Indeed

You get used to it once you break in the pants it isn’t so bad. But, the protection it offers is worth the slight feeling of slight restriction.  
My pants feel a little undersized even though I ordered a size bigger from A\*

Totally worth wearing you never know what could happen. _Old picture, I have since scuffed up my suit_:lol
