    i dont think they'd beat the alpro ones from tradetiler,i have mine over 2 years now ans still love them. well scuffed mind you and the velcro is not gripping like it used to.But they only tighten below you knee so very comfortable and not much more pricewise either!

    Knee pads with straps, Thats like a tight fitting bra, ( not that I would know) uncomfortable, try snickers gel pads that fit into your trousers, real comfy.

    Apparently the alpro are designed by some german doctor,i'd believe that too.If any of you know someone with a pair ask to try them on and kneel down! you would not believe it,very comfortable ! the only problem i have with them is the fact that i stay on my knees too much! i get up stiff a few times lately but no sore knees at all ! money WELL spent and i even have a mate who is about 17stone and he wears them too,he's never off his knees either,

    Think I might give these Alpro jobbies a whirl - everyone who's bought them, seems convinced by them Are they an acquired taste though??

    Having a valcro strap that dos'nt dig into the back of the knee, not cheap but well worth the money IMO.

    Got some gel ones in the van and thats where they stay
