So there are dye hybrids on sale for 41 dollars so i was going to order them but decided to look at some reviews and they only made my one concern worse..and thats knee padding..so then i was looking at the 05 protos which seem to have sufficeint padding.

So any opinoins on the 2 if you have or know some who has used these pants?

hybirds
or
05 protos?

I wants something with good knee padding ..o yea whats this about netting in the protos??Is this true? IS there netting in the hybrids..i hate that netting stuff.

I wear my protos more than I wear my C4 gear. I honestly prefer it that much.

the hybrids are a great pair of pants, but do not expect knee padding. it is a reinforced knee, not a padded knee like on the c5's or the old smokin pants. you should still enjoy them though, that much i can say

I have been wearing my proto's for a long time now, and have had no tears, rips, or really anything wrong with them. The knees are really worn, but, that is to be expected while sliding everywhere, im actually suprised they havent ripped yet. They have been a grade A product for me.
