Simple Idea Solves Old Problem ~ Built-in Kneepads | Snickers Workwear

[@SJWardBuilders]

I can't highlight enough, the importance of protecting your knees! I wish id listened to all those that repeatedly told me so! Now my knees are shot to pieces and I can't even prey for a miracle!

[@namethem00]

I would agree, I'm the only one who uses knee pads that I work withand I'm also the youngest at 23. Figure it's smart to listen to people who are older than I am about it, they aren't saying there knees are bad for fun.

[@ricos1497]

Have you tried following the knees over toes guy on KZbin? I can recommend his exercises for buggered knees. Might not work for you, of course, but worth a try perhaps.

[@SJWardBuilders]

Thank you ill take a look@@ricos1497

[@W2APS]

Same. I found some Dickies trousers with knee pad inserts a few years too late.

[@ricos1497]

Washing your trousers? Someone's got above his station. What next? Cleaning your van?

[@EliAndObie]

Excellent Vid, your knees are important. Liking the boots Dan, where can I get some mate?

[@giuseppepalmisano-yq6tc]

They're STARK Pro Safety boots, got a pair of their M1's and they are sh*t hot mate 👍

Apprentice plumber, third year. Bought them as soon as I could get them shipped to Canada. Very expensive but well worth it. I always had to adjust my pads after kneeling, and it becomes incredibly aggravating after a short while. These are spot on. I use the pouches mainly for fasteners. If I'm not carrying those, I just tuck them in to the regular pockets. The phone pocket is marvelous. I can carry my 1' level in the side knee pocket. My measuring tape I switch around depending on the position my body is in. My first foreman was an Irishman and he showed me the ways of Snickers. In Canada, Snickers is a famous candy bar. I laughed at first. But holy smokes. These are so much better than what we have here standard. Dickie's, Carhartt, Helly Hansen etc. Sub par in comparison. I'm a fan for life. If you're thinking about buying these. Stop thinking. Buy them and see the difference it makes. The amount of flexibility in them is also a major plus. I've ripped so many crotches in pants. Snickers thought about that and made the crotch extra stretchy. I only have one complaint and that is the waist being way too big. I sent them my measurements and I'll be taking off at least 4" next time I order them.

The way Dan was in and out from under that flight of stairs he looked like a man that would be more interested in running shoes, than standing around talking about kneepads. Keep up the good work Dan your obviously busy.👍👍

I've been doing this with the Lidl work trouser, I just have closed cell foam sheets in the knee pad pockets, and they just go through the wash as one. Can't imagine doing work without these now.

[@silky-1971-]

I've been using these for 20 years. I think my knees would be knackered without them.

[@MonkeyBabba]

i am just a diy guy i do everything my self from plumbing interior to exterior laying slabs for patio and walkways (which i did one over the weekend and my knees was killing me from kneeling in the sand) laying laminate to repairing cars etc etc the list goes on i do this for myself and most of the family i have some knee pads in my work gear draw but looking at these trousers i like the idea as everything i do involves kneeling and as you get older it gets more of a pain however looking at the price for a diyer they are well out of my range, i showed them to my nephew who is in a trade and he agreed they are worth it if your using them 5-6 days a week as a trades man/woman but not for the average guy.

[@happyharry7331]

Check out Aldi they do work trousers with holders for knee pads they wash well. Like you I am only a DIY’er but u only have one pair of knees to last a lifetime, ditto safety glasses, ditto earplugs, ditto mask 👍👍

[@robertszynal4745]

I wear "short" size trousers (Grandad was a jockey) and I actually find that they don't reposition the kneepad higher on them, they simply shorten the end of the legs. This results in my knees being right at the top of the pad so I have to hitch the trousers up when I'm kneeling. I have the type where you put the pads in the velcro pocket but I doubt they've changed their design approach for these ones.

[@MarkUKInsects]

Me too, short legs and the knee pads are too low. Hopefully Snickers have sorted that?

[@joytotheworld9109]

I wonder if they do that over the full range or only on the shorter length legs? If they have the pads the same distance from the beltline you'd find the extra longs would have the pads well up on their thighs. They should be close to the middle, ya know, 'rund about knee height!

[@pchisholm4]

I have a similar problem at 6’3”, knee pad’s always seem to be too high

[@craiggamble4431]

For me it's when you go to adjust position, the pad immediately moves then you kneel on hard floor again.

[@coop_coop007]

Two pairs from Lidl lasted four years of fair use, knee pads changed after two years. Thirty quid a pair or so. With knee pads. Cordura material. Snickers were great but the material does wear under heavy use quite quickly.

[@PhoneVidoes]

Big fan of Snickers stuff and have been since around the 90's and even persauded the "electricity board" I originally worked for to use them as they just last for ages. I've never had and issue with not having the knee pads in them as they come out for washing and then go back in once they are dry and put away with the pads in so they are always there. Be interesting to see how these fair.

[@MelbourneAlan]

its an interesting option but i have never taken my knee pads out for washing. each trouser i have has a set of kneepads in them. they take a day longer to fully dry but what harm is that . i have several pairs so can give them plenty of time. years ago i used to get caught short when taking them out and forgetting to put them back in.

[@trevor6661000]

Do they do them in white for decorators ? Getting the correct trouser fit for slide in ones has always been tricky

[@scottsparky1]

What are the knee pads made of. I think they will hold water and take ages to dry out properly after the wash. I used to use the floor layers knee pads and I had left them in once or twice by mistake when I washed them, and when I took them out of the washing machine they were like a sponge.

[@neill1200]

I cant find a link to buy these trousers, only a snickers link for a competition to win some?

[@YT_User-]

Thanks for the video and for you and Snickers running the competition 👌

[@therealdojj]

I've used a few offcuts of foam insulation because not only am I old, but I'm also not going to use them every day But yes, you need knee pads you youngsters

[@namethem00]

Yessir.

[@mrsbradpittiful]

Perfect for when asking the boss for a pay rise also

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Looks great. I should try a pair.

[@gingerelvis]

Water on the knee aint fun! Look after your knees kids. My knees are shagged from a youth spent skateboarding so jobs on my knees pads are well worth it. The only issue is Iike to work in shorts through the warmer months and the velcro strap ones move around and make you sweat. My motorcyle hear has D3O pads fitted and its amazing stuff, much less bulky and more flexible than traditional foam.

[@heavydiesel]

I wouldn't be without kneepads, been using them for over 20 years.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Where's the link to buy these please? Even a model name so i can Google them. I know they're Snickers but which model please? Another useful video.

[@BaronVonSadist]

[@markpayne9266]

Nice idea, and probably pretty good but at £120 they're a bit salty for me, Apache ATS are the best I've ever bought, tough, stretchy and under £40.👍

[@BaronVonSadist]

They are worth it and its actully cheap compaired to other swedish workwear brands that costs twice the amount of the snickers brand

Motorcyclists have been wearing protective trousers with knee, hip and shin pads for at least 30+yrs. long time transition to construction industry. 1994 CE standard set.

[@accesszero4803]

Thats a great idea, love my hh pants but they wear to fast

[@momo1883]

I'm fat 😂 so I need them knee pads and so many failed on my knees. Any new invention is a good thing.

[@ilijadjujic5911]

I find the pockets that knee pads fit into to be in the wrong place for me, since I've got long femur bones they don't fall nicely on my knees when I kneel down. I would imagine I would get the same problem with these as well

[@phil2544]

I was tiling last week and the sweat would run of my head without knee pads as without knee pads your using a wad of back muscles to reduce the pain and help with balance as soon as a put my knee pads on i felt like was cruising along 😂

Do Snickers sell trousers with a built in arse pad. If so, I'm interested.

[@shotgunharry980]

I think you’re right there, even if you’re wearing knee pads and kneeling all the time you’ll eventually damage the cartilage in the knee joint and the cartilage behind the patella. Just try and stay off your knees.

[@Harry-nc7zi]

I use the stap on knee pads which work fine for me. Over £ 100 for work trousers is a bit much.
