    I've been using Vitrex 'g shok' knee pads for the last few years. Got about 2 years out of a pair and bought another pair a few months back. A bit awkward until you're used to them but now I wouldn't wear anything else.

    I have a pair of "Nailers" knee pads and wouldn't be without them, tried cheaper ones and they're just not up to the job.

    I have them and after many years of trying all the (so called)best ones,i think i have the ones i like,they are expensive but well worth it,the rubi ones were crap,the ones i have tried made me go without any kneepads for the past 2 years.

    These are the babies and on my list for things to buy....

    Alpro Professional Knee Pads


    Alpro knee pads have been designed specialy to prevent and heal knee problems. Ergonomically designed by a German knee surgon to distribute the pressure of your bodyweight.

    These might seem expensive but they really do work. We have been suprised by how many people have told us these knee pads have stopped their knee pain.

    Made from a strange synthetic foam which quickly molds to the shape of your knee. The square face stop the pads from rolling sideways. Elasticated velcro fix straps



    you can get them here.....http://www.tradetiler.com/acatalog/Knee_Pads.html
