Knee-pads !!

[area tiling]

After trying Alpro , redbacks and almost everything else , I've finally found a pair I like, very comfortable, washable and keep their shape well due to the beads! You should Also try the Alpro Mat! http://www.snickersdirect.co.uk/sni....html?osCsid=31b250a8bdb61bfd250de16191a53ed8

That's a good price for those, they are £30+vat at my local Arco.

right time for me to buy a few pairs of knee pads ,i only buy quality pads ! so what would you pro's recommend ?? ,as we tend to be in them a lot of our lives i would like some with washable liners as i find i sweat at my knees and they end-up stinking .......... thanks for any replies .

Morning Dave.

I use the Alpro ones as you probs know , but a question for you.. do you prefer knee pads you attach or ones for trouser inserts.?

 

[Peter]

Have used Alpros for about 3 years.

Got Redbacks a year ago and found them very uncomfortable at the time. Tried them again for a full week this month in Snickers floorlayer trousers and they still weren't a patch on the Alpros.

Maybe I just got a bad pair but I may as well put two bits of 18mm ply in my trouser knees.

these are heavy, but ive tried all sorts, they last a long time & comfortable when you get used to them.

If Alpro could only make a pair that would insert into work trousers , then I think we'd all be onto a winner !

Tried most including redbacks, didnt get on with them, like miss tiler, keep slipping off them, also in trouser type trousers get very messy when grouting, have used Rubi professional air pads for years now, though they do seem, to have a problem with splitting at moment, Rubi have reccognised this and replaced a couple of pairs for me, next best are the alpro

I've tried those a couple of times and didn't really rate them. I killed one pair within a week doing a large floor, they went flat and never regained shape again!!

I am not a fan of knee pads (generally) ....I have spent fortunes on them......I prefer a "prayer mat":



that thing that has a union jack on it!!!!!.........no loss of circulation.....or them slipping etc......but I have spoke to @redbackskneepad tonight.......we will see?

got to be worth a go!

all the best

Get some redbacks in your life Lee, I promise you'll never look back. I had a torn ligament in March and they have undoubtedly helped the recovery process, I can get back to my trampolining again:lol:

 

[Mr Tiler]

Will have to try a better type... my £2.50 hooties kneepads are not doing me any justice to say the least throbbin so bad i can feel my pulse in me kness lol

 

[Plumbing Tiler]

Redbacks all the way for me!, but, it does have to be said, they are heavy but I think worth it for the level of protection they give, I have heard good things about the Snickers Floorlayers ones but not tried them myself.....

I've had mines since dec 2012 mate and their still going strong, maybe you got a bad set, but hey ho each to their own!

I love my redbacks, just wish I'd started wearing them 30 years ago!. DPF Dave, you usually wear trackie bottoms though don't you? Do redback do the strap versions?

I think I heard they were looking at having straps but heard no more since.
