How do you wear your kneepads? I have a pair of Renegades and they fit the best over pants but look really stupid as my pants puff out above them and the pads cling to my shins. I have heard of people wearing the under pants with knee high socks to prevent chafing(sp?).

i got knee/shins i wear them over. mine fit well, i got the emotion pads there good take some getting used to but i think the fit well try crossing the straps , that seems to work, try them under your pants witha wash cloth, thats what my friend does, he got them at like a garage sale or his mom did or something.

I've got an old pair from roller blading, But I rarely wear'em the elastic cuts into the back part of my knees. I don't miss them until I slide into a bunker on my knees (hey just wait until you're old!, they hurt for a long time after) then I pay!

I play really agressively. Sliding, kneeling, running everywhere. One of the older guys at my field suggested I get some Renegades after I came in after a game with one knee tore open. I don't want to be bound by physical limitations(ex. bad knees) from any activities like pball or snowboarding. Just thinking ahead.

I keep the straps as loose as possible on the top...it keeps the elastic from cutting. The bottom three straps are non-adjustable(RASE pads are adjustable).
