Which knee pads

[poynton phil]

Going to get some new kneepads from TT cant decide whether to go for the alpro or platinum, could anybody who has either of these let me know what they think of them? any advice will be appreciated, thanks

I recently bought the Alpro pads, They are VERY comfy when you are down on the floor but tend to move around and slide down when walking around. Personally I wouldnt buy them again, I would either go for the platinum or the Alpro kneeling pad which is very good.
I think I tried some of the Platinum ones a while back if they were the same as Chrisroe had. They seemed more likely to stay in place on your legs and were not too high as are the alpro pads.

About £68 get shorter size the longer ones get in the way a bit. well for me they do cos i'm nearly always surrounded by small triangles etc.

I've got the Alpro ones, extremely hard wearing and so comfy!!

When doing floors I normally wear boots which save my toes curling and the alpro knee pads keep me really comfy

I can spend all day in them

go for the alpros ,they are by far the best knee pad ever , use to get knee pain all the time but not anymore

Personally I like my bosch inserts in my bosch work pants, I can't bide straps round the back of my knees. Altho' I'm sure knee pads have come a long way since I last used them, (probably 15 years ago now!)

 

[poynton phil]

Decided to go for the alpro, and guess what... OUT OF STOCK
