This are the best pads I’ve ever had. I have skinny legs and always have problems with the kneepads lying down my leg. These stay in place all day long. The only problem I have with them is that the new praying band around the leg tears right at the Velcro.

THE FLOOR DOESN’T CARE. WE DO.
GelGuard is built for jobs that keep you low and moving. Thick EVA foam and gel layers under a tough PVC cap absorb impact and protect your knees from concrete, tile, or rough terrain. Reinforced straps lock the pads in place, while durable stitching and materials stand up to daily grind. Adjustable dual closures fit snugly to your measurements, so you can focus on the work, not your gear. Slip them on, set the straps, and get after it: construction, tiling, woodworking, or any task where knees meet the grind.
- ABSORB THE HITS. Gel and EVA foam take the brunt so your knees don’t have to.
- BUILT TO LAST. PVC cap and heavy-duty polyester construction with PU cover stand up to all-day grind.
- STAYS PUT, NO SLIP-UPS. Silicone-lined top strap keeps your knee pads locked in place.
- ADJUSTABLE TO PERFECTION. Flexible hook-and-loop neoprene straps let you dial in a custom fit in seconds.
- FITS LIKE IT MEANS BUSINESS. Ergonomic padding molds to your knees, cuts fatigue, and keeps you moving.
GRIND HARD. STAY STRONG.

Inside the product
Built for the full shift

Gel under a grooved capFits thighs to 26 inches
EVA foam and gel under a PVC cap cut with non-slip grooves. Straps at the thigh and the shin adjust to thighs up to 26 inches around.
- Cushion: EVA foam and gel
- Cap: PVC, non-slip grooves
- Straps: neoprene, hook-and-loop, silicone lined at the top
Two straps, both adjustable
One at the thigh, one at the shin, both hook-and-loop on neoprene. The top strap is lined with silicone to hold its place. It adjusts to thighs up to 26 inches around.
A tougher cap for rough ground
PVC stands up to abrasion on concrete, soil and stone, and the grooves give it grip. For finished floors, the LightGuard pads have a non-marking leather face.

They're decent, could use some improvement but not bad considering the price! 😏
Big guy on his knees, these knee pads do the trick. No more knee pain for me.
I didn't have the time to mess around with trying to put these things on while at work. I probably should have just returned them.
I absolutely love these shoes - they are a lifesaver for my job. They are comfortable, sturdy, and don't cause any discomfort.
And the service behind it
