Just as someone who is always on his feet needs supportive, comfortable shoes, so do plumbers, roofers and skateboarders need a pair of high-quality knee pads. The best knee pads aren't necessarily the most expensive. The best pair depends on what you use them for.
Patella T-wedge
Patella T-wedge knee pads are the best knee pads for someone who puts pressure on his knees for long periods of time. Plumbers, roofers and anyone who spends a lot of time in a kneeling position can benefit from wearing T-wedge pads because they direct pressure away from the knees and onto the shins. This prevents the knee cap, or patella, from bearing all the weight. T-wedge knee pads have fluid flow packs to alleviate pressure and the packs can be replaced as needed. They also feature a neoprene base that is highly flexible.
Ergodyne Total Flex Gel All-Terrain
Ergodyne Total Flex Gel All-Terrain knee pads are the best knee pads for anyone who is works or plays outdoors a lot. The pads are comfortable, because of the gel and free-floating center, and durable. They disperse pressure and have adjustable straps to reduce slipping, without hindering movement. This is especially important in sports that require quick movements and for workers who stand up and kneel a lot.
Ergodyne Proflex 350
Ergodyne Proflex 350 gel knee pads are for people who need basic work pads that don't slip. The gel makes the pads comfortable to kneel on and the pads also have a hook-and-loop design that makes them easy to slip on and resists slipping. The pads are not pretty, but they are easy to clean and they do the job.
Salomon's Gel
Salomon's gel knee pads are ideal for inline skaters and skateboarders who need breathable, adjustable, comfortable knee pads to protect them when they fall. Salomon knee pads have Velcro straps instead of cuffs and joints between the top and bottom portions of their plastic shields. This is especially helpful for people who constantly flex and extend their knees, such as skaters. The pads also are made of a wicking material that keeps you cooler.
