Got woken at 8:30am by first delivery,my new DATATAG kit.
2nd to arrive was my Loobman oiler.
3rd arround 12:45 was my new Aussie bikers kevlar cargo pants!

Not too sure about the pants,they came with the CE knee protectors inserted and rather than cover my knee and the outer side they cover my inner knee....which seems bloody useless to me.
Anyone got a pair and do your pads cover your knees?Considering sending them back because of that.

In my aussie bikers trousers, the armor can tend to slide to the inside when they're folded up, but can be move back with a bit of effort. Pondering on purchasing a pair of these since every pair of biking trousers I've got, the knee armor is in the wrong place one way or another. Either too low, too high, or slides around like the aussie biker jeans.

If the armour isn't removeable, or is removeable but can't be repositioned correctly within the built in pockets, then I'd be minded to send them back.

Cite the Distance Selling Regulations 2000, don't give a reason, require a full refund, no "restocking fee", plus the postage costs from them to you, be prepared for a bun fight.

However, are you sure they can't be repositioned? If they're simply moving out of position, then a couple of stitches in the armour pockets should do the trick, or see if you can bodge up something with sticky velcro. I'd be surprised if you genuinely can't find an acceptable solution.

If all else fails, turn yourself inside-out, then your knees will match the armour.

I have a set of these which I wear under a set of Draggin jeans:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Knox-Flex-Lite-Knee-Guards/dp/B0041GH1RO

which work perfectly when on the bike, and you feel quite protected. They dont move around either which is a bonus.

Off the bike, they're pretty discrete to not "bulge" too much. Might be worth considering as a replacement for the stock armor you had come with the Aussies.

Gonna take my knox kneepads out of my Jofama wet weather pants and see what they feel like.

It kind of feels like the pouch has been stitched in too much toward the inside leg seam.The pads cover the inside leg around the knee ,not the back if I gave that impression.

Gotta wait though,I have a bathroom and kitchen to clean.....really should get me a woman so I don't have to keep doing this every 6 to 8 months Wink
