Ok so i was tired of me knees being all destroyed after I got back from playing. I went to my local shop and saw these hanging next to my knee pads. I couldn't pass them up. Normally I play back so these are not completely necessary. Since i have gotten them i have taken 4 bounces off of my forearm. I made two snake crawls since I got these. I could not feel a thing with them. Normally I don't wear a jersey so these take a beating with me. With all i have been playing i have not had one tear or rip.
Conclusion:
Get these you may think they are pricy but it is so worth it in the end.
