Kneeling:

Knee pads should be considered to reduce pressure on the knees. Many
knee pads 'bind' uncomfortably behind the legs, and slip off the knees
and down the legs.

a.  SoftKnees Knee pads (Product #1010) are designed to protect knees
    from hard, rough, wet, or cold surfaces, and area easily installed
    in double knee workwear. They eliminate the problem of being
    unprepared for kneeling when on site, away from any source of knee
    protection. SoftKnees can remain in work clothes when they are
    washed, but are easy to remove and replace so that the garment dries
    faster. Some people make 'home-made' knee pads by cutting Army
    surplus sleeping pads into small squares, which can fit into double
    knee workwear.

SoftKnees Disposable Universal Peel & Stick Pads

(Product #1012) (Product #1012R)

SoftKnees disposable pads may work better in some situations. The
self-stick adhesive and the ability to trim them with scissors or a
utility knife allows these pads to be placed where needed, on knees,
elbows, shoulders, and other areas needing temporary padding.

b.  Hard shell kneepads are better for situations where there are hard
    or sharp protrusions that might impact the kneecap area.
