KNEE PADS

Start with the surface

Tile and finished floors need a soft, non-marking cap: a hard shell scuffs stone and slides on smooth surfaces. Concrete and masonry punish gel on its own, so a semi-rigid cap over the gel spreads point loads. Roofs and framing want a hard cap that grips shingle and shrugs off nail heads and gravel.

Then the strap

The strap that slides is the strap that ends up in the truck. A single elastic strap works for occasional kneeling; for a full shift you want two anchor points, thigh and calf, cut long and adjustable on both sides. Measure mid-thigh over your work pants and check the range on each product page.

Gel or foam

Foam is lighter and cheaper and packs down faster. Dual-foam gel keeps its cushion through the day and for months of daily kneeling. If you kneel for a living, gel pays for itself; if you kneel on weekends, foam is honest value.

How long they last

Daily kneeling compresses gel over a few months. That is wear, not failure, and it's why the 2-pack exists: the spare rides in the truck. Anything that breaks before it wears out is on us: message us with your order number and a replacement ships.
