knee pads

[certified male]

I'm thinking of taking an old pair of jeans and sewing some foam pads in the inside with a denim cover. that way i'll have soft pads built in for my knees but they won't show. BFY, they are an old over sized pair so they will flex. I'm going to line them under the jean but on top of the foam with plastic. thought i'd share that.

You're not going to be able to get it waterproof enough, after the first time in the washing machine the foam is going to get wet and end up lumpy and disintegrated. Pick up a real pair. The rollerblade ones are what I use, got them at the thrift store for 5.00

Same thing happened to me. However, I just use thin volleyball kneepads under my pants. They aren't very bulky and hardly show.

I use the rollerblade knee pads too. Also found mine in a thrift shop for about a buck. I've tried all kinds and these work the best.

I found a nice pair that were on sale at Home Depot. They're waterproof, comfortable, and have a plastic coating on them protecting my knees from any small items I may kneel on.

For how cheap knee pads can be I feel a person is better off just buying a cheap pair or two.

Me too. AWP brand or something like that. Hard plastic outer and soft gel/foam inner. Something like $9.95 for two.

I re-did two hardwood floors with a hand-sander and shifted them to detector gear when finished.

Never worn them... yet.

Harbor Freight is another good place to find knee pads or nitrite gloves for that matter.
