Comments: These are not good if you have large thighs like I do. I make due with them but they are super snug and I know people notice. I am going to add some more Velcro to them soon but I will say, when I fall, it doesn't hurt so they are amazing. Also, I find it hard for me to get low to do crossovers with these because they are extremely bulky.

Comments: Heads up: they run small compared to other 187 knee pads!

Comments: These knee pads are comfortable and convenient. You can put them on after you are suited up because they attach over your clothes. They have plenty of padding almost to the point that you want to fall on your knees because you will not feel it. I am so pleased that I purchased some for my wife and son and we all enjoy wearing them. The price is worth what you get - comfort, convenience, and great protection!
