I did a fair amount of research before deciding on 1 pair out of the three I ordered having worn through a number of pads in the past., either strapped or knee trouser pockets.
I have large knees, both are a bit screwed after years of working on them so support and comfort were important factors in my choice.
I decided not to write a review on my final choice until I used them for a while which is just under a year.
WrightFits brand knee pads,
The first thing is they are large and I have found them comfortable to wear and in use.
The outer pads them selves are a rubber facing, shell type.
Pay scant regard to claims like “ heavy duty “ or " professional ", they mean very little.
On first wearing them, on a ceramic tiled kitchen floor as my test bed, no slipping, I was kneeling fast and secure so off to a good start.
I liked the design and colour.
The straps are a mixture of elastic and velcro and could be wider, this would make for better comfort wear behind the knees when in use for long periods.
The straps while sturdy enough are far to long and stitching to these areas could be improved but if handy with a needle, easy to resolve.
They do slip off knees, not sure knee pad manufactures are ever going to resolve this issue and mine require adjusting every so often, sometimes to often, shortening the straps might help these pads but the velcro held securely---around my ankles.
I have used my pads mainly on concrete and timber floors and not every day but as the job calls for but when used, are worn for long periods.
They were the cheapest of the three I tried, my research found exactly the same pads, different brand names, both cheaper and much more expensive.
They are good value and reasonably well made, I would buy them again without concern, I forgive some of the quality issues because I find them so very comfortable to wear.
Read the reviews and view any photos, make your decision with these in mind.
