I got these. Very thick, armor is good around the knees and hip. the buttons are on the cheap side and ripped when i tried it on when i got it but no worry. Maybe not something to walk around in all day since they are a tad bulky but overall i think they would protect pretty well. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices |

Other than that, color me one happy Thor customer. | do they protect the sides of your knees well?

I highly doubt it. I know Lee Parks sells their Total Control Strap-On knee sliders that are suppose to fit any pant. Total Control Strap-Ons from Lee Parks Design Catalog | |
