Lightweight kneepads

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Redbacks Cushioning has launched a new knee pad for pocketed work trousers which incorporates a ‘direction of force’ design, said to protect the wearer from potential dangers of impact through continuous kneeling.

20% lighter than its predecessor, with a thicker grade of spacer fabric, the new kneepads feature a soft and flexible thermo plastic elastomer leaf-spring, with increased durability, set within a honeycomb matrix.

Redbacks are ergonomically designed knee pads tuned with patented leaf spring technology. According to Redbacks. they are scientifically proven to absorb impact and reduce shock on knees, back and neck, and provide a ‘floating-on- air’ feel, along with the protection and comfort.

Cliff Lockyer, CEO of Redbacks Cushioning, says: “Our patented kneepads differ from any others in the world and have been tested and proven to outperform foam kneepads. The lighter weight gives all-day comfort and the ‘direction of force’ flexibility ensures the even distribution of the impact forces when kneeling.”
