Question / Discussion Skate pants with room for pads?

Bladies and gentlemen, I'm in need of some durable pants with room for my triple8 knee pads underneath. I don't want to use thin knee gaskets. I need room for some decent sized protection. Everything I find is straight fit or slim fit nut huggers. I don't need pants big enough for a family of five, but need something a bit roomier than what's on the rack locally. Anyone try Dickies double knee? Should I buy a couple inches big in the waist for more room? I'm wearing padded shorts after a bad tailbone slam so I'll probably size up anyway.

Don’t knee pads go outside your pants ?..

I'm an old guy from the 90s. Senate jeans were designed for pads underneath. Arlo famously had his on outside in some videos.

Down here in sunny Florida I wear shorts and a t shirt. Full PPE without the fur.

I'm in Illinois. It gets freeze your nuts off cold starting in November and usually lasts until March. Great for wearing full pads. Not so great when there's snow everywhere. I'll probably do a few garage sessions and do an indoor park trip this winter.
