Their pants didn't last 400 weeks either .... they had 50 blokes with 4 pairs each over 2 years,,, I buy, roughly, two pairs of Aldi ones a year so by my testing - it is exactly the same ratio but for half the cost - win win .

Those cheap dickies and other cheap work trousers are rubbish, I wear dickies Eisenhower work trousers, worth the extra money

I have the snickers floor layer? ones, supposed to have a bit of Kevlar in the knee section/pocket part.
Expensive but worth it. Come with big thick comfy knee pads, which go inside each leg.
Have wore them over two years and not a mark on them, ok ok OK maybe a tube of silicone but no wear and tear.
I also do a lot of wooden floors so spend a fair bit of time on my knees, which was I paid the money for them.

I bought those ones because of the Kevlar knee's, went though them in under 2 month's, worst buy ever.

That's like 4 months of everyone else's working hours!

Snickers floorlayers aren't kevlar knees - it's just cordura with a bit of kevlar in the mix and it doesn't last long if you're dragging your knees around on rough concrete!
If I'd gone through a pair in 8 weeks I'd be sending them back... Mine normally last a year or so - 2 pairs on rotation.

(Still the best knee pads / trouser combo though)

But I'm from West Belfast, I only bought them for the Kevlar in the knee section in case I got knee capped lol

Yup if I remember there's about one percent or less of Kevlar in them, bit of a gimmick tbh

Why does your location make a difference ?

yes, was 2 months laying floors. But if I was fixing wall tiles for 2 years to I would be happy with them as well
