I use knee/shin guards on myself too. But I've noticed knee pads on the sled can keep me get planted on the sled better and help manipulate the sled in steep downhill turns in the trees. Only thing I'm worried about on these is you will have to strip off the velcro on the seat side every time you take off the side panels. And I take off the side panels a lot. On my past sleds I've had to redo the velcro many times on these knee pads because the vecro backing glue comes off. And they were stationary with side panel removal. The skinz mount a little lower than the cat ones, so your knees might be right at the top or go over the skinz ones. Would have to see in in person to know for sure.
