FAQs

Are kneepads included with the knee protection pockets?

No, the knee protection pockets are sold separately. Compatible Blaklader kneepads (art. 4027 or 4057) must be purchased separately to achieve certified knee protection.

Can I use these knee pockets with any brand of shorts?

These pockets are specifically designed to fit Blaklader shorts. While they might physically fit into other garments, optimal performance and secure integration are only guaranteed with Blaklader shorts.

What is the difference between using kneepad 4027 and 4057?

When used with kneepad 4027, the pockets meet EN 14404 Type 1 Level 1 protection. When used with kneepad 4057, they meet EN 14404 Type 1 Level 0 protection. Level 1 offers higher protection.

How do I clean the knee protection pockets?

Remove the kneepad, then machine wash the pockets at 40°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.

What material are the knee pockets made from?

The main material is 100% polyester, CORDURA® Stretch fabric (320g/m²), with durable CORDURA® over the knee and airy stretch mesh on the back.

Can these pockets be adjusted for a better fit?

Yes, they feature an adjustable Velcro strap at the upper part of the pocket, allowing you to customize the fit.

Troubleshooting

Pockets feel loose or shift during wear

Ensure the adjustable Velcro strap at the upper part of the pocket is tightened securely to your leg. Verify that the pocket is correctly inserted into the designated slot on your Blaklader shorts.

Reduced ventilation or discomfort

Ensure the mesh back panel is not obstructed. If prolonged kneeling in very hot conditions causes discomfort, consider taking breaks or using alternative cooling methods.

Kneepad does not fit securely in the pocket

Confirm you are using a compatible Blaklader kneepad (4027 or 4057). Ensure the kneepad is oriented correctly within the pocket as per the kneepad's instructions.
