Ergodyne ProFlex 230HL Wide Soft Cap Knee Pad, Black

These are by far the best yardwork knee pads I've had.For a long time, I bought Friskars 9430 kneepads because they were inexpensive and did the job. When new, that is. When new, they're flat and the Velcro overlap just made it. After molding to the shape of my legs, the Velcro eventually (in a few weeks) no longer overlapped. After that the only thing holding them together was the fact that the elastic would stick to the stationary pieces of Velcro. More or less. I'd keep having to press them back on. But eventually even that wouldn't work, and at that point I tossed them out. I kept a spare pair on hand for that reason -- I considered them essentially disposable. The elastic would give out and no longer hold at all long before the pad was worn. And the pad was thin and just barely useful.The Ergodyne knee pads are terrific. Not only are they pre-contoured (and even are different for left and right), but the elastic is wider, heavier, and stronger, and doesn't seem to stretch much at all. They're also more comfortable and heavier-duty. And they stay in place. The pads are thicker and stronger, too, and the fabric seems like it'll last a long time.I've tried others that I ordered on Amazon, but they were even worse than the Friskars. I'm sure that professional kneepads might be even better, but that's overkill for my applications. The Ergodynes are definitely good enough for me!I do landscape maintenance on my labor-intensive yard plants and trees, of which there are literally hundreds. The Ergodyne are my new choice for knee pads, and it's clear that they'll last a very long time before needing replacement.ADDED JULY 21, 2020:I've been using these knee pads for over a year now. I have a spare pair, because I always have to have knee pads on hand, but I think it'll be a long time before I'll need the spares. These are absolutely the best knee pads that an amateur (and maybe some professionals) can get, especially for the price. They look, fit, and feel almost like new, and they've had VERY heavy service. I can't recommend these more highly. If you're looking for knee pads for backyard gardening and/or DIY landscape maintenance (as in my case), look no further.ADDED JUNE 25, 2021The last pair I was using finally gave out (well, not totally, but getting there), so I just bought another one and will now use the ones I bought here last year.These knee pads are very well designed and exceptionally well made, and a phenomenal value in my opinion. I'll continue getting them for my home landscape maintenance work as long as they're available (which I hope is forever). I just can't speak highly enough about them. Exceptional!This will be my last update to my review.

I have bought 7 pairs for my work crew since 2018!These are the BEST knee pads you will find anywhere. Flexible, high quality, breathable, adjustable, incredibly comfortable and there’s no “breaking them in”. Just strap them on and go at it. Does not pinch leg or supply any discomfort!! These are worth every penny!!

Works well and as described, would recommend this product to future buyers, well made and priced right for this item.

I couldn't find my nice gel set and I was preparing for a lot of flooring work so I tried these. They work all great for the money and they are easy to wear all day long. If you'll be spending a lot of time on your knees, buy a thicker pair.

These have nice cushion and straps, but are very slick. I needed them for cleaning and I just slid around the tile floor. Couldn't stay stable. Had to return.

I love these knee pads. Helps me do my 10 hour shifts without hurting my knees. Very comfortable and can be on them and you won’t feel a thing.

Perfect knee pads for gardening. Not too bulky and just the right knee cushioning.

I ordered these knee pads to give some cushion to my weak old knees for when I have to get down on the floor to clean bathtubs, clean baseboards, and such. They are perfect. Lots of cushion, and they are easy to put on and take off with the adjustable Velcro straps. They do not ride up or down and are very comfortable when I use them over my jeans or other long pants. If I'm doing a lot of cleaning, I just put them on in the morning and wear them all day. They are that comfortable. So glad I purchased these! I don't think you will be disappointed if you order them. I use Amazon Prime, and they arrived right on time in two days. Love Amazon Prime!

Great for lite Service/Diagnostics Work. The Ergodyne Floor pads are the best for long periods of work such as installs.

bon materiel

These knee pads have far exceded any others I have bought in the past, As a gardener I kneel on rocks and ledges for a big part of my day in mud. As a 6'1" man these fit well and stay in place, and wash up i no time. They are definitly wide enough to reach to the side and not lose the protection of the padding. Have already bought a second pair.Thank YouJohn

Lower strap is not elastic and may tend to loosen when walking

They are very comfortable, protect the knees well
