Redbacks Lightweight Advanced Slide-In Knee Pad For Workwear Trousers

I'm just about to order my 3rd pair of redbacks. It was 3 years ago was when I last purchased some. 3 years is a long time for kneepads to last. By far the best knee pads on the market. Worth every penny.

Very comfortable to kneel on. Only bad point is they are a little on the heavy side compared to others. But the comfort, support and that they can be machine washable makes them the best I’ve had.

I've used the foam type of kneepad inserts as well as strap on pads, these are the best I've come across so far. My only complaint would be the covers. The lining/backing on the fabric is splitting and also acts as a trap for any bits of grit. Overall they are more comfortable than others and seem to be lasting better (besides the covers)

I work offshore on vessels that support the renewables and Oil & Gas industry. The equipment I work on means I'm on my knees a lot, and I come into contact with grease and hydraulic oil daily. This means I have to wash my coveralls daily, and use two pairs that I wear on alternative days. For years I've used different brands of knee pad inserts, and while they are often comfy enough to begin with, they start to deteriorate with heat when kneeling on a hot deck, or worse if I've forgot to remove them and put my coveralls to the laundry, they will come back shrunk to half their size and have lost all cushioning ability and won't stay in the knee pockets any more. Anyhoo: I hunted for machine washable inserts as I had an idea that I could sew the knee pockets closed if I had machine washable. I ordered two of these, which was significantly more expensive than the brands I normally use. They arrived and we're bigger than I expected, but luckily my new coveralls I'd just received from work had knee insert pockets big enough. I put them in, stitched the knee pockets closed, and that was it. I'm writing this after having done the first trip offshore using them, and I am so pleased with them. It may seem trivial, but finishing the shift, emptying my coverall pockets and not having to faff around with taking the knee pads out is great, and even better is not having the worse faff of putting them in before shift. They lasted a month of each being washed on alternative days, and there was no deterioration in the feel, thickness or shape. Now for the negatives: they are not as soft, nor as comfy as the non-machine washable types. This is obviously a trade off with being able to withstand constant machine washing and tumble drying. I did find on extended time on knees I'd need to adjust my knees a little due to the mesh shape pressing in. They are a quite large and add due to being less flexible and soft you have this big square shape kicking around on the front t of the coveralls, so it took a little getting used to. However, for me these trade offs are worth it for them being able to be permanently fixed into my boiler suits.

I'm a gas engineer so I'm on my knees a lot. My company provide me with work issued trousers and additional knee pads and a tiny kneeling pad but these are rubbish. My motto is.....that you only get one set of knees so look after them. You will truly miss them when they're gone! They are on the heavy side for slide in knee pads but this is because they are not made of crappy foam but a unique, patented cross sectional design. I have to het into the routine of pulling my trousers up before kneeling down as the knee inserts on the trousers are quite low. I've washed the pants with the knee pads in and everything was great, kneepads didn't budge or end up in the washing machine!

They are very good knee protectors the only downside of them is that they are quite hard to put them in the knee pockets and also when you need to take them out. Also be aware of the size of the knee pockets in the trousers are on one of them these protectors are too small and would be better off without them. On ther other they do fit a little bigger but they are okay and very comfortable.

Without a doubt , the best kneepads i have ever owned. Very rarely do i leave reviews , but these deserve one. I have used a ton of different kneepads, various foam inserts, toughbuilt hardshells , etc. These are by far the most comfortable , practical and hard wearing. Keep in mind insertable kneepads are only as good as the trousers you are putting them in. If anyone needs a suggestion i recommend Strauss es motion 2020. I use these 2 products 8 hours a day 5 days a week as a carpenter, i am up and down thousands of times.

Best kneepads you can buy, as a floorlayer I'm on knees most of the day so you can take it from me that they get well used, they last longer than others and they perform better than others. The main point which separates them from the rest is that they disperse your weight across the pad so that your not 'point loading' your weight, that way your knees feel better than in standard foam pads. Only small issue is takes a week to break in and they are a little heavy but a small price to pay for having proper knee protection at work
