So does anyone wear knee/shin pads under regular (or kevlar-lined) denim pants? There seems to be many knee/shin pads on the market, but from the photos it's unclear how bulky different brands are and whether they'd fit under pants. My recent off-road training session made me realize that in a minor crash, the knees would probably take a hit, and my knees have enough problems right now.

Recommendations of brand/model for my purposes? Thanks in advance.

Here's some info

Yeah, I wear some A*'s kneepads under my kevlar riding jeans. The riding jeans I have are a baggy style, but there is plenty of excess space. Before I acquired my various pairs of riding jeans/pants, I wore the kneepads under my khaki pants when I rode to work.

Field Sheer and Icon have pretty good knee armor for around $60-$70. My A*'s were only $25 and they work well, but they really need a third velcro strap IMO. I have to cross the straps up to get a secure fit; it is a minor inconvenience for the price savings though.

I saw complaints like what Xoulrath said about ones with only two straps. I got the Dainese ones with three straps and have been very happy with them.

I use the knox large knee armor. Works great. Three straps and doesnt look any different under my shift torque jeans.

Where has Adrian been? He used to ride this way all the time on the GMR.

I wear the Dainese knee V guards as well. I do not find them to be bulky under some 5.11's but a little tight with wrangler relaxed fit jeans.

Not tight at all under my icon riding jeans.

I used to wear knee armor, but when I bought the A*'s SMX5 boots, I don't think I can use them anymore.

i wear icon field armor knee guards under my shift kevlar jeans. I love my knees too much :)

I wear racing boots as well (A*SMX-Rs) and I have no problems wearing my knee gaurds (Icons), all I have to do is stick the lower part of the guard into the boot and strap up! :D
I've hurt my knee before and I'm not taking chances again :rolleyes:

I (used to) wear Forcefield's strap on knee pads with Sartso jeans. I have Sidi Vertigo boots and do pretty much the same as EthioKnight.

Hmmm...I'll give it a try here in the near future. Thanks!!
