Knee protection goes under pants?

[Nathan Rubin]

For 3 years I wonder with a simple question.
I have knee protecrion with flexible joint.
Should it go under or above riding pants and why?
I know that it is really stupid question. :rotfl:
Thanks.

All knee protection that I know of goes under riding gear. current gear manufacturers make the knees extra roomy. custom fit braces fit snug around the knee, and aftermarket too, no room for pants between the brace and knee.

also, a good reason is that when you're sliding in the dirt your knee braces are more likely stay buttoned or velcro'd and stay where they belong til the end of the crash if worn under the pants.......just a guess :think:

LMAO There was a guy that rode at the track all the time that always wore his on the outside. It was hilarious, someone must have told him cause he stopped doing it.

After spending all of that money for the coolest pants, why would you want to cover them up with pads or a brace??
