    After a bit if advice on knee pads, I've used near enough all you can think of but got on really well with the big red doctor ones. My only problem with them is the straps which seemed to last for a couple of months at a time and I begrudge paying £15 a go for a new set. So basically what's everyone else get on with the most?

    Don't matter Lol

    I've got loads of different Pads

    Redbacks are to heavy & don't fit the kneepockets properly Ive told them this & they said there working on a new design so Ive volunteered to test them Lol

    Normall snicker pads are OK but wear down to quick

    Beanbags are very cosy but its s nightmare when they burst in the washer

    Now using snickers xtr pads which I find are the best of both worlds they stay in position & a very tuff but cosy !

    Bit of underlay stuffed in the knee pockets does the trick !

    Same here, the Redbacks are great but I don't think I'll be buying Apache trousers in future for that very reason. And all my change falls out of the pockets when I get in the van.

    Jesus ! I need a set for in the house, as well as at work.
    I can`t kneel down without a pair on !

    Must be old skool, cos I can`t get on with those bloody snickers and the like. I find them so bulky, and un-comfortable.
    I normally wear a pair of Tesco jeans for £3 or the £2 if I can find em, them the rubber Fballs pads, with 2 layers of Cloud9 contract.
    Nice and soft for crawling around.
    And, I don`t loose my change every time I get in the van.
