Motorcycle trousers -pads / body armour, off centre

Hey there.

I have been having a problem with every pair of motorcycle trousers that I find. First off the knee pads. They always seem to be moving to the insides of my knees, considering if I fall off I'm likely to hit the outside of my knee it's not very good.

Then the hip pads are a problem as well, they always tend to move downwards, and I can't pull up the trousers any more without giving myself a wedgie. o_O

Any one got any advice or tips on this?

Thanks

Are you skinny? I've found more than 90% of textile trousers won't fit me, and a fair few leather trousers. Usually use one-piece leathers because of it.

Best bet is to go around as many stores as you can and litearlly try every pair on one after another and see which one fits right, took me ages. Recently got a pair that is good enough, but not perfect, use them when I have to really.
