I could never get on with kneepads (the velcro strap seemed to hate me !).
So I was introduced to these and now always use when I'm kneeling down on the ground -
I use pads which go into my trousers unless its really wet, then I use the external ones. I have nailers and the assistant has a cheaper pair with full hard face
+1 for trouser knee pads, I use Dickies ones which do the job well. I just leave them in all the time, saves a trip to the van !
I am a Snickers man & have the knee pads in my trousers & shorts permanently. They are an absolute godsend. I have written to Snickers to say that we need a gardeners trouser with a waterproof outer to the knee pocket. I might even attach some waterproof fabric myself.
Those knee pads look good. I currently use two thick kneeling pads tied together. I also use a bench that also functions as a kneeling pad. The "legs" of the folding bench support my weight when getting up.
I could never get on with carrying something around. I find that having to drag gear around a garden is a problem when gardening quickly. I have adapted wheelie bins with tool carriers & I have a dog lead clip on my belt to carry a second Wolf tool head. I kneel all the time - saves the back. Good trousers with high quality knee pads may seem expensive but they are so worth it.
