After four years of research
and development, a new,
non foam-based safety
kneepad which ‘memorises’ its
original form without reducing its
cushioning effect from consecutive
or prolonged use, is now available.

Called Redbacks because the
construction resembles the markings
of an Australian redback spider, the
kneepads feature a soft and flexible
thermo plastic elastomer leaf-spring,
set in a honeycomb matrix. In
addition to the memory comfort
factor, the kneepads distribute body
weight evenly, elevating the knees to
reduce pressure on knee, leg, ankle
and foot joints.

Designed in the UK and made in
the EU by CL-7, the kneepads were
voted ‘Winner 2012 – SATRA Best
Innovation in Occupational PPE’. CE
approved, they are believed to be the
only kneepads to use leaf spring
technology that dissipates the user’s
weight, helping to bring relief from
discomfort either during or as a
result of kneeling.
