What brand and type of knee pads do you all use?

Are you buying expensive or cheap?

What problems do you have with them?

Cheers

Neil

Gel Pads that i got after completing my course at NETT, they are probably good pads but i have very small skinny legs so they keep falling off i padded them out to fit but now the velcro just keeps coming undone, it is becoming a real pain does anyone have any ideas!!
 
£50 pair from trade tiler chunky but worth their weight in gold, would not buy cheap anymore I need to start looking after my knee's I'm 51 and abused safety when I was younger, so buy the best you can afford

The one's I was talking about have a single thick strap and don't dig into the back of your knee's, The only kneepad's I have ever worn that don't.
 
alpro professional knee pads,

designed by a german knee surgeon...they look bulky but they are light and superb £45 from a website online, got mine for free as part of an order, cant speak highly enough about them ;0)

I've got Dewalt trousers and use the "inserted" knee pads (£5); they work great apart from a small amount of twisting. Knees feel fine but my legs get sweaty so need to find a good alternative for when I wear shorts - any suggestions?
 
Used to wear Makita 2 strap ones, brilliant and only about £15. Now have a pair of Rubi and they im afraid they dig like mad and not even wide enough for my patella!
 
Got Two Pairs Of Gel Filled Knee Pads But Both Dig Into The Backs Of My Chubby legs:lol: :lol:


Seen a box of TAMPAX in the back of bri's van-best on the market.....if you kneel on a sharp bit of broken porcelain they're very blood absorbent .
