The knee pads are made of a knitted sleeve, with khaki serge covered padding to the front. A leather lace was passed through 10 loops to close them. They were issued in different sizes: small, medium and large.
Knee pads were issued for training purposes and designed to be worn under the trousers, but were found to be very unpopular.
