Need new shin guards

Question
Mister B
So my Diamond Featherweights have served me well, but are a little short and have a cracked knee plate. So it's time to upgrade. I know the Force 3's are all the rage, but I have some concerns about the knee straps. I really liked that the diamonds didn't have a knees strap, as I can get pretty sweaty. I was a runner and did some bike racing in my younger days so I have fairly large quads and calves.
Can I wear the F3's with the top strap very loose? Any other models to look at? I do like the plastic clips but I can work around that. I also loved that the Diamonds were so light, it didn't feel like you were wearing them.
I could also take up Muy Thai and kick trees with my shins to build them up.

I mean, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, and you do you, and all of that, but: ........ you could wear pants, Max.

I wish it would go higher, my forearms have been targets for foul balls this season.
