I was impressed . A few weeks later however I was at an event in Colorado for the Ally Remembered Foundation and one of the players had Hydra Fit players pants made of the same material . They were rather new but had a massive hole .

Now , as I said above , I wear my knee pads under my pants and my knee pads are PERFECT ! Plus , we are not reviewing the playing pants but the knee pads . I only bring the friction concern up because someone may play in shorts , and it could be an issue . For me , it is obviously not an issue and I doubt it will be for most players .

The only problem I have really found with these bad ass knee pads is that they can trigger allergic reactions . With me and most
