FAQs
Are these knee pads sold individually?

What is the main benefit of the gel material?
The 25 mm gel material provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort during prolonged kneeling and protecting against impact.
How do I ensure these knee pads are certified for safety?
The knee pads are certified with trousers marked M1G and H1G for EN 14404 2004+A1 2010, type 2, Level 1 safety standard. Always check your work trousers for these markings.
Can I wash my work trousers with the knee pads inside?

What are the dimensions of each knee pad?

What material are the knee pads made from?

Will these knee pads fit any work trousers?

Troubleshooting
Knee pads shift during use
Ensure the knee pads are fully inserted into the trouser pockets and that the trousers are a snug fit. The extra wide design should minimize shifting.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify that the knee pads are correctly oriented and that your trousers are the correct size. The soft interior and conforming gel aim to maximize comfort; ensure no direct pressure points are caused by trouser seams or fit.
Gel feels hard or loses cushioning
This is unlikely with proper care. Ensure the pads are not exposed to extreme temperatures or damaged physically. If cushioning seems reduced, check for signs of wear or material degradation.
