RSparky Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Seeing Coolwhip's thread has me a little concerned. Plus, I just got my uniforms for my new job, and the pants are just slacks. I want to ride to work though.So, I'm thinking some kind of knee pads that I can put under or over the pants. Haven't searched the internet yet, just wanted to get a direction before I go previewing everything. Also, I prefer cheap. This new job pays shit.

grapesmuggler27 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Cheap buys you no protection. The best protection is a pair of leather riding pants. Next would be the armored jeans . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 That philosophy would have me riding naked. Cheap is better than nothing, sir. I'm not going tracking anytime soon. I just want something to protect my leg/knees. The Stryker knee pads look legit, but they're also the most expensive on MCSS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I wear sliders kevlar Jeans, they have Velcro pockets inside for knee armor. $80 for Jeans, $10 for armor. Change into your uniform at work (I use the handicap stall). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd backpack that shit and wear whatever makes you comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change into your uniform at work (I use the handicap stall).That's what I do and I also had no idea I could put armor in my Sliders I know what I'm getting soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I can change, and I consider it, but I already have to hide my backpack full of books, helmet, and jacket in the cashier's office. It's a car dealership. The ten lockers for 30 men are already taken. And too small for a helmet, or backpack for that matter. Nonetheless, I'll look into those jeans. $90 for whole leg protection vs. just knees is intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I personally don't wear the armor for everyday riding, its a pain in the ass, they sit just below your knee while standing and rub you're shins when you walk. Also the Velcro on the inside pockets irritates the shit you of my skin, but they do offer a decent amount of protection and look pretty good.

330racing Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I have sliders jeans as well. The knee armor imo wont stay in place if you ever need it. It moves all around. I bought the Taichi hard knee guards from sportbike track gear. They are very comfortable and seem to stay in place because they are directly on your legs.

Turbotom09 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 cyclegear has leather pants on sale for 99.99 I just got mine about 2 weeks ago, I love them. I've never worn pants along with my jacket, boots, helmet and gloves before and it is definitely a big confidence booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just buy motox knee guards. They will give you the protection, stay in place, and are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
