Found some on Amazon that I have on now, they are sponge on the front and just pull up the leg, they seem ok to be honest. Useful at work. Might look for a bigger / better kneeling pad also.

Workwear joggers with built in kneepads. No need for uncomfortable separate pads. Might be worth a look if you have to kneel..

The problem you get with using insertable pads and built in pads etc is, your trousers still get wet and muddy along with over time maybe wearing holes in your knees of your trousers if you kneel a lot on sharp stones and chippings etc. And then you might have to sit with wet knees if you remove the inserts or get into your sleeping bag with wet and muddy knees.
Even small foam kneeling mats are too small, when you are weighing fish, setting up your rods and changing positions etc, you can find that your constantly having to reposition it.
Unhooking mats are OK, but unless you have a spare one, they end up soaked with water when you wet them down to put fish on etc and then your kneeling on a wet mat covered in fish slime.
That is why "Hard Shell" external ones are best, they keep your knees clean and dry, removable, and when you move, always under your knee. From experience I wouldnt use anything else.
And if you ever kneel on a treble hook someone has dropped in a swim, that is when you wish you had some knee pads which was another reason why I started wearing them especially in the Winter months when Pike anglers frequent the bank.

you tart
have a look at the kneeling cushions that gardners use - high density foam that is waterproof, cheap, light & small. I have one tucked inside my unhooking mat for catch shots & it sounds like it would be perfect for what you need.

Fentos are good but at around £85+ not cheap. But if your using them everyday it's cheaper then new knees. I find them decent with trousers but shorts the straps are the issue. They are not the most comfortable, Velcro does get nackered over time and my biggest gripe is the length. If you have calf's like an elephant then you're ok but otherwise they are way too big. For occasional use whilst fishing a gardeners kneeling mat would be perfect. Easier to store, light and cheap
