Knee pad inserts - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

I've always used the trouser insert type knee pads, but I'm fed up of them being squashed in the corners, does anyone know of any that aren't foam? Maybe a gel or alike?

Snickers floorlayers. Beaded polystyrene. Light as feathers, don't sweat, dead comfy and wash in the machine to come back like new.
You don't necessarily need the floor layers pants, just decent sized knee pockets.
There's nothing better in my experience.

Get some strap on knee pads I use rubi for general stuff and some alpro for times if I'm kneeling a lot like big floors

Red back for me too, really supportive, last ages and can go through the wash.

They do scrub through pretty quickly if you're on rough concrete floors like most of us are. I get about 10 months out of mine, 2 pairs on rotation.
I just hate strap ons, so i put up with it.
I also save old pairs and superglue patches into any knee holes. From the inside, they look ok and it works well.

Blaklader are good. External pockets and they take the floorlayers pads.

I used to use snickers bean bag pads they were OK but if trousers wear through it doesn't take much before you got polystyrene beads everywhere . I know use the snickers next most expensive one don't know what they are called but they are black with an orange bit where your knee goes they are ok .
