I've been thinking about trying over the boot riding pants for a while
now, mainly because I'd like a couple of pockets in my riding pants.
Seems like my riding pants tucked into my boot is what keeps the knee
pads in place more than the straps. I would think it would get
uncomfortable if I had to cinch the knee pad straps up tighter...
Do those of you that wear them have any issue with your knee pads not
staying put?
Thanks,
Craig

Nope, no problem. Scott does sometimes, but I think he could tighten
up the upper part of the boot a skosh and the problem would go away.
Get some, you'll like them. You can get screaming deals on last years
stuff all over the internet too, sice O-T-B pants fell out of favor
with the freestyle crowd. They kick ass for the trial riding crowd.

Yep. If you want, I can forward you the clearance sale e-mails I
get that have them included. I've seen some pretty good deals
lately.

Go fast and aim for where the trees aren't.

Yes, please do.
Thanks for all of the replies, I'll give them a try.

It must be because all the old guys started wearing them :-)
Best time of year for clearances is August. All the new stuff comes out in
July.
