CLC Work Glove Gel-TEK Swivel Kneepads One 375

The CLC 375 Gel-Tek is a pair of swivel knee pads with gel padding for work requiring kneeling.

Kneeling is a substantial part of this trade. Work at floor mounted equipment, in crawl spaces, at low level connections, and on floor registers all involve extended periods on the knees, frequently on concrete.

The damage is cumulative rather than acute. Repeated pressure and impact on the knee causes inflammation of the bursa, a condition common enough in kneeling trades to have acquired trade specific names, and it becomes chronic. Cartilage damage follows over a longer period.

The people who develop these problems are generally years into a career and did not use knee protection early on, when the damage was accumulating without symptoms.

Gel padding distributes pressure across a wider area and absorbs impact better than foam alone.

A swivel or hinged design allows the pad to move with the knee rather than sliding down or twisting, which is the main reason knee pads get abandoned. A pad that has to be repositioned constantly will be left in the van.

Fit and strap arrangement determine comfort over a working day, and straps that restrict circulation behind the knee cause their own problems.

Confirm the pads suit the surfaces and duration involved, adjust straps so they hold without constricting, and inspect for wear.
