Does anybody have any recommendation for pads that can be worn under jeans and a long sleeve shirt? Something that won't rub the backs of the knees and inner elbow and make for an uncomfortable time.
 
Ordered a set of the leatt reaflex ultralites (knees and elbows) from their MD sale for this reason. The sale is still going on, pads haven't shipped yet so I don't have a review or anything but my 7IDP pads are a bit too much for the majority of my rides and these seemed to fit the bill and were on sale
 
I wear Leatt Airflex Pro elbow pads under my long sleeve shirt all the time (almost every ride, for the last 6 years), and I don't even notice them. Great piece of kit.

I've not tried to wear jeans while riding, but my 7IDP Sam Hill pads caused chafing on longer rides with long pants. So I tried the Rapha Trail pads, and I've been really happy with those. They're lower profile, and don't chafe/bunch up while wearing my Endura Spray pants.
