Best knee pads

[solutions]

well with this warm weather the weight of the redback in pocket pulls the unit below the knee then when going up steps several times now its hooked under the knee and I have gone flying. I think they are more suited to top loading trousers . mine are bottom and they keep ripping the Velcro open

Yeah they need improvement. The padding and concept of the protective material is great but the fit and positioning needs work.

Any updates on knee pads?

Dewalt £7.99 inserts for me at the moment no complaints the only trouble I find with all knee pads is you have to put them in the right place as you kneel down

i use these snickers kneepads Snickers Non-Slip Knee Pads Pair | NoLinkingToThis

there not the cheapest, but i have'nt found anything better.
the redbacks shown above are also good kneepads, but i found them a shade on the heavy side.

I had these and really liked them but a wayward blow lamp put paid to them melted small hole so polystyrene balls leaked

Good reports on the red back ones

Red backs okay but too heavy & bulky

Snickers carpet layer ones comfy but too bulky & cause the trousers to cut into the back of your legs!

I don't wear knee pads anymore & Use kneeling mats where I'm working!

Still using redbacks dont even notice the weight now

Just seen an advert in a magazine red backs can be obtained with a strap for wearing with shorts

Got redbacks, find them good, but you really need top loading knne pouches on your trousers to use them
