PROKNEE kneepads offer you a choice of two thickness options (5/8in and 1in), so determining which one is right for you ultimately comes down to preference to suit your comfort level.

Says the company, ‘More than 75% of our customers prefer 1in cushion inserts and we recommend them if you work on your knees more than eight hours a day, have had any knee problems or surgery, if you weigh more than 90kg or if you prefer the maximum protection we offer.

‘However, some of our customers who have thinner legs or smaller builds (men and women alike) prefer the 5/8in when it comes to getting a better knee cup fit. 5/8in does provide a deeper knee cup shape, but less cushioning.

‘Our replaceable custom laminated cushions utilise open-cell technology. This super resilient, soft type of foam provides even tension as the weight of your body is applied to the cushion. Open cell technology enables the cushions to not break down after the impact of eight-plus hour day-after-day use, which means this type of cushion performs like new for years, rather than a few short months.

‘This performance is what we refer to as consistent compression spring-back, which helps absorb shock out of day-to-day wear-and-tear from kneeling. These features additionally help to support the meniscus by stabilising the area around the knee-joint from excessive movement as weight is applied, which reduces joint wear-out and knee burn pain: the key to happy, healthy knees.’

The company concludes, ‘Many of our customers find that over the course of years, they wear in like a great pair of leather boots and opt to keep their old cushions. However, all of ProKnee’s parts are completely replaceable, aside from the frames, so you can upgrade just the parts you need, (like our cushions) or get a complete rebuild kit to give your well-worn kneepads a refresh for a fraction of the cost of new.
