dewalt has good name.......but check these prces out....my god.....

Trousers, Workwear & Safety Items, Hardware & Fixings, from Tool-Up UK

got mine from here.
Dewalt Mens Trousers Waist 34
pricey, but worth the money in my opinion. Really hard wearing, lots of pockets and loops. and pretty comfy knee pads.

Ive always had snickers trousers myself, been looking at them dewalt ones lately though coz need a new pair. I find trousers with knee pad pockets are so much easier than strap on knee pads as they rub behind my knees and get uncomfortable whereas trousers with pads are more convenient.
Never buy cheap when it comes to these types of tools, my mate had to have 2 new knee joints and you wouldnt believe what it cost him!!! Same goes for goggles/glasses, you only get 1 pair of eyes!

The big red ones from t tiler and the straps don,t sit in the backs of the knees, A single strap split into two and sits on top of the calf muscle

Just bought a pair of snickers floor layers.....

I use pipe lagging, cut it into about 2ft lengths, you will need about six pieces and put them all together then wrap them in gaffer tape..works a treat
