Who uses them?

Yes very nice but some say they are too heavy...I havent found that but I am a big bloke.

How do they rate compared to Alpros? The video is a bit silly.

Alpros fit over the trousers and Redbacks fit in knee pockets. I found both comfy but prefer the Redbacks due to not liking the straps on the Alpros.

Don't sell 'em here but read all the praise on here and got my Mum to get some and bring them over when she visited, like them a lot, not using them at the mo, don't fit in my "Pirate" summer work trousers. All my mates liked them so I got in touch direct with the company and got a damn good deal on 10 pairs that are now sitting in my mums house and I'll be back home in July so I'll bring them back here and double my money on them.

Best knee pads ever, bit heavy but you you get used to them. Been wearing them for a year and they still look and feel brand new. Cheers, Tradetiler.

I'v been using these for about 1 1/2 yrs now, after trying just about every knee pad on the market at a cost of £100's, the redback is not only cheap, £14 - 15 a time, but is very comfy.

I use both Alpros and Redbacks.
It depends on the job though.
I get really hot (and grumpy,)in the summer, so tend to wear shorts, messy on the knee's but i don't mind. So usually i use a messy alpro pad for laying tiles, and a lovely clean one for delicate surfaces when grouting and sealing.
In winter i wear trousers with redback inserts and they're fab, i don't notice the weight as i know they are protecting my knees and I quite often use Redbacks for running around patching, etc plus an alpro pad, for work where you are in one spot for a while, really comfy!!!
On big floors i switch to the Alpro knee pads, those really work if your gonna be on you knees most of the day. I never use the straps, i just leave them where i'm working, as the straps are uncomfortable.
