Are you talking about Icon Knee/Shin Field Armor?

I've been wondering how well that fits under jeans.

I used to have both the elbow and knee Icon armor, gave the knee armor away to a friend who needed a little extra padding in the event of a slow-speed fall. Both pieces seemed to be of decent quality, if I didn't have my actual armored pants I'd have kept them. I liked the knee/shin armor more than the elbow pieces, just seemed to fit me better, but the knee/shin didn't fit as tightly as I would prefer.

My partner was in a very serious accident (hit in the side by a drunk driver who jumped a median and several lanes of traffic before plowing into him). He was thrown across several rows of traffic and 20 feet into the right-of-way before bouncing off a chain link fence and rolling back across several lanes of traffic. He was in a lot of pain (concussion, but with a full face helmet, his pretty face that skidded across all those lanes of traffic is still pretty), some messed up scars even through his leather jacket (but the jacket just ripped at the seam and was later repaired with a new, bloodless lining added. The only broken bone was in his foot. He was wearing sneakers instead of his boots. He never, ever goes out without boots now; it doesn't matter what's happening!
