[SML] Thin knee pads?

[Kevin Holly]

My .02 cents: my daughter plays high school volleyball. All the girls are wearing “low profile” knee pads these days. Gone are those huge bulky knee pads from our youth. They are not super expensive especially if you don’t buy a name brand with a swoosh.

I've though about just buying some thin craft foam, and attaching them by perhaps sewing on a pocket to hold the foam.  But, I though I would ask here if there are any commercial products already out there that might be comparable.
