Is there such a thing? Any other way of getting knee sliders on textiles?

Cheers in advance! Thumbs Up

You can get velcro patches to add to any trousers.
However, worth keeping an eye on ebay and local ads for half-decent leather trousers.

Textile trousers tend to move around more that leather. Chances are the first time the puck hits the deck it will twist the textile leg of the trouser around and it will end up behind the knee.

I've got a set of leathers, but they're shit every time it rains, and I'm going away for a week soon round England, so I expect rain to arrive at a few points...

Finglonga, I'm not too sure if it would twist *that* much, as knee out tightens it all. Only one way to find out. Very Happy

Round the back of the knee is an exaggeration but they do move at least an inch on tight textile trousers as they are very thin flexible material. You could always sew them to the armour underneath. Wink

To be honest I'd just get a pair of leathers and a pair of textiles.

You're not going to be planting your knee when it's pissing it down, 'cos the bike will end up into a wall and you'll be following it.

Cant see there being a problem with them twisting. Your slider's are only mean to lightly skim the ground anyways Smile
