McGuire-Nicholas 343-KP Tactical Knee Pads, Heavy Duty Foam Lined Knee Pads, Dual-Buckle Closure, Black,Black

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.

100% what I hoped they would be. Indoor all surfaces, more comfortable than standing.

I like the gel in the knee pad, they make provide much needed comport and support. The exterior shell is holding up well so far, but I primarily use these indoors on hard flooring. They are easy to wipe clean if needed. The Velcro strap is not binding behind the knee. Worth the price at this point.

Excellent quality and comfortable. Does not slip.

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

Very comfortable and great for many or any trades. I would use this as a mechanic, ironworker, welder, plumber, carpenter, metal building erector, pretty much any time I don't want to hang up my knees like a fool for not wearing knee pads.

These were priced reasonably although pretty comfortable (not as comfortable as my previous husky brand) the velcro has failed on the first one and now Im n the second (I only wear one on my right leg) hopefully this will last longer than a couple monthgs...

High quality knee pads quality, when I knee down on the floor, i feel comfortably to do my work
