Memory kneepads

New from Redbacks is a non-foam
based safety kneepad which
memorises its original form without
reducing the cushioning effect from
consecutive or prolonged use.

In comparison to foam materials,
which provide cushioning by air
pockets that can collapse over a short
amount of time, the thermoplastics
used in the Redbacks kneepads are
said to perform at a higher
cushioning rate for a longer period of
time.

Called Redbacks because of the
construction resembling the
markings of an Australian redback
spider, the kneepads feature a red
coloured, soft and flexible TPE
(Thermo Plastic Elastomer) leaf
spring set within a honeycomb
matrix. In addition to the memory
comfort factor, these distribute body
weight evenly, elevating the knees to
reduce pressure on knee, leg, ankle
and foot joints whilst minimising the
risk of possible injury from sharp or
penetrating objects to a resistance
force of 100N as specified by SATRA
Type 2, Level 1, and defined by
European Standard EN14404:2004 +
A1:2010.

Light, flexible and easy to fit
tightly and comfortably into most
knee-pocketed work trousers, the
breathable, non-slip pads with their
abrasive-resistant covers allow
wearers to keep cool and dry in hot
or damp
conditions and
protect the
knees from
cold surfaces.
