My new knee pads cost $80 and I'm not mad about it

I finally gave in and bought a good pair of gel knee pads last month. For years I just used the cheap foam ones that came with the tool kit, and my knees would be killing me by Friday. These new ones have a hard cap and thick gel, and they strap on tight so they don't slide around when you're scooting across the subfloor. I did a whole house in Arlington last week, about 1200 square feet of glue-down commercial carpet, and I got up at the end of the day without that usual ache. It's a small thing, but it makes the job feel less like a punishment. What brand do you guys use that actually holds up?

Saw a flooring guy on youtube swear by the brand ToughBuilt. Said they last forever.
