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.

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.

Comfort and value can’t be beat. I bought them to go with the Caterpiller work pants. The knee pocket is to big or knee pads to small they slide out of position.

Bought it to use with the CAT pants. Used daily for construction. Pros: Slides into pant knee pockets easily Flexible due to the grooves No behind the knee band so you're not sweating like other knee pads that have the spandex straps. Cons: Thin ..need to be thicker. Width is shorter than the knee pockets so it slides around and usually ends on the side you don't need it to be. When I bend down to kneel, I usually catch the edge of the knee pads, where it has the thinner padding. I notice the pant leg twist a little when bending, causing the contact to be on the edge. Maybe make the pads wider and also same thickness from left to right. Overall the pads are okay. Needs to be thicker and I'm not even heavy (under 200 lbs). Can feel the ground, scary if I kneel in a nail for example... Update after using for 2 weeks on the construction site: Ended up buying 1" thick rectangular pads, cut them to 7-3/4" x 10", score cuts in areas that should bend and squeezed them into my CAT pants. Looks weird because they're a little stiff but the comfort is amazing.

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.

They good but wasn’t delivered like I indicated
