Soooo many options (Looking for knee/shin protection)

Noobman · August 1st, 2013, 05:24 PM

Guys and gals,

Ok, theres soo many options out there I don't know what to pick.

I'm looking for a low profile (preferably) knee/shin protection that I can wear under my jeans, pants, trackpants, longjohns

Anyways, if it helps, I'll post my dimensions;
I'm 5'9, 145lbs

My local shops never have much of a selection (maybe 2-3) so I'm looking online and I can't make a decision , especially since I cant try it on.

Can someone recommend me something ?

Over or under your pants?

I like tpro/forcefield armor

super light, really flexible and comfortable. If you can find their Zeus knee guards, they actually have better protection around the sides of the knees than most other armors.

I put my armor into my leather pants but before that I fit them under jeans. You could even do them over. The fabric goes all the way around like a tube so it's not going anywhere so quick like just the velcro ones would on the outside.
