I had a pair of Knee pads on yesterday for almost 12 hours and they were bloomin uncomfortable

They were Gel knee pads and were fastened by a single elasticated velcro band. They looked good but after a few hours they were very uncomfortable.

I must get some trousers with built in knee pads!

Jeez, 12 hours is a long time for grovelling, Chez!..

I have tried quiet a few kneepads, and can't get on with any of them.......usually the velcro straps that hurt after a while on them all.

Got a foam gardeners slap thingy that just get kicked about where ever I need it.

Starting a large floor tomorrow and will be on knees most of the week

I have the rubber kneepads with velcro straps. This time round doing the floor, didn't even bother putting them on, so uncomfortable!

Anyone tried the Trousers with the kneepad inserts?

Hoovie,

I like the Ohio trousers, might get a pair of those

worn the kneepads that go in the trousers for years only time i take them out is when trousers go in the wash other thing is there so warm you wouldn't know if you were kneeling on a cold floor

i have use helly hanson york trousers for a few years now, very good indead, the knee pads are great

i have been wearing the built in knee pads for a couple of years. wish i had done it years ago.
those seperate pads are a killer on the back of the legs.
doesnt matter what i am doing as you never know when you have to kneel down.
twice i have kneeled on screws and burst the fluid bag surroundidng my knee swelling it right up.
its a no brainer!

I dont know what it worse, wearing those awful knee pads with the velcro straps that cut into the back of your legs.
Or the pain on your knees if you dont wear them.

The prices are pretty good as well

even got ladies ones, Bobbie

trousers with built in knee pads are the way forward, once you have worn some you will never waste your time velcroing crap round your legs ever again. i wear mine every day, i have the jobman ones, they are very comfy, good quality and a good price at about £32 a pair with the pads.

Had a quick look, but couldnt see any bib and brace.

When you say with the knee pads already in with the knees, do you mean there is actual thick knee pads?

cause the ones I wear, have a sort of padded bit at the knees, but it still hurts like hell when I'm on my knees too long.

BD, proper trousers have pockets in the knees which you slide separate knee pads into. they provide plenty of comfort, and are designed to be removed for washing etc.

Thanks for the explaination Owen.

Let me get this right, you buy these trousers, and you can buy the pads seperatly, and then you place then in the knees?, wont they slide, and move about?

Or does the actual trousers come with the actual pads in place?

having a blonde moment, even though I am not blonde.
