Any thoughts on it? My idea was to get a pair to wear under a regular set of jeans...has anyone tried them?
Thanks!

Haven't tried them but intend to get leg armor. Better to combine the leg armor with some kevlar reinforced riding jeans though....You wouldn't want to be literally "a$$ out" in a get-off, eh?

I have the Icon leg armor and they are great, I wear them under my riding pants and don't even notice they are there when riding.

I know this thread is an oldie, but I take it these knee pads are not too warm then? I'd like to have some sort of armor on all my joints when I start to ride, so it would be nice to know these are fairly breathable so when the time comes I could feel safe just ordering them online.

I wear them in Texas in the summer. I sweat a bit under them but they're not bad at all. The underside is fabric and they have fabric "wings" that wrap around your leg for the three straps to go over. The top strap is a bit short. If you have big calves, you might have trouble getting them around to latch the velcro. I like mine.

We got the A* bionic knee. They are quite comfortable and fit both of our legs well.
