I spent 80 bucks for a pair of those and after using them the first time I threw em in the back of my tool chest where they remain today. For one thing, they’re too damn heavy. After you put them on they slowly begin to creep down your leg. Then you cinch em up tighter and after a short while your knees begin to sweat, then they begin to itch. And then they still slide down your leg. Then the cussin’ begins.
I found a pair of pads in a safety supply store that are designed to fit into the space between the knee reinforcement and the britches of a pair of carhart overalls. It’s a little bit hard to get em in, you have to roll em up and stuff them into the little two inch slot at the bottom of the kneepad. Then they unfold. They are quite comfortable and no more itchy knees! ahh… blessed relief!! I can’t remember the name of the store but its in portland ore.

Joe, bought a pair for my son who is a finish carpenter,he too was complaining about the knees. After reading an article on knee protection it sounded to me like patella-t offered the best protection. My son wont work without them,no more sore knees. Your probably are aware that they come in two or three different styles depending on your purpose.
Good Luck Bill
*OK, My question about Patella T's are answered, 50% says junk and 50% says wonderful. Now how about Pro-Knee's at $163.00?

Wondering if anyone could share any thoughts or experiences relative to "Patella-T" kneepads by Fluid Forms, Inc. These 62 year old knees need all the help I can give them. Thanks-Joe

After several knee surgeries over four years I have tried just about every knee pad avalible. I fininally bit the bullet 6 months ago and bought the Pro Knees. They are by far the best knee pads I have ever had. When kneeling most of your body's weight is shifted to your shin and off your knees, relieving all the pressure on your knees. I wish I bought these years ago before I wrecked my knees- in the long run $163 is a bargain when compared to knee surgery. A brief note they can be a bit warm in the summer time, and they do have a tendency to shift around until you get the adjusted but they are incredibly comfortable even when wearing shorts and they are very well made-Certainly worth the investment.
