I have 2-pr of these 053 Dillon Pros and have been wearing them a fair amount for the last two months. This time I got the proper waist size. (I ordered a waist size 2" too small a few years ago). With the proper waist and length measurements, both SQIUISH pads now fit properly under my knees when kneeling.
I bought 6-pr of SQUISH type pants - 4 of denim, 2 of side pocket - a few years ago. The pads would fit to one side edge under my left knee. I always had to adjust before kneeling. The crotch area gave out in the same area of each denim pair. And the seam going from crotch-to-belt area on the backside of both side pocket pants wore out and split. To their defense, probably a lot if not all of the cause was due to ordering too small of waist size.
I think the 053's here should hold up better since they're much baggier than the previous pairs. I should also note, I like the knee padding. They give enough cushion, and I don't have to carry around a knee pad which frees up my hands.
