Title: Kneepads
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Mon, 09 January 2017, 18:14:39: Personally I like these.

One drawback though, is after you've been kneeling for a while the straps can get a bit bothersome on the back of your knee.

Or trousers with incorporated pads.

If you are in the same place and keeling down for ages,

If you are doing that many, you should probably take a break and walk around for a minute after about every third one.

If only to wash your mouth out

Post by: xtrafrood on Wed, 11 January 2017, 01:20:09: I've rested my knees on the edges of attic/crawl space truss connectors on a few occasions. Prob have dents in my kneecaps to prove it lol. Those would have helped! Gel's good it'll grip where other kneepads won't. I'd rather something dig into the gel then slip out and possibly tear something that shouldn't be torn :confused:

I only use the lower straps. They aren't quite as secure that way but it significantly reduces the discomfort at the back side if the knee.
