Sometimes i would wear them, sometimes not. I had forgot them at home this last weekend, hit a brushy spot. Somehow managed to come down on top of one of those big osage orange tree thorns with my right knee. Went straight in to the side of the kneecap. Still hurts days later.

I know I'm not going to forget them next time.

I always wear knee pads but only wear one because when I'm digging a target I'm only down on one knee.
