These Floating Knee plates are a joke and I will be sending mine back. They are constructed like there Floating Elbow plates so for the price they are pretty good. Over all quality is not the problem, the plates will not go over you lower thigh or your upper calf, and they are so narrow they will not go over you leg gambeson. The range of motion is also a joke, you will not be able properly kneel with out the plates popping out of place. It seams to me that the manufactures just took there Floating Elbow plates and made the ends long and called it a day. In the end if you have any kind of leg definition outside of a broom stick, I would avoid these.
