McGuire-NicholasGel Lite Pro Flooring Knee Pads for Men and Women, Soft Gel Adjustable Knee Pads for Gardening, Flooring, and Work, Navy/Black | 22382

I'm a marine surveyor (inspect boats and ships) meaning every morning I can look forward to full day of kneeling, bending, wiggling and crawling around engine compartment, bilges and every other type of limited access space that can be found aboard. My knees are an extremely import part of my profession - if they don't work, neither can I.I've been through a seemly endless number of brands and styles and I can say these are the best kneepads I've used.The pictures show both the Gel Lite Pro Flooring Kneepads and another style I've used fromMcGuire-Nicholas (for comparison).Pros*Solid, good quality construction. Heavy stitching and rugged material.*All day comfort. They feature a wide, stretchy neoprene strap that's very comfortable - even when wearing shorts! The straps also feature a sewn on pull tab at the end, which makes removal easy. A nice touch that speaks to the overall quality of the pads.*Great design. They are semi-ridged and curved (which allows them to cup the knees and provide great support) but unlike hard plastic pads, they also feature a soft, non-marring exterior cover to prevent them from scuffing whatever you are kneeling on. The "Gel Zone" gel pad is also a great feature. Combined with the cupping action of the pads, it is a knee-saver.Cons - none that I can see really. I wear these pads 5 to 6 hours a day and during the summer they will start to smell after a while (due to sweat). When that happens, I simply throw them in the washer and they come out like new. A pair of these will generally last me about 3 months of daily use, after which they let you know it's time for a new pair - the gel starts to flatten a little and the hook and loop strips start to get fuzzy and fail to hold as well.Bottom line: A great set of knee pads at a great price.

I got these to use on my knee scooter after foot surgery. I previously had knee replacement and fell a few times since and have nerve pain. Even with extra cushioning getting around on that scooter was painful. I put the knee pad on top and it was enough protection and cushioning that I can use it painlessly!

Very comfortable for working. I was expecting them to be a little longer and run down my shins a bit. The neoprene straps are good but would be better if there was two per pad.

Good quality and comfortable. Perfect for working on your knees!

Lightweight and comfortable

I am not in the trades, however I do find myself doing my own flooring, trim, and duct work, etc. from time to time. I don't know why I put off getting some knee pads, so long. These are a treat.. My latest project is to redo some bad flooring in a camper. After 5 hours of banging around on my hands and knees, my knees still felt great. I'm sure there maybe "better" knee pads, but for this weekend workman, I think they work quite and are reasonably priced for occasional use.

Tend to fall off or get lose alot, should of had two straps on each

Padding and durability was amazing. The thickness is great. Stays in place. And the best thing is you can wash them in the washer.
