    do you wear shin/knee pads?

    how many of you wear them? and what ones do you wear? i always slide on my knees, and after a day, they can get a little raw from time to time. but i can't bring myself to buy a pair.

      CPhil sold me a pair of Dye Xcel kneepads that work great. I don't think the shin protection is necessery, but thats just me.

          I dont use any pads... When I slide , I dont go directly on my knee's. I go like baseball slide.

            well i used to wear some, i had the redz knee/shin combo and they rocked, but they got uncomfortable after a while, but now i have 32* pants with built in knee pads so i got rid of them.

              Yeah, I need something on my gimped-up knees... I've got the knees of a 70 year old.

              Dye Excels for me, too.

              Say what you want about Dye, yes, they're overpriced sometimes, and yes, a lot of people get it just bo "cool", but they do make some really good stuff.
              sigs are overrated.

                  I can't seem to find a pair that Fit. I've tried RASE pads and JT E-motions... I think I might have to look outside the industry to find something that'll work for me.

                      Dye kneepads. Very comfy after you break them in and, most importantly, they never move during a slide.

                        Never worn them, probably never will.

                        If you are looking outside the industry, AXO makes some for mountainbiking that might fit you.

                          renegades are good, even if your not gonna do a lot of sliding... bounces are good.

                              Never worn a pair of knee pads. I play on mostly dirt fields, so its not that bad sliding.
