kps1979 1,308 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I've got a few pair of work trousers that you can slide knee pads in the knee pockets, like a carpet fitters trousers, there not bulky like the knee pads you strap around, and don't make the back of knee sweat, screwfix sell them quite cheap 3 Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I use the Rolson Gel knee pads (part number 82711) for doing fresh cut hedges and crawling round on all fours under hedges or rough land. Quote Link to post

bumpy22 414 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 always wear them as said earlier a bit of a pain when they slip or twist. but to stop thorns and brambles going through your knees in the bottom of our lovely somerset hedgerows they are a all important bit of kit. I also use the trousers at work with the pads that slide up and as said earlier thease are excellent. Quote Link to post

Stop being a fanny ha ha. We use some at work which are pretty good but after a few hours the straps start to get a bit tight. And with them on you look like a teenage mutant Ninja turtle ha ha 1 Quote Link to post
