Buying advice: how to compare kneepads
Decide on intended use first – occasional DIY tasks need a low-profile pad, while heavy trade work benefits from thicker EVA or impact-resistant inserts. Compare pad material, thickness and strap type for comfort and stability. Look at pad dimensions and weight if you use knee-pocket trousers. Check product specifications for cleaning instructions and wear life, and consult our View size guides for general sizing guidance.

FAQs
Are kneepads classed as personal protective equipment (PPE)?
Some kneepads meet PPE standards; check the individual product page for any compliance or certification details before purchase.
How do I clean and maintain kneepads?
Most kneepads wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. See the product page for specific care instructions to avoid damaging foam or straps.
Will one-size kneepads fit over work trousers?
Many one-size kneepads are designed to fit over trousers, but fit can vary. Check the product dimensions and strap adjustability on the product page to ensure a secure fit.
What is the difference between EVA and polyethylene pads?
EVA typically provides thicker, shock-absorbing protection while polyethylene tends to be lower profile and better for sliding on hard surfaces. Choose based on how much cushioning versus low bulk you need.
