert is sized and dimensioned to fill the at least one channel. 
     
     
         5 . The knee pad of  claim 1 , comprising at least a second channel extending along at least one of a width or length of the knee cap and intersecting the at least first channel. 
     
     
         6 . The knee pad of  claim 5 , further comprising an insert, the insert being received within the at least second channel. 
     
     
         7 . The knee pad of  claim 5 , wherein the insert is sized and dimensioned to fill the at least second channel. 
     
     
         8 . The knee pad of  claim 3 , further comprising a third channel formed along the insert. 
     
     
         9 . The knee pad of  claim 3 , further comprising a fastener disposed within the at least one channel for fastening the insert to the knee cap. 
     
     
         10 . The knee pad of  claim 1 , wherein the knee cap and the pad are formed as a unitary construction.
