Best pants material for Ultimate Wheels?

Hello, assuming I can get my UW fixed, what is the recommended leg wear?
All I had today were Roach pads, (even though I knew they snagged the
wheel, it was either that or skin)

What does everyone wear as UW pants? Recommended material?

While I'm learning to ride the UW I'm using hard plastic soccer shin
guards. I turn them so they cover the inside of my leg rather than the
front of my shin. The hard plastic lets the wheel slide and it also
gives good protection for the sides of my shins. I was developing quite
a sore spot on my shins from practicing, it wasn't from the rubbing but
rather the wheel slapping and leaning in to my shins.

Once my UW technique improves I will hopefully get to use some less
bulky protection. The soccer pads are too bulky.

You do have silicone spray lubricant? Spray the side of the tire and
your soccer pads and the wheel will slide through nicely.
