Water proof trousers with knee pads

Location
Norfolk
I have a 3 deck Houghton trailer on the back of my tractor. I have been using it a lot recently moving sheep around. There isn't much room on each deck so I spend a lot of time on my knee's on the chequer plate floor.
Question is' where can I buy a quality pair of waterproofs with knee pads fitted in them? TIA

Kiwikit has flexothane waterproofs with knee pads for £39.50 :). Just easier leaving a pair of leggings on some wellies to grab when I am moving sheep. Seems to be a never ending job atm. Totalled over 400 miles on tractor over last 2 days:banghead:.

You can buy good quality knee pads at any builders merchants. Far better than the ones that are built into trousers.

Kiwikt kit sell them with reinforced knees

I have some Kaiwaka Stormforce trousers and they have strong knees, they are well made and fine for kneeling now and then. But I'd not want to chance them on rough ground too often or get sore knees by using only them if I was to be spending a lot of time on my knees e.g. hedging for me. As @GTB has said, there are good knee pads on the market and they are cheap enough to buy a couple of pairs.

Regarding Velcro not being much good when muddy, surely this won't be a problem because if the pads are already on, the contacting velcroed parts won't get muddy. But, if you have concerns, spray some WD40 on the parts concerned... :sneaky:.
