To all in this global surround of information highways, I sincerely
appreciate everyone having taken the time to reply to a niche query - a
water resistant/proof knee with global reach and support, the latter being
my interest. Below is a modest compendium of the replies. Perhaps the
contents below will satisfy the same musings of others in search of a viable
alternate medium experience for their clients. Thank you listserv:

 

I am not sure if it is already on your list of usual suspects, but The
All-Terrain knee collection might by worth looking at.

All-Terrain Knees from LegWorks.

 

All-Terrain Original (Fresh Water), 275lbs All-Terrain Premium (fresh and
salt Water) 330lbs All-Terrain Hydra (same as Premium, but also has
Hydraulic Dampening)

 

The feed back I got on waterproof knees is the Capital knee from College
Park or Ottobock's 3R80. These may be what you are referring to as usual
suspects.

Hi Dave, if you haven't heard of the HydraPro from LegWorks, it's worth
looking at. Waterproof even in salt water, easy manual locking mechanism. I
used it on a patient who is the captain of a fishing charter boat and he
loves it, he can keep it locked on the boat and easily unlock it on land. I
haven't found anything else that will withstand his conditions and still be
covered under warranty. You can change out bumpers and springs for
customization.

I hope that helps!

 

I was curious about the VGK, and here's the link since it's best for you to
read the waterproof section for yourself.

Is All terrain in your sphere?

 

There was also made mention of the Blatchford KX60, but in checking, it is
no longer in production.
