Time has crept up on me but I am attending a class in 2 weeks. It's two days of carbine and pistol work. Should be action packed.

I've attended several day classes of both carbine or pistol and it was obvious during the carbine class, I needed knee pads. A couple of times we were "competing" and I just threw myself to the gravel. At 46 with skinny chicken legs, I was a bit banged up.

So with that said, what knee pads are focus successfully wearing these days?
Details:
I'll probably have cargo shorts on OR
5.11 standard tactical pants.
Pretty skinny legs and 6'3"

I am wide open on brands, open to wearing them over or under the pants? (no inserts though).

Is there a proven market leader in these types of things? A preference or other?
(I'm running Esstac gear across the board otherwise.)

I like these. Unfortunately, they are out of stock with Midway at the moment. I've seen some decent looking ones in the hardware stores.
Don't mess with the ants. They're well armed, they shoot straight, and there's more of them than you can imagine.

I like Arc'teyx kneepads.  The strap closure system on them is the only one that doesn't loosen up on me, they're light and bend where you need to.

Ill third it... buy once cry once.  I have two other sets of pads, they suck in comparison.

Perhaps a bit late, but I use shooting mats when shooters have kneel or go prone.
