Product Overview
The Super Gel Knee Pad is a vital piece of personal protective equipment designed for professionals who spend significant portions of their working day on their knees. Engineered to provide both robust protection and ergonomic support, this knee pad addresses the dual challenges of surface hazards and joint fatigue. By combining a hard-wearing outer shell with a sophisticated internal cushioning system, it ensures that your focus remains on the task at hand rather than physical discomfort.
Key Features
Strong Outer Shell: The durable exterior provides a critical barrier between your knee and sharp objects or rough surfaces, preventing punctures and bruising in demanding environments.
Silicone Gel Cushion: This inner core acts as a high-performance shock absorber, significantly reducing the impact on your joints and providing long-term comfort during extended periods of kneeling.
Traction-Based Design: The outer shell is sculpted to provide reliable grip, allowing you to move across various floor types with confidence and stability.
Elasticated Fastening: High-quality straps are designed to hold the pads securely in place without restricting circulation, ensuring they do not slip during movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed using a technical blend of PVC, Nylon, EVA foam, and Neoprene, these knee pads are built for professional durability. The PVC shell is specifically chosen for its resilience against abrasion, while the internal EVA foam and Neoprene work in tandem with the silicone gel to distribute weight evenly across the knee. This careful material selection results in a substantial, sturdy product that feels reliable without being overly cumbersome. In terms of performance, the traction pattern on the face of the pad is particularly effective on smooth or polished surfaces, where stability is paramount to safety.
Why No Customisation?
This item is classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold as-is to ensure it meets the necessary safety standards, such as EN 14404. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on this product as the application process could potentially damage the technical materials—such as the neoprene or gel core—or compromise the structural integrity that keeps you protected. Safety equipment is best left in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
These knee pads are an essential acquisition for tradespeople across several sectors. They are particularly well-suited for floor layers, tilers, and carpet fitters who require constant knee-to-floor contact. Additionally, their robust design makes them excellent for agricultural workers and roofers who may encounter uneven or debris-strewn surfaces where standard padding is insufficient.

Practical Advice
For the best experience, we recommend wearing these knee pads over a pair of dedicated work trousers. When adjusting the elasticated straps, ensure they are tight enough to prevent the pad from rotating, but loose enough to avoid pinching the back of the leg. It is often helpful to adjust the straps while in a kneeling position to find the most natural fit for your range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and hygiene of your knee pads, it is important to clean them regularly. We recommend wiping the PVC outer shell with a damp cloth and mild detergent after use. This prevents the build-up of grit or abrasive dust which could otherwise wear down the traction design or damage the nylon components.
Avoid submerging the pads completely in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the silicone gel and the structural foam layers. Allow the pads to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Prolonged exposure to high heat, such as radiators, can cause the neoprene and elastic straps to lose their elasticity, significantly shortening the lifespan of the product.
