NZCol - trolling or just a complete kn*b ?
You only get one pair of knees but then it's all down to personal choice, the OP isn't asking for opinions on that.

I used a pair of Kyle Straits for years - very good, protected my knees well and only had to retire them as they started falling apart.
I now have some O'Neal Sinner Sastec jobbies - highly recommended also.Posted 4 months ago # -
+ 1 for RaceFace Dig

+1 for 661 Evo's. Thin and cool enough to use on all day rides, and seem to stay in place. Not cheap, but worth it if you want "fit and forget"

I use POC Joint VPD Knees and find them pretty comfortable and reasonably tough. I previously used Race Face Rally FR kneepads but I eventually wore my original pair out and the replacements fitted differently and rubbed badly. Since I moved to the VPD pads I haven't been particularly bothered by the loss of the shin guards.

I can recommend Endura MT500 pads for when you know you'll crash :oops:and gform when you might crash.

+1 for Endura MT500s.
Got mine 'free' with a 6 month subscription to WMB for £21 last November.
They work, keep my knees warm this weather and are not noticable after the first 2-3 minutes of riding.

That soft pads offer no more protection than arm warmers? Seriously? Honestly from most people I'd assume you're on a troll. They won't stop a sharp rock or a hard edge as well as a hard pad but there's still a substantial amount of protection there. Or at least, there is with well designed pads.
If you like, we can do a test- you can put on knee warmers, I'll put on kyle straits, we can take turns falling on our knees or kneeing shifters, see who cries uncle first
