ToughBuilt - Gelfit Thigh Support Stabilization unisex Knee Pads - Heavy Duty, Comfortable and Adjustable - (TB-KP-G3), black

I work for a foundation company, where I'm in crawlspaces on a daily basis. I have bad knees due to multiple injuries and a motorcycle accident, and one of my knees has a total knee replacement. It's not an easy task moving around on my knees and they hurt without some form of protection on them. I have tried many style and brand pads, and many have 'helped' but none were perfect. Most with the single strap behind the knee would shift, slide down, or worse rotate and make crawling difficult. That all changed when I tried these pads. The double strap design holds them in place all day. The fact the strap is not in the fold of the back of the knee means all day comfort. The thigh support makes it easy to be upright on your knees and still maintain balance. The ergonomic design means the cap of the pad makes good contact with the ground. If you are in an industry where you work on your knees or have a need for knee pads, these are the way to go. Well worth every penny. Durability is up there as well. Mine look as if they have been through a war and back, and still work and feel like the day I bought them. No more knee pain at the end of the day from my job.

I’m a plumber and bought these when I was above 300lbs (thankfully below now) and even then, they were the best kneepads I’ve ever used. Very comfortable even crawling on rocks/ concrete/ and every other crawlspace surface. I never have To adjust them and even at my size, they fit well without stretching. My first pair were left on a job and stolen and I immediately bought the same brand. I always recommend them to coworkers.

I just received these as an upgrade to my previous multiple brands of kneepads. I chose to upgrade due to the pain and discomfort of standard kneepad straps bunching up behind my knee which puts pressure on the tendons as well as rolling into a large pile of fabric and straps directly behind my knee. The straps above and below the knee are amazing so far. The shin protrusion to relieve pressure from your feet seems to be a nice addition also although it will require some getting used to after 45 years of using standard kneepads. I purchased these for multipurpose use but much of it will be alongside vegetable garden beds. The outer knee cups are rigid plastic. They appear to be a softer material in the images but they are in fact a slightly textured black plastic. To test initial durability I dropped from a standing position to my knees without any support from my arms. I felt almost nothing in my knees from that quite extreme impact on a cement basement floor. The only sensation I had was the impact caused by the sudden jarring stop which is so be expected. For reference I am 5'9" tall and about 165 pounds. That made the drop from standing directly to my knees around 2-2.5 feet. Very Impressive! I only wish Toughbuilt offered a version of these kneepads with the interchangeable knee cup covers that snapped off and on like their more standard ones. It would be a huge benefit to be able to add a soft non-marring type cap cover, a rubber footed stability cap or even replace the hard plastic cup after they wear out. The rigid plastic only caps may be an issue on a smooth and slippery floor like marble, ceramic, smooth laminate flooring or laying roofing. I will try to update my review for durability of the product after I am able to put in hours of use. I rated Durability at 4 stars already just based on the perception of build quality and the drop to my knees test causing almost no marks at all on the caps and almost no discomfort. My opinion at this point... Highly Recommended! This is an upgrade that you will not regret if you get tired of the pain behind your knee from standard kneepad straps

I have a love hate disposition with these knee pads. For the price I kinda expected better. First I’d like to say they are certainly made with quality, some of the design isn’t great however.The knee padding itself is great. It’s very comfortable and protective. These are probably the most comfortable knee pads I’ve kneeled it. They also remain comfortable after long intervals even.The main gripe I have with these is that they don’t stay up. They’re good while you’re kneeling, but you can’t move around with them. They are HEAVY and cumbersome. When I finally take them off it feels like I’m removing weights from my legs and I can’t run again. The only way you can get them to stay up and now slide down your leg after a mere 3 steps is if you strap them on tight to the point it’s causing detriment. Which brings me to another gripe. They say it’s easy secure, but it’s not really. Yeah it has a peg you can insert in a hole to strap them, but it’s kinda pointless as each strap is covered in Velcro both behind your legs and as well as the strap that allows you to tighten where the plastic peg is. So you have to adjust the velcro strap behind your legs, adjust the tightness of the plastic insert, and adjust the strap that goes with the plastic insert. They are the most cumbersome knee pads to put on and take off that I’ve ever had. All they need is a simple hook and latch style fastener with no Velcro. I have 20$ pads from Home Depot that have this system that works great.Overall they are comfortable, but don’t stay up and are cumbersome to secure and wal around with. I will use the ones I have until I can no longer, but I’m not certain if I would buy again for the price

I have had my first pair for 3 1/2 years and I am still using them every day. The velcro on the main part of the strap is starting to separate from material a little where the excess strap from the knee pad hook attaches but they still work fine. I have put these knee pads through hell and back doing everything from roofing to building buildings and decks. I would where them every day all day and they are so comfortable once they are broke in good I sometimes forget I have them on. I just bought another pair to make sure I have a backup because they are that good that I do not see any reason to try a different brand or even a different model from Toughbuilt. You can use these on any surface without having to worry about damaging or marking the surface. If you need some knee pads you can wear all day without any discomfort these are the ones.
