Hi, I kneel down a lot for work and am looking for some comfortable knee pad trousers.

I got some from Screwfix but they aren’t very comfy, the knee pads are too low and the pants tend to fall down leading to a bit builders bum.

Can anyone recommend some comfortable ones please?
 
I wear loop braces. Just at work. They hook on belt loops so no clips as they come off. I prefer X braces type but you can get Y type depending on trousers loop position at back.
You need to keep them up and knee pads in correct position.
I have loads hanging from trousers and they don't budge. No problem with knee pads.

If you don't like that Idea you need to tighten belt. I can't do that. Lad at work has belt so tight his face goes red but would never wear braces.


 
Mine are provided FOC from my employer. We use Travis Perkins, who use RokWear - no complaints from me.
 
I get mine from aldi. Not the thin £9.99 ones, but the thick £15-£20 ones that come out every now and again. They are thick comfortable and have the Cordura reinforcement patches.

Importantly, the knee pockets are bottom fed, so the pads don't creep out the top. Look for this above all, or perhaps side fed.

Comfort is subjective, as will be whether your waist holds them up! But try an elasticated belt from Snickers or similar.
 
I have the same problem i can never get trousers to fit me properly.....probably because im so fit and ripped :p

But scruffs are the best I can get.

The Site work trousers I got from SF have good deep pockets that cover the knee when kneeling
 
Suggest you look at Snickers - their range is vast and the choice of sizes unmatched.

Not cheap but nor is a week or a month off work with knee pain.
 
Thanks for your help, I got some maverick ones for around £16 which aren’t bad but the knee pads are a bit low.

I have come accross these portwest ones that are cotton and have adjustable leg length and kneepad height which sounds really good.
They aren’t available through well known retailers though for some reason.

The Portwest PW347 Cotton Work Holster Trouser is made from the highest quality cotton, this contemporary style offers exceptional all day comfort. Hardwearing, functional and packed full of features including; top loading pre-shaped knee pad pockets, triple stitched seams, crotch gusset to reduce stress and prevent seam failure, adjustable leg length and a side leg cargo pocket. Strong Oxford fabric is positioned in key abrasion areas to offer extra durability.

Have a look on Amazon. We used to have Portwest iirc when a council and we’re decent pants.
