After having had two knee replacements it has been difficult kneeling on the floor, which has been necessitated by having to do wiring underneath my model railroad layout. I have tried a couple of types of knee pads that aren’t too bad but are not comfortable when standing, primarily due to their stiffness and/or the straps. I also have pads that are good for kneeling but they have to be physically moved by hand which is difficult while holding something else.Therefore I got these in hopes they would be more comfortable. As soon as I received these I tried them on and knelt on the floor. They are very comfortable and I was able move about with no issues. Next I stood up and walked a bit. They were still very comfortable.The outer surface of the pads is a thick flexible wearing surface that should last a long time if not abused. The inner padding is a dense foam about a 1/2″ thick. The straps are very stretchy and the holes are reinforced with a thicker edge. The aspects of the pads that contribute to their comfort are: 1) The flexible straps that can be adjusted to your choice of three tightness’s, plus they easily stretch preventing pinching, 2) the portion of the pads above the knee are corrugated which compresses when standing, and 3) the straps can be connected/disconnected on your choice of inside or outer side of your knee.These are now going to be permanently located in my train room. If you find that kneeling is painful, these will be a welcome relief.
