As a merchandiser I am up, down, and on my knees constantly. These are easy to get on and off. They are really comfortable and don’t cause my pants to rub. I was a little worried that the hard cap would make them feel awkward, but it does flex perfectly. Strongly recommended.

CONCRETE HURTS. THESE DON’T.
When the job keeps you kneeling, the KneeGuard gel knee pads keep you comfortable. High-density EVA foam and thick gel cushioning deliver serious support without the bulk. The durable, PVC hard cap handles concrete, tile, dirt, and decking, while breathable mesh lining keeps things cool. Reinforced elastic straps and heavy-duty metal rivets lock everything in place so your pads don’t slide mid-task. Easy to slip on, quick to adjust, and built to last, because your knees have work to do.
- BUILT LIKE A TANK. PVC cap and heavy-duty polyester construction. Won't rip, tear, or tap out.
- BREATHABLE COMFORT. Side mesh and neoprene lining. Air flows, sweat doesn’t stick, and you stay cool.
- FITS LIKE A SECOND SKIN. Contoured shape that adapts to your knee.
- PILLOW-LIKE SUPPORT. Thick gel and EVA foam crush pressure before it reaches your knees.
- EASY ON. EASY OFF. Strap in, buckle down, crisscross for backup. Hang ’em up when the job’s done.

Clip in, or cross the straps
Two straps close with slip-in clips and are riveted to the shell. Wear them straight, or cross them for a tighter hold. Set the length once and the clips do the rest.
For rough ground
A hard cap takes gravel, decking and rebar that would chew up a soft one. It is the wrong cap for hardwood and tile. For finished floors, the LightGuard pads have a non-marking leather face.

needed additional help while crawling through underbrush picking up trash streamside during a reclamation project. these worked great as sometimes i had to drop to avoid overhead branches. i’m 63, and in pretty good shape but not like i was 40 years ago. thanks no cry, i’ve successfully added a new product of yours to my collection. peace everyone, stay safe…
I have worn various knee pads over the years, and now that I am elderly, I have found that I could not get on my knees at all. With these knee pads, I experience no discomfort when going to my knees or being on them.
I have lateral tears in the meniscus for both knees. I'm also over weight and going to my knees is truly painful. I looked to the internet to find a solution and NoCry kept coming up. I can now go down to my knees without pain and also wear them all day without fatigue or them slipping down my legs. These knee pads are truly a miracle compared to the junk I tried before and gave up on.
