Knee pads

[ed-ectrician]

I have knee pads in my work trousers but knees still give me jip after being on them all day putting in power circuits etc. Some of it is needing to lose a stone or two but i'm only 28 and plan to do this for a while longer!! Anyone know of really good knee pads you wear over your trousers?!

A mate of mine has a thick cushion he takes everywhere for kneeling on.

There's some gel filled ones that aren't too bad. Got mine in Trago (don't ask, it's hell on earth) and they've lasted a while. The ones in the trouser knee pouch type end up as shin pads for me.

you can buy a knee pad for a fiver from the big Orange shed

kneel on cushion or turn over as a stool. handles make it easy to get up after kneeling for ages.

Don't get strap on knee pads. Annoying as hell + make you sweaty.

Haha...but then you'll be asking for recommendations for ear defenders once you're sick to death of office speak!

I hate the strap on sort, they make the back of my knees sweat and the straps rub a raw patch.
