I do a lot of short-distance local riding, where I want to be able to function at the other end without having to slosh around in riding pants or spend forever undressing and storing gear. I wear a pair of kevlar jeans most of the time, and when I want to head out, these slip on underneath or on top without a lot of fuss. If I stop somewhere, I can walk around for a while without these feeling terribly uncomfortable. They're noticeable, but not bad to walk in, and if I'm staying anywhere for long, they're easy to pop off and stick in a bag.
As a new and fairly casual rider, I gravitate towards cheap gear, so the build quality on these really impressed me. They fit well and feel incredibly sturdy and protective. I expect they will be where they need to be and protect my knees/shins if something bad happens. Now looking into other armor in this line...
