Knee armor for khaki sliders - Son of the Hounds WA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: I like the idea of knee armor and you forget they are there when riding
Cons: Might have to adjust the pocket several times
Pockets on some sliders seem wider and might allow the knee armor to rotate slightly. I had to fiddle with it several times. Might be that the knee pocket is too wide, but I think I have solve the issue now. Note is that it might take several minor adjustments to get knee armor to the right place and secure before you can forget they are there.
CE armor in Sliders - Son of the Hounds WA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: When installed at the right height, seem to disappear
Cons: Installion not intuitive
Armor is armor. Once installed they fit and you basically forget they are there. Installation in Sliders for me was easier from the bottom. I rolled the lower leg up, found the mesh pocket bottom, opened up all three velcro tabs, reached in with my hand and opened two of the upper velcro tabs, pushed in the armor and closed the three velcro tabs on the bottom. This placed the CE armor high enough to me comfortable while standing and in a perfect location when riding.

Pros: Fit the slider jeans well
Cons: [None]
The knee pads fit in the slider jeans very well. They seem like they will give good protection, hopefully I won't have to find out.
Hopefully, won't have review on how they hold up - CWG RI
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Inexpensive knee protection
Cons: Couldn't figure how to install them initially
Seem like a decent add on to the Sliders pants. Seemed like cheap money to help protect knees. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to install them, but Competition Accessories set up a video to show me how. I'd read it wasn't the only one. Once I saw the video, it made perfect sense and they went in very easily. Great service
EXCELLENT - Pete - Las Vegas NV
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Easy to install and ADJUSTABLE
Cons: None
I really like this feature - this was one of the reasons I went with the SLIDER Riding jeans over the competition.
Slider CE Approved Knee Armor - Dave M FL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Fits great, easy to install
Cons: none
Fit real good and very comfortable. I haven't experienced any twisting problem as some have experienced. I have them placed in my jeans for riding, not standing. Maybe that is the difference.
Good fit - Lynn FL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Good fit & flexible
Cons: None
I bought these to go into my Bella Slider jeans for ladies. They are very flexible and comfortable on and off the bike. They don't make you look like a robot like other armored pants I own.
Good design - JMagna NC
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Fit well over knee, offer sturdy protection from impacts
Cons: See review
This knee armor is designed for use with the Sliders riding pants, and although I haven't truly tested them out yet thankfully, I have done low impact things with them like simply kneeling on the ground and it feels like my knee is resting on the softest pillow you've ever felt...or something, but I can tell the armor is good quality and would prevent my knees from getting busted in a fall.The only down side about these, which is more about the pants really, is that they don't stand still when you move around which I guess is kind of obvious, but I just want to point that out.I would definitely recommend trying them for the price.
Extra padding never hurts - Slider knee armor NV
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Is what it says it is. Add a safety margin
Cons: [None]
My knee armor came with the two pair of slider pants I ordered. I like the whole set up. I have expensive riding pants but wanted to wear denim occasionally without sacrificing safety. Theses fit the bill...and me, though they run a little large. I confess I'm not good at puzzles and couldn't figure out how to insert the pads into the pants. I emailed service and got help but still had problems figuring out how the pads fit into the attached nylon pocket. I was about to give up when my wife said give me those and in sixty seconds had the pads installed correctly.

Fit perfect in the pants great protection
Hope to never need them - MotoJerry CA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: It's knee armor
Cons: a little bulkier than I thought
While I hope to never need these, I got them anyway with the Sliders Kevlar jeans. A bit bulkier than I thought they would be but they fit well into the pockets in the jeans. Seem comfortable after a couple of short rides, but can't comment on longer rides. Also, no comment yet and hopefully never on how well they actually work.
Great value... - Birdman
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Great value for the protection.
Cons: None
Bought with Slider Cargo 4.0 pants. I have been very pleased with the product use over the last few months.Armor fit well around my knee and I had to check numerous times to see if I still had them while I was riding.Excellent bang for the buck
Knee Armor - Prescott VA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Right sized fit into Pants location
Cons: potential for tears at knee split point
Haven't had a chance to test these yet in a fall and hope that won't happen. Fit well into pants I bought and after looking at the instructions easy to place. I have been taking them out when I wash the pants but have 2 pairs of Knee Armor and may see or try a load with them in place to save time in placement after every drive.
seem good - prrrrple CA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: pretty comfortable
Cons: can feel the connecting joints
These seem pretty decent for casual knee protection when riding. Fit well inside the bella jeans. The only downside is that you need to play around the the positioning of them to keep the flexible joint section from rubbing against your kneecap and causing discomfort. I also wear stretchy leggings under the jeans to help with any rubbing. Overall I'm pleased with them. Just needed to get the positioning right.
They Work But Could Be Better - JamesRussellPublishing.com NV
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Better Than No Armor
Cons: Needs Better Method To Stay On The Knee
I use the Sliders 4.0 pants and I use the Knee Armor in all of them. The knee armor tends to flip off the knee or fall out of the pants, but if you Silicone glue the Velcro retainers so they stay closed the knee armor can't fall out of the pants when walking or riding. I would rather they offer an option to buy knee armor that is impact viscoelastic. That armor is soft but hardens when impacted. But wearing these lower quality knee protectors is way better than nothing and can still prevent serious and painful knee injury from impact or sliding. Do buy these when you buy your Sliders pants.
Better than I thought - Pete G NY
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Soft and somewhat form fitting. Inexpensive. Easy to install and remove
Cons: None so far
I don't know how these will fair after hitting the road... And I hopeto never find out, but they're a great bargain and offer somepiece of mind
Added protection - Mike IL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Light weight, flexable
Cons: non
These feel good and seem like they would help alot in a wreck. I had a bad wreck last year 5 days in ICU 5 days on a floor and 3 months to recover so I am a big fan of armor. I put these in a pair of sliders and you can hardly see they are there. They give me an added feeling of security when riding and are not intrusive. I always ride with an armored jacket, pants, helmet and gloves since There is no doubt I would be dead now without them instead of riding again. Well worth the money.
Good product - Stan VA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: good shape
Cons: none so far
these are great pads,I hope never find out if they work properlyThe only problem I have when using them is actually because of the Kevlar jeans- they don't stay at the proper position once you put the jeans on.Too much free movement of the pads around.But again,this is a issue caused from the jeans.
Knee Pads - Champion CA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Fit into Kevlar pants
Cons: Small
I ordered the knee pads for my Kevlar jeans. Worth a little more to save my knees if needed.Pads are a little small but fit nicely into pants. A little loose but covers the knee caps.
upnorthguy - cardiff WI
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: tough, well made
Cons: takes getting used to
nice product, i should be wearing these
Not so good - Dave B IA
Recommended by Reviewer: No
Pros: Better than nothing
Cons: Hard to install into Slider jeans, float around so not sure they would be there in a fall.
If you don't wear any other kneeshin guards then these would be better than just Kevlar on the knees but they are kind of difficult to get in and out for washing the jeans and they tend to float around because jeans are loose. I wear strap on kneeshin guards strapped over Sliders but I'm kind of a safety zealot ATGATT.
Knee armor - Jimmym PA

Pros: some protection
Cons: [None]
Fit reasonably well in jeans. A little tricky getting in at first. Not bad addition and reasonably priced.
So,So - LKLD FL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: [None]
Cons: [None]
These are very basic knee pads, that would be better than nothing I would guess. They fit ok in the Sliders Cargo pants I have, but nothing really makes them special.....but the price.
Good but not Great - Ty WA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Good protection
Cons: Not made great, move around
I purchased a pair of these knee pads with the Sliders 4.0 about two years ago. They offer good protection and, if you do it right, will sit right over the knee. If you don't put them in just right, they will move side to side, and sometimes will slip down.Warning Take them out carefully The very first time I removed them I ripped one of the pads in half at a bending point rubber cement fixed it decently. For long rides these work very well. They are more likely to slip and move if you stop a lot and get off and on the bike which I do.I gave the knee pads 3 stars because they ripped apart so easily and because they move around so much.
On the move - Yamabob
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Affordable, seem very durable.
Cons: Move around inside the jeans.
I ordered the sliders 4.0 blue jeans and figured a little extra protection couldn't hurt. I have only ridden a few times with them in the jeans and notice they don't stay put. They wind up on the inside or outside of my knee and I constantly have to adjust them. The jeans have 3 different levels you can put the armor in, I have tried all 3 and for me the lowest level works best. Just wish there was some kind of strap system to keep them in place.
CE knee armor - PG NJ
Recommended by Reviewer: No
Pros: The size fits
Cons: over priced
For what essentially is foam rubber this is way overpriced. For 20.00 you can buy knee shinguards down to the top of your ankle.These Do fit in the pants but should really come with them. They are worth about 4.00
Sliders Armor - Jim TX
Recommended by Reviewer: No
Pros: Good quality
Cons: Really hard to take in and out.
The jean legs are so baggyloose fitting that you would need to strap the armor in or they would probably shift off your knees in a crashslide. It is really hard to put the armor in and take out.Also it feels awkward walking around with the armor in. It doesn't with my mesh tex pants. Maybe it would be better to have the pouch to take them off and on on the outside of the jeans. I don't think I will ever use the armor as I use the mesh tex on trips. The jeans are just for local jaunts. The armor upgraded me to free shipping so really didn't cost much.
Save your money - CharlieDog TN
Recommended by Reviewer: No
Pros: None that I see, but it's not their fault. See below.
Cons: A waste of money
If you're considering this armor to fit inside Sliders jeans, save your money. The jeans are so baggy, there is no way the armor will stay in position in the event of a crash. Spend the money on some motocross shin guards, or something similar. There's plenty of room inside the legs of the jeans.
