do these pants have a place to insert knee pads? I have seen the question answered both yes and no.

the ones I got do not have a place to insert knee pads. Popper makes them but they are much more expensive.

I have been wearing Propper Lightweight pants for five years and I would have told you no but I looked closer and they all do have a pocket for knee pads. I had to fold the pant leg back to find it. It always looked just like a reinforced knee but the pocket is there.

Yes, I have purchased two pairs here on amazon several months apart and the both have the pockets. I missed them at first, the pockets open at the side, not the top as you might expect.

Yes they do. They have two which helps them keep them in place. They do slide down a bit but nothing like any of the other kind I have use. I have one on each knee when they are flaring up. They usually smooth the flare up down and I can go 2-3 days or more without wearing them again.

I wear them playing softball. They keep my knees from getting skinned up when I dive catching ground balls. Been wearing these type of knee pads for many years and they have saved my knees.

No. All the padding is up front (about 4 inches long). The back is your typical Velcro strapping. I just make sure the back of the straps line up so the Velcro doesn't rub up against the back knee. I don't think they provide support like a knee brace, but they're light and easy to put/take off. Enough support for the patella.

Mine are a little shorter than I usually like. They stop right at the knees and I would like them to go just a little past. But since they are really meant to be tactical it makes sense that they would allow for better running and such. I think the length is proportional to the waist number.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure. Are you talking about putting them in the knee sleeve? I actually picked this up fro someone else. So, I'm not too familiar with it past a cursory level.

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

They are adjustable...so I can't see why they wouldn't fit. They are a little bulky at first, but I have never had a more comfortable knee pad.

From my experience, these will not slide down when you run. The key is getting your lower strap above your calf and having it at the right tightness. If you do both of these things, you wont have a problem. If you have really small calves, then any knee pad you have is likely to slip down. (If you buy this product, make sure to even out the clothing underneath your lower strap before use as wrinkles and bunches of clothing under the strap can cut of blood supply and cause discomfort.

No, they fit right below natural waistline. I love these pants/shorts, although I did listen to previous reviews and ordered 2 sizes up.

Yes, they will fit in the carhartt overall knee pockets. However, they are MUCH more difficult to remove for washing! The pockets on the new carhartts are larger than the original pockets and the carhartt inserts are too small for the larger pocket so they don't keep in place over the knee when I'm working on my knees. These inserts do a better job. It would be great if the carhartt inserts were larger since they were very comfortable.

We found these pants to be long and my daughter does not have short legs. Look at the inseam on the picture they provide, that would only be below the knee if you pull them up and bunch them.

No, but you would want to find good youth pads. Adult pads are too big. I have been real impressed with the quality of this gear. Even with having to buy separate knee savers.

You can cinch them in around the ankles. I imagine you could hem them up, if necessary, but you'd have to deal with the elastic band that cinches around the ankles. They are a GREAT pair of pants! I'm planning on ordering another pair in a different color.

Yes, the pants have elastic built in to them. I have a similar problem, and I have found these pants to be some of the most comfortable pants I have ever owned.

Yes they do. They clip to the shorts. Padding is a bit thicker than my street bike shorts.

The belt has two places where you can put them. The holes are around your hips. Check them!
