Knee pads - Tile Advice

[stusgsx]

Anyone else find the Redbacks knee pad inserts too heavy? I had to tighten my belt as they were pulling my trousers down!

I wear some very fetching braces with my trousers now :lol: Not sure the redbacks have caused the problem, it might be because I'm a bit skinnier :lol:

 

[stusgsx]

That's an idea! Maybe I will use a couple of bungee cords

I haven't worn my redbacks for ages now.
I have changed to heavier & better trousers, Dickies, so will have to try them again.

I've got decent Dewalt trousers but it makes no difference they still want to fall down lol

I have always said that it is all done to the type of work trousers orn and that one type may not suit another.
All I can say is they work for me wearing Hexham trousers and Scruffs. I am a size 36 but wear size 38 as I like the extra room when bending down etc, this means I have to wear a belt anyway . I dont notice the weight at all but I think its something you get used to anyway.

Fishnets!!



I wore cheap action trousers from toolstation for a few years & they are dead light weight.
Think the thicker material will make a big difference.

I have a new pair of Rebacks inserts. Yes they are way too heavy and they are here available - Free of Charge if you or anyone else wants them.

I use Snickers Work trousers and either Snickers inserts or Dewalt Inserts which are indentitcal as they have the tabs to lock under the stich in the pockets.


I will sling the Redbacks in the bin by the new year - If you want them, let me know. - I suppose I could use them instead of weights next time I go diving.

I will take them, I love em !

 

[stusgsx]

Haha Richard! Glad you agree!

Anyone use the super dooper Rubi pads that strap on? They are probably the only ones I haven't bought yet!

 

[judge]

Ive had rubi gel pads that strap on with removable fronts to them.I found the top strap that goes above the knee to be quite uncomfortable so just use the lower strap which sits above the calf muscle.Being a sigma man myself i must admit they are a comfy pair of pads though:smilewinkgrin:
