Caterpillar Men's Knee Pads

Perfect for what they’re meant to do, these Cat Knee Pads fit perfectly inside the knee pockets of the Cat Pants I bought with em (Caterpillar Men's H2o Defender Pants). Working on renewing my sisters Ipe Deck( using a Festool RO150 Rotex...a.k.a. Rex Quick-Sand )I sit for long periods of time on me achin knees... ever since I got these babies, the whole ordeal has been made that much easier, and now I don’t have to get up every once in a while to give those knees a break from the pain! On the contrary ,now I have to remind myself several times each session to get up so I can give me other limbs a rest ...it’s just real comfy staying down there, and working with that wonderful machine just became THAT much more fun!! Add to that the price which is next to nothing, specially when you compare it to other, more full blown knee pads, that I’m sure may be fine in their own right, but a can also probly be a bit more cumbersome ... The only eeetttiieee beeety thing I might say that might need improving is that sometimes they sorta slip a wee bit too low under the knee itself, but that may very well be cause the Awesome Cat Pants I got are a bit too long on me.

These were easy to put in and take out. They sit a little lower than my knees, but that actually works perfectly because they keep my knee off the ground and the rocks. While kneeling my knees were right at the and they were comfortable. Regarding the direction to wear them (there were several comments) if you wear them way it suggests, they give better protection - I didn't think this would be the case, but the suggestion is correct. I will but another set of these.

My husband purchased these knee pads for work and they have held up surprisingly well. The durability is solid, and even with daily use the foam has stayed supportive without flattening out. The size works well since they slide easily into the knee pad pockets of his work pants and stay in place throughout the day. For knee protection, they give him a comfortable cushion that makes kneeling on concrete or hard surfaces much easier, and he has noticed less pressure and soreness after long shifts. They are simple to use since he can put them in and take them out quickly when washing his pants, which saves time and effort. For the price, the value for money is great because they offer comfort, protection, and convenience without spending a lot. Overall, these knee pads have made his workday more comfortable and have been a practical addition to his gear.

On the knee pad it says that its direction towards the knee is opposite to what is shown on advertising. These are just initial impressions will try to update my review after some time working with them.

They fit in the knee holder pockets snuggly and offer decent padding. It isn't the super-thick and plush like the strap on types of knee pads, but the foam is dense enough to really make a difference if you are working on a job where you are constantly on your knees. I have yet to bottom them out to the surface I was kneeling on. The real advantage of using these with the Caterpillar pants is they STAY PUT and don't have a strap burning into the back of your legs like traditional exterior knee pads. I used to spend half the time sliding my old knee pads up and back onto my knee caps because they constantly slipped down and before the end of the day, the straps would have chafed the heck out of the backs of my knees. You also don't get dirt and stones between your pad and your knee with these like you do in traditional knee pads if you are working in soil (garden, planting trees, driving fence posts, etc.). I put them into the pants when when the job requires kneeling and leave them out when it doesn't. Also, they are completely unobtrusive when in use. I always forget they are in there. No movement restrictions at all.

The picture doesn't show how thick these are. They are HUGELY thick, almost 3x thicker than the Softknees brand (industry standard for decades). As a result they don't roll tight enough to fit the slit at the bottom of the knee pocket for Carthartt and Wrangler Riggs pants. I ended up pulling the stitches on my Riggs then resewing, however the thickness of these kneepads is incredibly uncomfortable since your knee tends to settle into all the super thin spots BETWEEN the thick padding. They were ripped and ruined within 3 months for all four of my pairs of work pants. The Softknees brand ones typically last 12 months before they're worn a little thin in the middle so I will be using them again. It was worth trying out something new, now I can share with others that it's not worth the time, money, or effort.

Was on all kinds of different rocks, gravel you name it stuff up in BP plants I couldn’t even name. Helped my blown out knee so much. I did put in upside down but that was my mistake. Still would recommend. You don’t know how much your knees take a beating till you get older and I already get injections to keep me going. These helped a ton.

I love the CAT pants, and have about 4 pairs that I wear regularly. They are awesome. Considering they all have the kneepad pocket, I figured I'd buy some. Maybe 15% of my work is on my knees, so I don't get to use them often, but they make life a lot easier when you have them. When I recieved the kneepad, my first though was "what is this cheap junk?!" My first instinct was to try to tear them, and even at the thin parts, they did not tear! It blew my mind. They're so lightweight and flexible, and the material is so strong, despite its misleading appearance. You don't even known they're there when wearing them. I'm 100% into these inserts, because if you've ever used the pads with straps, they dig into the back of your knee and slide down your leg all day. What a great value. I might order a "back-up pair to keep at home, and keep this pair in the truck. I'll keep using these and update my review if I have any issues. But so far, my guess is that the pants will rip/fail before these. Thanks for reading!

This are great quality. My boyfriend uses them in the Helly Hanson work pants and he said they actually fit great! they aren't too bulky but are perfect for comfort and save his knees!
