Knee pads - TilersForums.com

I tiled my utility room floor yesterday with no knee pads, which wasn't the best experience I've ever had, so i'd like to find out which are the best knee pads on the market, any ideas please?

Thanks Marc.

Personally I use the alpro ones fron trade tiler, not cheap but definitely worth every penny IMO (5 x 15 hour days on my knees last week, no problem) if you wear trousers that take the insert type then I know a Lot of people recommend redbacks but haven't tried them myself

I wear the Rubi professional knee pads, i have been for many years now they are very comfortable and well priced, i tend to get about 6 months out of a pair

I like the snickers floor layers knee pads, don't know whats inside them but feels like bean bags, it's like kneeling on feathers, last ages too, unless you accidently forget to remove them before putting your strides in the washing machine. I won't do that again....

I use Panoply knee pads in my Panoply Mach 2 corporate trousers. Have done for years. Get about a year out them & very comfortable. Ain't wore strapped knee pads in years. There's nothing more uncomfortable than the strap rubbing & the back of your knees heavy sweating in the summer.

Decent knee pads are really important in our trade. The Alpo type are amazing, i had bad knees and these cleared them up, just not too good when you strap them to your legs as they are bulky, but i just leave them where i am working. The single Alpo pad is great too, it's what i mainly use now. The redback inserts are really comfy.

That's strange.... I use the same one's and they end up like new when they come out of the washing machine ........
