Interesting topic, with a few interesting answers.

 

Over the years I've tried all sorts. I do have some 'strap on' knee pads (ooh, matron), but I fecking hate the things.

 

Like Phil, most of the time I just wear waterproof leggings, but they really aren't enough when you are putting in hundreds of traps. I quite like the idea of some waterproof trousers with built in pads.

I've just found some on deerhunter web site there called almati trousers. I'll let you know if they're any good.

I use firemans trousers, there gortex with reinforced knees have braces built in so keep your lower back warm, & there designed to be worn with boots so not to long that they drag on the floor

I am currently on the sick with a knee infection[celuligtous] second time in 3 years.

Cause constantly kneeling when doing daily work small cut or abrasion on the knee and ingress of dirt.

 

To say it is painful is an understatement and totally impossible to work with.

 

We used to use arco trousers with knee pads after previous problem but dispensed with them because they look washed out very quickly.

 

Going back to Arco trousers rather look a little untidy than get a re-occurrence.

 

Where do you get the firemen's trousers from?
