The pockets have velcro across the bottom and a strap that goes around the knee. I also wear a cheap set of sports (soccer?) kneepads under the suit.
Gives me plenty of cushion. I've been using the same kneepads for 8 years and the pads in the suit for 6.
Yeah me too. Plus, you can pull them down round your boot-tops (assuming you're wearing hiking boots) like gaiters, to keep the snow and pebbles out when you're hiking off the mountain (er, assuming you're on a mountain...).NZcaver wrote:I figure wearing them on top helps protect the suit - kneepads being only a fraction of what a good suit costs to replace. Plus they're a little easier to adjust when they move around.
