Product Overview
The KP65 Gel Foam Stabiliser Knee Pad is a robust solution for professionals who spend significant portions of their working day on their knees. Engineered to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty use, these pads combine a hard-wearing exterior shell with a sophisticated interior to mitigate the physical toll of manual labour. The design focuses on stability, ensuring that the wearer remains balanced and secure even on uneven surfaces, which is essential for both safety and precision in trade work.
Key Features
- Gel Foam Interior: The soft gel foam interior provides exceptional cushioning, distributing pressure evenly across the knee joint to reduce fatigue during long shifts.
- Duck-Bill Design: This specific ergonomic shape is engineered to provide a broader base for better weight distribution and enhanced stability while kneeling.
- Stabilising Cap Exterior: The hard outer cap offers a flat, secure surface that prevents rocking or slipping, protecting the knee from sharp objects and debris.
- Adjustable Straps: Featuring easily adjustable fastenings, these pads ensure a tight and secure fit that stays in place as you move around the site.
- One Size Fits All: The versatile design accommodates various leg sizes, making them a practical choice for a diverse workforce.
Design & Performance
These knee pads are manufactured to meet EN 14404: 2004 + A1: 2010 Type 1 Level 1 standards, confirming their effectiveness in protecting against impact and puncture. Despite their substantial and sturdy feel, the materials used ensure they do not become a burden during movement. The black finish is professional and hides the inevitable scuffs of a construction environment. The combination of a hard-shell exterior and the shock-absorbing gel interior creates a high-performance barrier between the wearer and the floor, ensuring long-term joint health.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of protective personal equipment (PPE) designed with a hard-shell exterior and technical gel padding, this item is not suitable for customisation. Applying embroidery would compromise the integrity of the protective materials, while printing would not adhere effectively to the high-friction, abrasive surfaces of the stabiliser caps. We recommend focusing on customising your work trousers or tops to maintain your corporate branding.
Use Cases
These knee pads are ideal for floor layers, tilers, plumbers, and carpenters who require maximum stability on hard or uneven floors. They are equally suited for heavy construction workers and landscapers who need a durable, reliable barrier against gravel, concrete, and cold surfaces.

Practical Advice
When fitting your knee pads, ensure the straps are firm enough to prevent the pad from sliding down during movement, but avoid over-tightening to maintain healthy circulation. For the best experience, we suggest wearing these over high-quality work trousers with reinforced knees to provide an additional layer of protection.
Caring for your product
To ensure your knee pads continue to provide maximum protection and stability, regular maintenance is required. Keeping the exterior caps clean of grit and debris will prevent unnecessary wear on the surfaces you are working on.
We recommend wiping the hard shell and straps with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can degrade the plastic shell and weaken the adjustable straps over time. Do not submerge the pads fully in water, as this can affect the integrity of the internal gel foam. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
