Look like they're built into the trousers @Countryman

Search up replica g3 or g2 combat pants. In most good clones you can adjust the height of the pad.

 
Yes that's the chappies. Thanks again Aengus.

Found them on eBay but my lad would need and extra small size that they don't seem to do. Those will have to wait.

 Being that you are built like my son, can I ask what's the score with the knee pads here? What are they or are they built into your trousers?

I have my issue Blackhawk knee pads but fitting them on him would be like trying to fit them to most blokes elbows.

They aren't built in. I slip them into the trousers before my game. Little inserts. They came with the trousers. Amazon specials.

They're called built in anyway...

To be exact they're replicas of the Crye air flex pads, and just noticed you're wearing them the wrong way, the actual shell needs to be on the outside of the pocket..

Still haven't found an extra small and suspect if I get this wrong they will function as shin guards.

Look like versions from about £30 to £70 depending on where and what version you go for.

He can skin his knees a bit. Its character building.

 
A couple of friends stitched them, just a tiny stitch at each corner..

I haven't had troubles with mine yet, they're still in place.. I guess it depends on luck xD

Dunlop volleyball knee pads from sports direct - I run them. Pretty good for the £7 they cost me. Worth a shot even if he doesn't like them.

Most combat pants have the option to raise the pads by adjusting a string in the front pockets, or you can add Velcro strips to the back so your son can fit them where they're supposed to be..

I am fat so I had to take a XL instead of a L size and the pants are a bit too long for my legs, I added Velcro and now my pads sit right on my knees..

 
This is what i ran yesterday.

I thought it was going to be painful and uncomfortable..

Since i switched from plastic plates to foam ones that thing (jpc) has become one of the most comfortable items i've ever worn for airsoft!

Forgive me for the lack of mags, but the rig is supposed to hold 4 midcaps for cqb games, while in the pictures i'm carrying my 3 brand new Lonex flash mags..

I also ditched a lower mesh face mask, I used one of those stretchy neck tubes in multicam, did a good job at protecting my mouth..

Plastic plates in a JPC? That doesn't sound comfortable at all! Glad you swapped them out for foam. Did it not come with any?

The emerson jpc comes with plastic plates, they're hollow so they are not as stiff as real SAPIs but having a piece of plastic pushing on your spine isn't exactly pleasant..

You can fill them with sand and they become as heavy as the real deal iirc..

These foam ones (just noticed they're from emerson as well lol) are thicker but they flex a lot more so the carrier bends and molds to your shape instead of digging into your back. They're also slightly heavier (talking grams) than the plastic ones but you don't really feel the difference once wearing it.
