Blown open Gauntlet and Upside down knees!

[Peregrinus]

The cupped side goes up to cover the knee in case the knee impacts anything.

These do that regardless of orientation, strapped around the top of the calf with the round part projecting up, or strapped around the bottom of your thigh with the round part projecting down. Main differences are comfort and the fact that worn "upside-down" like this, one can kneel. Worn "correctly", the knees tend to get in the way of that.

Exactly. This is what I was trying to say. You can kneel if they are upside down. That's why I think they were designed to be wore the other way. It's a question of function in my mind.
