Knee pads

[stusgsx]

Anyone else find the Redbacks knee pad inserts too heavy? I had to tighten my belt as they were pulling my trousers down!

I wear some very fetching braces with my trousers now :lol: Not sure the redbacks have caused the problem, it might be because I'm a bit skinnier :lol:

That's an idea! Maybe I will use a couple of bungee cords

I haven't worn my redbacks for ages now.
I have changed to heavier & better trousers, Dickies, so will have to try them again.

I've got decent Dewalt trousers but it makes no difference they still want to fall down lol

I have always said that it is all done to the type of work trousers orn and that one type may not suit another.
All I can say is they work for me wearing Hexham trousers and Scruffs. I am a size 36 but wear size 38 as I like the extra room when bending down etc, this means I have to wear a belt anyway . I dont notice the weight at all but I think its something you get used to anyway.

Better trousers than what Stef?

Fishnets!!



I wore cheap action trousers from toolstation for a few years & they are dead light weight.
Think the thicker material will make a big difference.

I have a new pair of Rebacks inserts. Yes they are way too heavy and they are here available - Free of Charge if you or anyone else wants them.

I use Snickers Work trousers and either Snickers inserts or Dewalt Inserts which are indentitcal as they have the tabs to lock under the stich in the pockets.


I will sling the Redbacks in the bin by the new year - If you want them, let me know. - I suppose I could use them instead of weights next time I go diving.
