I trust the Forcefield armor, but not the straps that hold the knee protectors on my legs. They're badly placed. The top strap cuts into the tendons on the backs of my knees. The lower strap rides up over my calf muscle. Both straps are narrow, and don't distribute enough clamping force to keep the shin guard in place. The elastic in the straps has stretched and lost it's function in less than 6 months of use. Tightening them just gives me leg cramps. I'm no longer convinced the otherwise excellent armor would hold in place during an impact. I think they'd just spin around my legs. Great idea. Lousy method of securing them in place. Expensive lesson.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Can these be worn over jeans, rather than under?
I'd like not to have to take off my pants to remove my knee armor. Can these be worn over jeans?
No. They're form-fitting to your knee. I don't know of any street armor that is worn over the top of your clothing. The straps do unbuckle, and will pull completely through the eyelets, but you'd still have to lower your jeans to do it. A quick trip to the men's room at work is all it takes for me.
