FAQs
How much more foam do these knee pads have compared to older models?
These improved knee pads feature 30% more foam than the original Burgon & Ball design, offering enhanced cushioning.
What materials are the knee pads made from?
They are constructed with a deep core of shock-absorbing EVA foam, sandwiched between layers of memory foam, and covered with hardwearing neoprene and a quick-dry nylon coating.
Can I wear these knee pads for standing work?
Yes, the unique cut-out design is intended to prevent uncomfortable pressure when standing, making them suitable for tasks that involve both kneeling and standing.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, they feature adjustable hook and loop straps to ensure a snug and comfortable fit for most users.
How should I clean the knee pads?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. For dirtier pads, use mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry completely.
Will these protect my knees on sharp rocks?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for comfort during gardening. For extremely sharp or abrasive surfaces, additional protection might be advisable.
Are they waterproof?
The outer cover has a quick-dry nylon coating, which offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It's best to dry them after exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Readjust the hook and loop straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the pads are positioned correctly before tightening.
Knee pads feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the pads are dry and positioned correctly.
Foam seems to compress over time.
The memory foam is designed to contour. For significant compression, ensure proper care and storage. If a defect is suspected, contact customer support.
