Can't speak to whether or not you could remove the armor for use in other articles of clothing, but with the "tubes" they're intended to be knee/shin armor. They go from the knee down to mid-shin. If you wear riding boots they stop right above the top of your boot so you have protection all the way down from your knee.
Click on the "Revzilla" link in my OP to go to their product page for these.
