All round knee protection
31 March 2016
Redbacks Cushioning, manufacturer of patented, ‘leaf-spring’, non-foam or gel kneepads, now offers a strapped version as an addition to its original product for pocketed work trousers.

Designed, overseen and approved by a senior ergonomist, clinical scientist and biomedical engineer, the kneepads retain the company’s award winning cushioning technology which incorporates a flexible TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) leaf-spring set within a special honeycomb matrix.
Suitable for all round protection in the warmer months, the kneepads have elasticated, soft Neoprene straps with dust and particle resistant fastenings which allow them to be worn on bare skin without chafing; they are equally effective worn over trousers, staying in the correct position in either case, when kneeling, walking or sitting.
The pads have a water-resistant covering and a soft breathable, inner fabric that wicks away sweat whilst providing thermal protection from warm or cold surfaces. They are said to be scientifically proven to reduce point pressure and distribute weight evenly; impact forces associated with kneeling are absorbed giving added protection against back and neck pain.
