Looking after it

About this product
Gel and foam knee pads under a hard thermoplastic shell, sold as a kit.
The listing states three layers: gel and foam inside, rubber in the middle, a hard thermoplastic shell outside. Safety glasses and leather gloves come in the same box.
Knee pads built in three layers: gel and foam next to the knee, rubber in the middle for sturdiness, and a hard thermoplastic shell on the outside to take the impact.
A buckle and strap system holds them in place without cutting into the back of the knee.
Two extra 25.4 cm strap extenders are included, which is what makes them fit over bulky work trousers.
The listing describes them as slip resistant and safe to use on any surface.
Safety glasses and leather gloves come in the same box, so this is a kit rather than a single item.
Package dimensions on the listing are 28.7 cm by 22.2 cm by 13.4 cm, and the weight is 1 kg.
Kneeling all day is what does the damage, and a thin foam pad does not stop it. These are built in three layers, and each one has a job. The gel and foam core shapes itself to your knee. The rubber layer stops the pad collapsing. The hard thermoplastic shell on the outside takes the impact and lets you slide across a floor instead of catching on it.
The strap system uses buckles rather than elastic, and two 25.4 cm extenders come in the box. That is what lets the pads sit over work trousers without cutting into the back of the knee, which is the usual reason people stop wearing them.
The listing describes the shells as slip resistant and safe to use on any surface.
This is sold as a kit. Safety glasses and leather gloves are in the same box. The glasses are described as fog and scratch resistant with UV protection, and the gloves as non-slip with reinforced padded palms.
One thing removed from the live listing: it named a third party's brand for the included glasses. We do not carry another business's brand name on our own product page, so it is not repeated here. What the glasses do is described above.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. This shop's own returns policy gives you 15 days from purchase to send it back in its original packaging with proof of purchase, and we refund the price you paid for the goods.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the box?
Knee pads, safety glasses and leather gloves. It is a kit, not a single item.
What are the pads made of?
Three layers: gel and foam inside, rubber in the middle, and a hard thermoplastic shell outside.
Will they fit over work trousers?
Yes. Two 25.4 cm strap extenders come in the box for exactly that.
Do they slip on smooth floors?
The listing describes them as slip resistant and safe on any surface. The hard shell lets you slide deliberately rather than catch.
Will the straps cut behind my knee?
The buckle and strap system is designed to hold without restricting the joint. Set the strap below the knee bend rather than across it.
Are they comfortable for a full day?
The foam-encased double gel core is the part doing that work. It conforms to the knee rather than compressing flat.
What colour are they?
Yellow and black.
How heavy is the kit?
1 kg, per the listing.
Are they suitable for tiling?
Yes. Hard shells over gel are the usual choice for tiling and flooring work.
Can I use them for gardening?
Yes. Anything that involves kneeling for long stretches.
Are the included glasses any good?
The listing describes them as fog and scratch resistant with UV protection. If you need glasses that fit over prescription eyewear, the protective glasses on this site are made for that.
What are the included gloves like?
The listing describes them as non-slip with reinforced padded palms, for general to medium utility work including water and oil.
Can I buy the pads without the kit?
Not as listed. Contact us if you want the pads alone and we will ask the supplier.
Do the shells crack in the cold?
The listing does not give a temperature range. Thermoplastic is used because it holds up better than rigid plastic, but check with us if you work in extreme cold.
How do I clean them?
Wipe the shells and let the padding dry fully before storing. Do not put them in a machine.
Will they fit a smaller person?
The straps adjust down as well as up. The extenders are for the top of the range.
Is there a left and a right?
The listing does not distinguish them, so they are symmetrical.
Do they meet a New Zealand standard?
The listing does not claim a certification. Contact us if your workplace requires certified knee protection.
Can I replace just a strap?
Not listed on the site. Contact us with the part you need.
How long do they last?
Until the shell cracks or the gel stops rebounding. Both are visible on inspection.
Will they mark a finished floor?
The shells are smooth plastic. Grit caught underneath is what marks a floor, so wipe them before you work on a finished surface.
Are they good for concreting?
Yes, and rinse them afterwards. Wet cement is hard on straps.
Is there a warranty?
They carry the consumer guarantees of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
Can I buy them for a crew?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with your quantity.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Prices are in New Zealand dollars.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in New Zealand on orders of $100 or more. Under $100 it is a flat $25. Express delivery is $25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Every price on this site is in New Zealand dollars, and the only thing added to your total is delivery if your order is under $100.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase. The item needs to be in its original packaging and you need your receipt or order confirmation. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
