    What work pants do you use? I have a pair of these http://mammothworkwear.com/work-trousers/knee-pad-trousers/tuff-stuff-extreme-work-trousers-p735.htm witch come out at £35. When I bought them I also bought a cheaper pair of the same brand http://mammothworkwear.com/work-trousers/knee-pad-trousers/tuff-stuff-pro-work-trousers-p1123.htm but they're rubbish, seeing as I wear the dearer ones twice as much as the cheap ones yet the cheaper ones have holes in the knees and others don't evan look worn in yet, the knee area is covered by a material called cordura wich seems just about bullet proof. :ugeek:

    Bought the snickers floor layer trousers last year lasted 6 months and when washed they addy doesnt come off at all.

    Bought "Engelbert Strauss" this time take been bag pads and when washed they come out like new sorry cant find the link but they are around £50 delivered plus when you get the brochure through they must have about 500 pages of work wear gear :D

    Normally im a long leg, (6'3) so asked for that
    They must grow em big from where they are, i feel like a midget wearing them, they about 3inches too long :shock:
    So have to wait till i get em taken up before i can wear em proper :lol:

    I think we got them at the same time Merv(?)

    I've only used the one pair so far. I got them covered in adhesive one day while fitting some vinyl that wouldn't come off in the wash, used some white spirit and managed to get them looking brand new again, quality stuff IMHO. I bought the Motion ones in black, look really good and fit like they should with the help of an elasticated waistband although be warned, the extra long are XXXXXX long lol, and I have long legs.

    So far the best trousers I have bought,If you get them covered in adhesive a couple of washes and they are brand new,when uasing a lot of adhesive or screeding I were my old snickers but forgot and these trousers have cleaned up well,plus they take bean bag pads,loads of pockets but not all in the right position for knifes etc... but can live with that

    I love them, Daz. Best ones I've ever used and don't cut into your waist like Snickers do. They look pretty flashy for workwear.
