Happy you went with them. They have been my go to for at least 10 years now.

The clc soft pads are my go to pads.(The clear ones) They seem to last longer than most of the readily available ones from big box stores. My work pays for safety gear so when the straps start to go I just get a new pair and turn in the ticket.

Thanks buddy. Always looking for a good set of knee pads

The used gel kneepads look like CLC brand knee pads. $25-$30. They're good, but the rubbery silicone straps do get lost and do wear out. I like the CLC''s best of the ones I've tried so far. Those silicone straps work well. They give. They last work better than elastic fabric bands and definitely better than velcro-fastened bands. I have yet to find knee pads that don't make the back of my knees hurt. If they have straps good enough to stay up during work, they also constrict around my leg to where it hurts after awhile. I have a clean set of kneepads for working on nice floors; a set for outside in the dirt, sand and mud; and a set with a hard shell for working on concrete. Those Troxells look interesting to try. That wide band might be the answer.

Never heard of Troxell. May have to check them out. One suggestion regardless which knee pads you have, if you are the kind that nested one inside of the other when storing them and then uses the strap to hold them together, try not to stretch the strap any more than necessary to keep them together, otherwise you will prematurely wear out the strap without even wearing them. And I don't mind an occasional tool review especially if it something unique.

Best are the ones that slip inside your pants, granted I use strapped ones for summer work with shorts

Honestly the best person to review knee pads would be Kamala Harris
