I wanted a product that I could wear on its own and under normal cloths and feel these hit the spot while still being at a reasonable price point. They’re comfortable and stretchy and still AA rated with level 1 hip and knee armour. The only thing I would say is that they do come up short, I know they’re technically under armour but I’m only 5’5” and they come between ankle and mid shin when riding if you have long boots it’s fine but I’d suggest they look at providing a longer length for taller people
