No-Strap Knee Pad Inserts for Work Pants, 6" x 9", Construction Protection

These things are great! I use them in both my Duluth overalls as well as in my Patagonia work pants. I never take them out - just leave them in and throw the pants in the washer. I don't dry my clothes on high heat, as I'd be a little cautious about doing that. But so far these things haven't warped or done anything other than just keep doing their job.

These are great for everyday use. My husband only wears double duck carhartts (size 30x32) and these are tricky to get in the itty bitty knee holes but once they're in they fit perfectly. On the downside it's humanly impossible to get these out of his pants. However leaving them in doesn't bother him, he doesn't feel them while walking around and they're not entirely noticeable. For cushioning quality he says they aren't like traditional knee pads in the sense you knees don't experience any pain BUT they do make every day man stuff less annoying and painful. Like kneeling down on the ground you don't notice every microscopic Pebble that renders you immobile once you knee hits it. So far we have ordered four pairs in total and washed all of them inside the pants and they've held up completely. They don't seem to hinder drying time either which was a small concern for me. I highly recommend these!! **UPDATE** We’ve had four pairs of these knees pads for a year and I can confidently say they have outlasted my husbands carhartt pants. We actually had to cut them out of the knees of his old pants and put them in his new pants (32x32 he gained a little weight lol) and they still fit perfectly. He actually refused to wear his new pants until I put these in for him. Washing and and drying them hasn’t seemed to damage the pads in anyway and they haven’t compressed very much from daily use.

So far these seem great. Only been wearing them for about a week but they seem to be as advertised. Haven't washed them in the pants yet but will update after I do so. I put these in my Tru-Spec pants. They don't completely fill the pocket but every time I kneel they are right in place to protect my knees. If these wash and wear as advertised I will definitely be buying more. Update: 8/20/2017 Ok, so I washed them once following the directions on the package. Everything seems fine so far. I am impressed enough to order 3 more pairs for my Tru-Spec pants. They say the pants will wear out before the pads do. I have 2 pair of Tru-Spec I have worn constantly for over a year with no signs of wearing out. I will update in the future to let you know how the pads last versus the pants. Update: 8/31/2018 Ok boys and girls, it's been over a year now of wash and wear with these pads in my Tru-Spec pants. Both are doing amazingly well. Washing a pair weekly (Following Directions) and NEVER removing the pads from the pants. They still feel as padded as when I first put them in. Love these pads!! If something catastrophic happens I will post again. Right now I am a very happily knee protected user. Update: 10/13/2019 Alright kiddies over 2 years now and all I do is wash and wear, wash and wear, wash and wear …. Neither the pads or the pants show any signs of giving up. Haven't taken the pads out to look at them but every time I kneel down and feel them still giving excellent protection I know they are just fine. It's like the pads and the pants are taking this challenge seriously. Will keep you posted on the outcome.

Put these in a pair of Wrangler Rigs with the double knee. (size 32x34) Fits well and works awesome for my different jobs. These have lessened serious knee impacts a couple times on ladders and platforms as well as giving a lot of cushion for up and down work and maneuvering myself around equipment. I also like these for welding and fabrication when my larger projects have to be built on the floor or broken equipment is at too low a level to work on while standing. These do go up with me for wind turbine maintenance (as per recommendation from turbine techs saying a good set of pads will change your whole working experience) and they take the sting out of kneeling on perforated metal grates or uneven surfaces. Actually I can't find anything wrong with these pads except two things. They are expensive (hence 4 stars). They have the company name molded into the pad and it creates a thin area in the side of the pad..... I wish they were just plain without the name, you never see it anyway... That thin spot has caught me off guard a couple times if the pad shifts to the side somewhat. I machine wash mine in my jeans and just pull the jeans out to hang dry while the rest of the load goes into the dryer. No issues with several washes already. These may outlive a pair of jeans, I wouldn't be surprised.

Husband lives these. Saves his knees at work and are light weight and durable. They fit right in his double knee carhartts.

I really like these compared to over the knee type pads that I have used before. I find these pads stay in place once they are inside the double front knee of my pants and the amount of padding is just right for me. I was fixing seventy feet of cedar fence and had to do a lot of kneeling down on river rock spread around the bottom of the fence, and my knees were so much more comfortable than the previous day when I didn't have the pads. I did find that they took some work to get inserted in to the double front knee on my pants. Out of two pairs of double front Carhartt logger jeans that I had, only one pair had an opening in the bottom of the knee that was large enough for me to fit the rolled up pads into. It took a few minutes to get each pad in, but with a little patience I was slowly able to work the pad through into the knee area. Once the pads are installed, they aren't too noticeable. They area slightly visable through the jeans. I haven't noticed any problems with washing the pads inside the jeans. I would recommend these.

These are over priced. They barely get the job done, because they are so thin. The only good thing is that you have plenty of length to cut to the size you need. They're not very wide either. I would have probably gave them another star if they were a lot cheaper. They would be a decent deal at about half this price. I would only buy these if you needed your knee pads to be extra long. If not, there are better options. And those better options are actually cheaper.

I am very pleased with Soft Knees. Although they were slightly difficult to put in place. (Dickey's double knee painter pants), once in they worked great. As a matter of fact, the first time I keeled, I forgot I had them, and, they performed remarkably. I have used them now for about 2 weeks. They were washed in place twice with no problems after the washing. I think they would be great for any worker (painter, carpenter, etc.) or home owner who will be on their knees several times throughout the day. These are much better than my "strapped" knee pads, as I never have to readjust the Soft Knees, they are always in place. They are very comfortable and do a great job of protecting my knees. The only drawback I can find, is, if you are sitting around for an extended period of time, they do seem warm. But, I do not consider that a problem, and, based on all the pluses, easily gave it 5 stars. P.S. The price was right too.
