Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Knee Pads are essential protective gear for construction workers, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts who spend significant time kneeling on hard surfaces. These pads provide excellent joint support and impact absorption, helping to reduce long-term physical fatigue and injury risk. While they offer superior protection and a lightweight fit, they are specifically engineered for compatibility with integrated Portwest knee pad pockets, which may limit their utility in trousers without compatible internal compartments.

FAQs
Are these knee pads one size fits all?
Yes, they are designed as a one-size-fits-all solution suitable for most standard work trouser knee pad pockets.
What does Level 0 safety mean?
Level 0 refers to the protection standard for flat surfaces, meaning these pads are ideal for general maintenance and flooring work where high-impact protection is not required.
Can I use these with other brands of trousers?
While they may fit in other brands with internal knee pad pockets, they are optimized specifically for Portwest workwear.
How long do these pads typically last?
Durability depends on usage frequency, but you should replace them when the EVA foam loses its ability to rebound or shows visible cracking.
Are these knee pads machine washable?
No, they should only be cleaned by hand with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the EVA material.
Troubleshooting
Pads shifting inside the pocket
Ensure the knee pad pocket flap is securely closed and that the trousers are correctly sized to prevent excessive garment movement.
Feeling discomfort after short use
Check to ensure the knee pad is centered in the pocket and that there is no debris trapped between the pad and your skin.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect for cracks or permanent compression in the EVA material, as this indicates the pads should be replaced to maintain adequate protection.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
