lol. God man Softus. I've bookmarked that page and will pick up a pair before I next get down on my knees (steady.....) £30 - sounds a bit dear but if it helps stop the burn then they're a bargain.
EDIT: How many straps do they have at the back? - I find that the straps cause me some agro around the back of my knees too. Have you tried knee pads built into trousers?

I meant to add - don't buy them online. All the big B&Qs sell them for only £19.99. If you don't have a big one nearby then let me know and I'll send you as many pairs as you want.

EDIT: How many straps do they have at the back?

One - quite a comfy and soft strap.

I find that the straps cause me some agro around the back of my knees too.

Inferior pads have chafed a bit, but these never have. The width of strap is 4" at one end and 2" at the other - it tapers down to the buckle that has a 'quick release' arrangement.

Have you tried knee pads built into trousers?

No, although I'm tempted, but I get through so many pairs of trousers that this option would be a lot more expensive (for decent keks such as Snickers).

There's only one design fault, which is a weak point on the plastic buckle. Knowing this I'm gentle when tightening them up, but a chippie friend couldn't cope with being that gentle and broke the buckle on his. I've never broken any of mine.

I could a bleedin' advert for these.

I have and they are ok for a couple of hours but then tend to slide to the side leaving you kneeling on the floor
