    Default Knee Protection

    I bought these new Bauer Supreme One95 pants recently, was sold on them due to the built in knee protection. I can't get them to stay covering my whole knee. I find they ride up and expose just enough to get hit, and on Friday I got hit, and it sucks.

    I tried the old RBK ones, they kept slipping, they were bulky, and the plastic dug in to my knee.

    I've had thigh boards that always went under my pants, and caused issue with catching.

    I've had Brian's thigh wraps, that still left a little exposed, and got hit in the knee still

    I've had these pants now. I'm getting really frustrated cause getting hit in the knee like that can wreck your game, short term and long term.

    Anyone got any ideas? I've heard and read a couple reviews on PAW knee pads, but still not really sold on them.

    I've seen Luongo with some serious protection, but what are the pro's using?

    I use PAWS and love them, no sliding, custom fit and great protection all around. here is a pic of them below.

    I have the RBK that digs into you knee and with alittle adjusting and tape they work great for me, just have to put them on right.

    A friend of mine had these and I think it's also what the pros use.

    I use thigh boards. I sewed loops onto the back of my legs on my pants and run the thighboard strap thru that. the loop seems to keep the boards on top of my pants.
    Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
