I think it's much easier to be hands free by having the pads
attached, and also one always seems to end up falling off the edge of
mats or overreaching in trying not to. And also you can kneel in
confined places, over joists etc. I should think a way to keep 'knee
pockets' on the knee, would be to put laces above and below the
pocket. I would not imagine the material would last very long
though. Perhaps the pad should be glued to the trousers...

The trousers have upside down pockets to hold pads like these

They are inserted up into the pockets and a flap holds them in place.

Its actually difficult to kneel without a knee landing in the right place.

I wear mine 24/7 or more accurately 8/5. They are always there and you
don't notice them until you kneel down.

And which are the trousers that you use: the 'Action' ones on the same link
(look strangely cheap); or the 'Buildtex'? I'm beginning to think I may be
in the market for some of these - and even some temporarily paint free
shorts too :-)
