well if you're like me, prob not!, my quest for the perfect knee pad continues.
I spend an absolute fortune on the things striving to find one that is lightweight, comfortable, protective and one I don't roll off of when I shift my center of gravity when picking up large formats!
I also tend to walk on my knees a fair bit too, can't be bothered to stand up, kneel down and so it goes on, just easier to walk on my knees!
I am more fortunate than a lot of guys on here who suffer terribly, whether it's because I'm just lucky or whether it's because I've worn them EVERYDAY since I first started I'm not really sure, I just thank my lucky stars they're in good shape!
So I came across these last week, kneepads by Toughbuilt, in a little store on the Brompton Road.
Kool thing about these I think is that they have interchangeable covers!
I've certainly never seen them before, maybe you have?
So I got the basic kneepad last week and ordered the stabiliser set to go with them, they took a week to arrive.
The basic Gel pads are actually quite good, they're thick, well padded and comfortable. They have a unique little feature I've not seen before and that is that they have an extra strap on the front to adjust the fit around the knee, tightens it up if u will, so that it hugs the knee. They're ergonomically shaped so there's a left and right knee fit.
On the down side for me personally they have a central Velcro strap to fasten them, I much prefer top and bottom straps, I cut the top strap off and just have the bottom one fastened I feel it offers more movement.
So couple days ago I received the stabiliser shell that very firmly snaps on to the front, there's no way they're coming off accidentally!
Snapped them on with the aid of a pair of adjustable pliers, very tight fit!
First thing I noticed was it did make them quite heavy to wear when walking around but I think that's an affordable sacrifice to make when u actually kneel down in them. There is NO way on gods earth u'll ever fall off these! haha and even lifting and stretching to put down a piece of 60x60x20 stone I felt very secure and in no way did I think I was going to topple over.
As I'm working on very uneven concrete at the moment which can be tough on your knees I feel that actually they're a good buy!
They're becoming more comfortable with every day that passes so I'm hoping within a week or two they'll feel part of me, which to me is important.
Just thought u'd might like to know! 🙂
