The Knox 213 hip armour in my Hood jeans/chino trousers is quite bulky.


Is there a thinner, but effective alternative?

The Knox 216 looks as if it could be thinner


Likewise what about less bulky pads for the knees?

Is D30 readily available in the UK?

I ended up getting some Hiprotec for the knees and the hips and stitching velcro to them.



I've not 'tested' them, but they are less bulky and much more comfortable thatn the previous Knox armour.
