    THE BIG RED KNEED PADS
    Been looking for some medical knee pads.
    Does anyone know where I can get some ? Im in sheffield area. Seen some on eBay for £80 onwards. Going to try them in replacement of my snickers as they are hurting my knees! Has anyone tried them?
    Thanks

    Sweeney Todd sell them mate. About £60-£70 I think. I have them. Great knee pads, but they feel weird to wear at first cause they are that big. I'm using the snickers now but will wear them in summer when I have my shorts on.

    Bought a pair of these last summer after having painful knees I think thy we're about £75. Seemed a bit steep at the time but its cheaper than missing work. Still got loads of life in them after that time and that's with sliding around on Altro every day. Take a bit of getting to know as you kneel slightly higher than normal but they are brilliant. No more bad knees I will defiantly buy another pair when they wear ouy

    Take it from me te best knee pads are the matrix honeycomb pads, absolute mustard an a bargain at a score, had mine for a year and still going strong, had bad left knee but have had no problems since I made the switch, janser matrix from cfs £18 in camberley.

    Yeah I use matrix too. Really good, only problem is when wearing them in inserts of snickers trousers they are more like shin pads than knee pads!

    I've been using the good snickers ones for years going through about three to four pairs a year. I'm finding they're only fully effective for a few weeks from new and because they're inserts they wander around a bit and I'm having some problems. I think the problem is with lvt we tend to use kneepads like shoes and walk around on our knees. I've ordered a pair of medicals and will report back. If I hate them I can blame Daz :D

    I've had just about every knee pad. I wouldn't use anything other than medical knees pads now. They're the best

    No mate straps are ok. Think its just cause they are big knee pads.
