Kneepads are worn in many recreational and sporting activities such as cycling, rollerskating, skateboarding, volleyball, handball, basketball, American football, polo, dancing, etc. In polo, kneepads serve primarily to protect the rider's knee when "riding off" an opponent.
Kneepads are also used in various trades, for the home handyman, for police SWAT teams, are incorporated into military uniforms such as the Army Combat Uniform and the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform. These kneepads are generally designed differently than the general all round high impact kneepads made for sports.
