    Default Anyone use these kneepads?

    I was all set to pull the pin on a pair of Proknee pads but when doing a search on here a link sent me to this pair: TommyCo : GEL All Terrain Eliminator [EL777] -I can get them to me for 75€. Has anyone got any experience of using them? Comfort, durability, etc.

    My only concern with the Proknee (apart from the huge price of 200€ to me here in France), was with being able to wear them all day whilst getting up and around and not just down on the floor.

    I have tried various pads and cannot get on with the straps behind the knee. Also I cannot wear the trouser insert types as here we only wear trousers for 4 months of the year.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    ive got the gel terrain 707 pads.the ones that strap round the knee.obviously they will sit different to the ones youre looking at but i find them pretty well built and comfy..They were on offer in b&q for £15 so i bought two pairs .Im still on the first pair and still find them in good shape after 5 months.personally i cant see the other ones being that comfy to walk round in ,but i could be wrong

    Ive used the gel terrain for years. I pick them up cheap whenever ive been in america, but as above - seen them on offer in b and q. Really good knee pads and very comfortable.

    I have used a pair of Proknees for several yrs, no complaints very comfortable on the floor. Getting up and down without any problems same with stairs. They are worth the $'s in my opinion.

    I use snickers flooring knee pads for the last 2 years. They stay in
    the knee pockets on my trousers, and are just like new when they come out of washing machine.
