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

I bought these kneepads because they are similar to the guards I wear when riding motorcycles and I like the style. I work in construction doing finish carpentry I spend all day up and down, running around and crawling on my knees so I needed something that allows easy movement and great protection without binding up and causing irritation in the back of my knee. The thigh support puts the strap above the knee which is much more comfortable since it removes the pinch I get when kneeling. These take a little time to break in just like a new pair of shoes, I hope they last a long time, they offer superior comfort for working on my knees. The velcro straps take a little adjustment to get just the right fit but after that they stay where you put them. The only drawbacks for me are first the bulk, the knee pads looked much smaller in the picture (they are BIG) you might get a few strange looks and comments, second the outer shell looked softer, trying these on at home I was moving around like I normally would and realized that the hard plastic shell scuffed my wood floor (granted it is a cheap floor, thats why I tried it there first) but I can't use these in every situation for fear of scratching a customers brand new hardwood floor. Third drawback, there is an extra "heel" on the front of the knee pad as a shin guard I guess, but it gets in the way of leaning back to sit on my feet to take some weight off my knees (I recently adopted this habit as a way of extending my shoe life, normally I would bend my toes when kneeling but this motion stresses my shoes to the point of ripping) but again this is also a matter of adapting to a new type of kneepads.

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

My wife decided we needed lots of retaining walls and natural stacked walls all around our property. I got these to save my knees from all the kneeling in gravel, on rocks, etc. They are the ticket! They are extremely rugged but fit smoothly on you knee. They are anchored at the thigh and just below the knee for a snug fit that does not slip. The gel padding forms perfectly to the shape of each knee. You will notice that there is a left and a right knee pad. They are made in such a way that when you kneel, they help you settle into a perfectly stable position. At the bottom of each pad, you'll notice a little "bump" that sticks out. That helps keep your shin at a perfect angle do keep from resting on your ankles. You'll also notice ridged straps connecting the thigh strap to the lower knee pads. That helps keep your knee from twisting. I do have to say, when you put these on, you'll look like you stepped out of the newest version of "Call to Duty". Still, really worth it!

1. I like these knee pads. 2. They are easy on, but can be a challenge at times to remove. 3. They appear to be well made. I have used them for about 2 weeks on smooth surfaces and gravel as well. 4. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods. Although I would not want to wear them for a straight 24 hour period. 5. The outer knee surface that comes in contact with the surface/ground, etc. will not keep you locked in one position and can slide you along glass like surfaces. 6. These pads are well made and protect your knees extremely well. 7. Then again, the color being bright yellow allows you to be seen coming from a long way off. I would not wear them if you are trying to hide in plain site, you will be detected. On the whole I strongly recommend these as a very useful tool. I would call these a good 4.5 stars. NOTE: I have been using these knee pads for a few tile jobs and have noticed that velcro strips need a better attachment method, on my pads several of the sewn on strips have segments that are beginning to tear out the cloth beneath them. TAKE CARE ON HOW YOU REMOVE THE PADS AFTER USE, THIS IS A POINT OF FAILURE. On the other hand, these are still superior knee pad.

I'm a stone mason and spend plenty of time on hard, uneven surfaces in all weather and with any number of layers of clothes on, and sometimes a lot of sweat going on, too. I've been buying and wearing kneepads for over 10 years. I've hated them all. Some have at least been acceptable enough not to make me want to light them on fire immediately, but most of them slip around too much and chafe the back of my knees where the straps rub. Some give rashes even through thick Carhartts. They've all been awful, but they're just a fact of life, and I've dealt with discomfort and annoyance for a long time. These knee-pads, on the other hand, came highly recommended from another friend in construction, and they have literally changed my working life. No pinching or rubbing behind the knees--at all. And once you learn to adjust them the right way for your body, you really don't have to fuss with them much. (For me, snug on the bottom strap, looser on the top one, or my thigh will push them down too far.) They stay where they should. They move with you. The hinge on the side is key. You will feel like Robocop when you first put them on, but after a day or two you will forget they are there. I bought expensive gel kneepads at Lowe's last year thinking I was upgrading. I hated those things SO MUCH (more than the cheap ones) that I stopped wearing them after a week even though I was kneeling in gravel at work, and I gave myself bursitis in both knees that took two months to heal. PLEASE BUY THESE KNEE PADS IF YOU ARE UP AND DOWN FROM KNEELING. They are fantastic. My knees and skin feel great, and they don't distract me from my work.

I've had these since august of 2020 and there was a month or two that they were mildly uncomfortable while i was breaking them in. The straps when wearing shorts would scratch the back of my leg, but over time the fabric of the straps loosened and the velcro became limper and the problem disappeared. They don't smell putrid after all this time and i can wear them for 8-12 hours straight and feel like I'm wearing nothing. They have protrusions at the base of them that act as a shim for your shins and help keep your feet more comfortably positioned. The best thing is that they have the upper band that straps around your thigh and helps hold the kneepads far more firmly in place, as well as provides a little extra protection and lateral support to your knees. After all this time i use them nearly daily and the gel and cloth covering of the gel haven't worn down in any meaningful way, but the gel has comformed to my knees a bit providing me extra comfort. I'm finally wearing little holes through the plastic of them, but they're still providing plenty of protection and i can see them providing another year easily.

I work in Plumbing and HVAC. Always crawling around in basements on dirt or cement floors or just kneeling because there is no room to stand. These things make the job so much more bearable, and have kept my knees pain and stain free. The foam padding inside is so thick and comfy that I had a few zip screws fall inside them and I didn't even notice I was kneeling on them until they fell out when I stood up. They are kind of large and look like over kill but I don't even care because of how much easier they've made my life. I wear them all day from the time I get to work till when I leave and they never bother me from cutting into the back of my leg or anything like that. My ONLY gripe is that I'm a rather skinny guy and at the tightest setting I can get them to, they are JUST tight enough for me to wear. Because of this, I can't run in them or they start to slide down a touch(not that I generally need to anyway). However, for normal walking/regular standing and kneeling its not been an issue. Their hinged design really helps them self center themselves on you by just bending your knee a bit, and you can walk around on your knees perfectly without them trying to move around or slip from side to side. Overall, I'd 100% recommend these to anyone. Solid product for the money you pay. Be kind to your knees, future doctors visits more expensive than these pads!

It was OK sometimes the knee pad fall down to my shins, but that’s OK

Lasted me over 5 years in an industry that destroys PPE stayed comfortable the whole time

Acquistate specificatamente per poter lavorare nelle stive degli aerei (quelle di poliuretano le avevo distrutte nel giro di un paio di settimane) e devo dire che si sono rivelate un eccellente prodotto. La plastica esterna è resistentissima mentre l'interno in gel è davvero comodo e in stiva sono state utilissime per salvare le mie ginocchia. Le consiglio vivamente in quanto prodotto molto duraturo e di ottima fattura.

最高です。ありがとうございます。 ズボンの持ちがいいです。

I suffered a knee injury years ago and all knee pads and knee supports have work have been so rubbish and uncomfortable. The only thing in my past that was comfortable was a knee brace I bought when I was injured. So when my old injury was starting to resurface again I thought I'd look around for some new knee pads for work and I tried everything from wrap arounds, to ones you slip into your trouser knee pockets to soft and hard shells and they have all been rubbish. Then I found these. These instantly reminded me of that comfortable knee brace I wore when I was injured so I have to give them a go.... I am so pleased I did! They stay in position, they don't slip down your legs every time you kneel down or stand up. They are really chunky so when you are in the kneeling position they take the strain off your ankles. The gel padding is super comfy too. I've been wearing them directly on my skin with my shorts over lapping the top strap so the knee pads don't look too overkill, but my colleague still calls me Robo Rhys when I wear them, but I am ok with that. I think these knee pads really helped me when I slipped off a patio step, I fell sideways but the knee pad stopped me from twisting my knee so I am most thankful I was wearing them at the time. Tbh the only flaws I have about these were: 1) The price, but having bought them I have found out why they are so expensive, they are definitely worth it. 2) When you kneel down they still aren't 100% comfy behind the knee, you can still feel the pinching sometimes (but I have only worn them on bare skin) and honestly these are still far far better than any other knee pads I've worn. 3) They do make your knees sweat in the heat! Lol 4) They are super bulky, but understandably so.
