About the Poly Shield Knee Pads
- Fully stitched cap stays on the pad and keeps rocks and debris out.
- High density foam a lightweight core that cushions your knees through the day.
- Poly shield lets you rock smoothly from side to side as you work.
- Tapered design with 1-1/2 in hook-and-loop closures that keep the pad positioned.
Outdoor kneeling brings grit, pebbles and uneven ground. The cap on these pads is fully stitched to the pad, so it resists popping off, and rocks and debris stay out. The poly shield lets you rock smoothly as you reach and turn. You can move across a patio or garden bed without a stone working its way inside.
The pads are tough nylon fabric with a high density foam core. The foam is lightweight and cushions your knee. A tapered shape and 1-1/2 in hook-and-loop closures help keep each pad positioned on your leg. The colors are black and white, and the pads slip on over any work pants.

These pads carry foam, not gel. If you kneel on concrete or tile for hours, the Gel Stabilizer Knee Pads add thick gel-foam and a duck-bill cap. For finished hardwood or laminate, the Non-Marring Knee Pads are the pair built not to scuff.
Use and care
- Brush dirt off the nylon and wipe the cap clean after outdoor work.
- Clean lint and grass out of the hook-and-loop closures so they keep their grip.
- Let the pads air dry before storage so the foam core does not stay damp.

Poly Shield Knee Pads: questions
Will the cap come off?
The cap is fully stitched to the pad, which gives it strength against popping off. The stitching also keeps rocks and debris from getting inside the pad.
How do they stay in place?
A tapered design and 1-1/2 in hook-and-loop closures help keep each pad positioned. Snug the closures over your pants before you kneel, and readjust if they shift.
