I paired these with UF PRO Solid Tactical Knee Pads for maximum knee protection. Compared to your regular cheap strapped knee pads these are lightyears ahead, sure they cost a bit more but begin on your kneed for longer durations or just sitting around you can always be ready to go. Having wrecked my knees in the youth I can vouch for these inside any pair or pants - they are fairly low profile without sacrificing protection and don't press on your knees even when sitting for longer periods of time.
