My old ones broke today and I’m looking for what others have been happy with.
My soon to be trashed knee pads have a soft cushioned inner pad area with a hard outer shell. The thing I didn’t like about them is that sand, soil, etc. would lodge between the hard shell and soft inner pad and continually fall out tracking debris around behind me.
Hey Larry, I use the gel type I picked up at Home Depot. They’re fairly comfortable but I hate puting them on because I know I’m about to go into a crawlspace
the straps are for sure the weak part of those and why i don’t use them Larry…I found a great pair of fabric covered gel pads with 3-4"wide velcro straps…at a flooring wholesaler…I’ll try to dig up a name for You but short on time now…jim
Larry… after a few years service there is not a mark left on my knee pads that give me a clue as to their manufacturer, although they are very similar to the patella t wedge pads shown on page 5 in the last column of the link you posted…the major plus of these pads for me has been the extra wide Velcro straps top and bottom that add greatly to the stability while wearing…I have never seen anything like them in the home centers but bought mine at flooring supply wholesaler…sorry I wasn’t more help…jim
