Product Overview
The KP44 CE Knee Pad represents an essential safety solution for professionals who spend a significant portion of their working day on their knees. These pads are designed to integrate seamlessly into workwear, offering a protective barrier that reduces the physical strain and impact associated with kneeling on hard or uneven surfaces. By adhering to the latest European safety regulations, these knee pads provide the assurance required in demanding trade environments.
Key Features
- EN 14404: 2004 + A1: 2010 Type 2 Level 1 Certification: This ensures the product has been tested to meet specific European safety standards for knee protection, offering verified impact distribution for professionals.
- Sold in Pairs: We provide these as a complete set, ensuring both knees are protected simultaneously for balanced ergonomic support.
- EVA Foam Construction: The use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) provides a lightweight and flexible cushion that absorbs shock without adding unnecessary bulk to your work trousers.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade EVA foam, the KP44 is engineered for durability and user comfort. The material is inherently lightweight, meaning it does not hinder movement or cause the trousers to sag during active use. As a Type 2 knee pad, it is specifically designed to be inserted into the pre-configured pockets found on professional work trousers. Once in place, the foam contours to the shape of the knee, providing a stable and comfortable platform that facilitates longer periods of productivity without the typical discomfort associated with floor-level tasks.
Why No Customisation?
The KP44 CE Knee Pad is a functional safety insert designed to be worn internally within the knee pockets of work trousers. Because the item is not visible during use, and because any piercing of the EVA foam through embroidery or the heat application of logos would compromise the physical integrity and safety certification of the material, we do not offer customisation on this product. Our focus remains on maintaining the protective performance of this PPE.
Use Cases
These knee pads are an ideal choice for tradesmen, plumbers, and tilers who frequently work at floor level. They are also highly suitable for those in the farm and agriculture sectors, where varied and often uncomfortable kneeling positions are a daily requirement. Any professional wearing work trousers with integrated knee pad pockets will find these a necessary addition to their personal protective equipment.

Practical Advice
Before purchasing, ensure that your work trousers are equipped with internal knee pad pockets designed for Type 2 inserts. When inserting the pads, verify that they are positioned correctly to cover the kneecap when in a kneeling position, as some trousers allow for height adjustment within the pocket to suit different leg lengths.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your knee pads, we recommend removing them from your trousers before laundering. This prevents the EVA foam from being subjected to high-temperature wash cycles and mechanical agitation, which can cause the material to lose its shape or cushioning properties over time.
Should the pads become soiled, they can be easily cleaned by wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them into your trousers to prevent moisture build-up within the fabric pockets.
