Hi,
Been buying snickers 3223 trousers for some time now but been finding the knee material goes fairly quick.
Can anyone recommend any other trousers that may be better?

I wear snickers duratwill. Don't know what the number is I just wear them until they go through then get another pair . I would like to buy cheaper but nothing fits me as well

Time's Ran Out

Up until Sunday never really used knee pads in 45 years!
Bought a pair of gel ones from Lidl for £4.99.
Wearing one as I type.
Don’t know how it happened but right knee is tender and black/blue down leg.
It almost matches the geometric floor I’am on!
Never too old to try something new.
Oh - I wear Asda jeans at £6 a pair.

I gave up on the snickers as they were getting too expensive. I now use the Dewalt equivalent of the Duratwill snickers.

Knee pads, the cheap foam type as I don’t tend to kneel, I go cross legged instead

I wear scruffs from screwfix, find they last a long time. I usually got knee pad inserts in all the time and when doing floors I take them out and wear fentos

Helly Hansen 'Chelsea' construction trousers for me. Material on the knee is 3 layers thick and hard wearing. I use the HH supplied kneepads most of the time, redbacks when its a large floor.

The new floor layers have a kind of elastic crimpolene knee material and mine have lasted brilliantly so far approx 8 months. No holes. Plus they're very light and comfy compared to the old floor layers.
Downside, the pockets tear easily and they're a bit 'spensive.

Had them 6 months and so far so good, all the seams are holding up and you get 10% off if you have a trade card thingy.
