These are the best knee pads I have found. I had some softball knee pads but they kept working there way down and turning. Strap the redz on and the shin protection keeps them from sliding down. I wear them on the outside of my pants so I don't have any complaints about discomfort to my legs. I got these just before Christmas so I have been using them about 6 months and don't have any regrets. (These are not the 2002 model, but the previous model)
Weaknesses:
The price is high when compaired to non-paintball knee pads. Oh well, I guess you have to pay a premium for the best.
Conclusion:
Love 'em. If they were less expensive they would rate a ten. But without regard to cost they are the best I have found.
