    Default Protect your knees

    This is a bit of a double edged threat.

    Firstly I would like to make all aware that if your in Snickers knee pad pants then you may wish to consider using Helly Hansen pants as they equal Snickers in quality but are much cheaper. Most my customer who used snickers and then tried HH foundthem much better.

    Secondly I would like feedback on my new site as ive just put it online. all commets welcome:

    Are you refering to these knee pads? I've had those, and while they're comfortable, they lose shape and don't perform as well after just a month or two of daily use. And I got a rash from them, cuz they don't breathe, so my knee's were sweaty all the time. "Bloody knees" got a whole new meaning, hehe...

    I've had my present pair of snickers pads for 6 months plus and they still feel like new, especially after I've washed them, which I do about two or three times a month.

    Just bought some Platinum Knee Pads and they are excellent, been on my knees since Sunday and I can't even tell, they are quite long and this feels really comfortable on your toes too, cosdt me about £27.00 and would completely recommend them to anyone.
