Description
The ProFlex 230LTR Leather Knee Pads – Wide Soft Cap are built tough with real genuine leather to provide excellent traction and knee protection from fire, slag and sparks. The leather is abrasion-resistant from the toughest work surfaces and wraps over the top of the knee pad for extra durability and a longer life for both your knees and the knee pads, even for jobs that require working on your knees daily.
They are the most comfortable leather knee pads made with nitrile rubber (NBR) foam padding that keeps its shape over time and helps avoid common knee injuries. Built slightly wider than traditional knee pads, they deliver added coverage and comfort. The non-slip dual straps easily adjust to most knee/leg sizes and the buckle closure keep the knee pad secured in place all day long without restricting circulation. An anti-odor treatment protects the inner fabric to keep your pads as fresh as the day you bought them.
Because they are made with soft leather these are the best work knee pads for construction, flooring and concrete applications. Also, the resistance to heat, fire and abrasion makes for great welding knee pads.

Knee soreness is a common issue faced by many workers who engage in manual tasks such as lifting, pushing, and pulling. If not properly addressed, it can lead to more serious conditions such as knee injuries and chronic pain. To prevent knee soreness while performing manual tasks, it is important to follow some safety measures put in place for the worksite by SafeWork Australia here.
The Ergodyne range of knee pads and knee supports are designed to protect and support the knees while performing manual tasks such as kneeling, crawling, and heavy lifting. Knee pads and supports are often used by workers in construction, maintenance, and manufacturing jobs to reduce the risk of knee injuries and to relieve knee pain caused by repetitive motions or heavy lifting.

Across Australia and New Zealand, knee protection is crucial in physically demanding industries. According to SafeWork Australia, this is a major concern in those roles that require prolonged kneeling, squatting, crouching, and working in confined spaces or on uneven surfaces, which can significantly strain and injure the knees if appropriate protective measures are not taken. This stat might bring you to your knees, but according to a report, in terms of work-related injuries, the knee accounts for 13.2% of all musculoskeletal injuries in Australia. Find out more here.
