I would recommend this product because BLACKHAWK! is AWESOME! But, I think the pads need to be redesigned so that they are not so uncomfortable and awkward when sitting down. See, when you sit with these pads on, the straps stretch so dramatically that there is a ton of room for them to slide around, leaving you to constantly have to readjust them and try not to touch them when sitting down. I'd recommend getting the Damascus knee/shin guards instead... much more comfortable and they protect the shin too.
Pros: very good material, great design except for....
Cons: they don't conform to knees when sitting down, uncomfortable/slide around when sitting down
