Knee pads?

[wisewood]

I'm wearing out the knees on my waipoua trousers from regularly kneeling down while carving. They have kevlar knees but will need patching soon or even replacing.

Does anyone use knee pads? and if so which ones ?

If I end up replacing trousers which have best wear resistance?

 

Thanks,

Si

I've been using these for years for various projects, very comfortable too. Until some scrote pinched them along with other things recently .

Cheers Ian, they look pretty good. Never worn pads before so am a bit wary of comfort and maneuverability, but if it saves me spending out on more trousers it's got to be worth a try.

Sorry to hear you've been robbed bud.

You can get cheaper ones which are thick rubber which last longer but i found uncomfortable,

Employ someone to kneel down for you. 😂

 

There are also other types of websites that promote such acts, apparently. 😜

I'm all for thinking outside the box but I reckon knee pads would be the safest and cheapest option
