Product Information
Full details
The Portwest KP65 Stabiliser knee pads are designed for construction workers, tradespeople, and hobbyists who require reliable knee protection during prolonged kneeling tasks. These pads excel at providing a balance of structural support and cushioning comfort through their unique gel-foam architecture; however, users should note that they are specifically engineered for Type 1 performance, which may not be suitable for extreme heavy-duty environments requiring Type 2 or Level 2 certification.

FAQs
What does EN 14404 Type 1 Level 1 mean?
This indicates that the knee pads are certified for use on flat or non-flat surfaces and provide a basic level of protection against penetration and impact.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
Machine washing is not recommended; it is best to hand-wipe them with a damp cloth to preserve the structural integrity of the gel foam.
Are these knee pads sold as a single unit or a pair?
The KP65 knee pads are sold as a pair.
Are they suitable for heavy-duty industrial concrete work?
Yes, they are designed for heavy-duty work environments, provided the tasks do not exceed the Type 1 Level 1 performance rating.
Will these fit over thick winter work trousers?
Yes, the neoprene straps offer adjustable sizing to fit over various layers of workwear.
What are the dimensions of the pads?
Each pad measures 26cm in length and 17cm in width.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or are slipping down
Reposition the straps slightly above or below the bend of the knee to find the most ergonomic anchor point.
Accumulation of grit inside the padding
Gently shake the pads out and use a soft brush to clear any debris trapped between the cap and the foam base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the pad over the knee area of your work trousers and adjust the neoprene straps until they are snug but not restricting circulation. The pads are sold in pairs (26cm x 17cm) and are compatible with most standard heavy-duty work trousers. To maintain the life of your KP65 pads, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust or chemical residues. Avoid using harsh solvents or high-heat drying methods, as these can degrade the neoprene straps and foam inserts over time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
