Summary: Don't buy the hype
Comment: I have been in the buiding trade for 32 years and a custom home builder for the last 18 years. I only buy top quality tools. Unfortunately, I got suckered on this knee pad. I didn't read the reviews before buying (but then again I bought from another vendor).

I haven't had the gel issue mentioned by other raters, but I have had serious comfort issues. If I wear them over jeans, they slide everywhere, unless I cinch them down to the point of the pad becoming a torniquet. If I wear them when I have shorts on, its like having two sheets of 60 grit sandpaper rubbing against the back of my knee all day. I finally get to the point that I rip them off and throw them across the job site.

At the price of these pads, you definitely are NOT getting what you pay for! Don't waste your hard earned money on these junk pads!
Customer Rating:
Summary: very weak kneepads
Comment: The "gel" in these kneepads is a joke. Within 20 minutes of wearing them while installing hardwood flooring, the gell was all squished to the edges of the insert and I might as well have had no knee pads on at all. The outter shell/holder was an acceptable device once I removed the gel pads and inserted a piece of firm closed cell foam (from a gardeners kneeling pad)
Customer Rating:
Summary: terribly disappointing
Comment: I do not usually write any kind of product reviews online but after having spent $60 on kneepads only to suffer through a two week install I feel compelled to prevent others from making the same mistake as I. The entire premise of this pad is flawed in that the gel packet is not fixed inside of the cap allowing it to move out of place and then the packet itself has little channels in it so the gel stuff moves away from the point of greatest load where you need the protection most. After about five minutes on your knees, the gel has oozed off to the side, the neoprene (completely stretched out after two weeks use) has allowed the exterior plastic cap to slide over as well, and your knee is wedged against the edge of the plastic cap. I had very high hopes and was terribly disappointed.

Summary: Patella Pain Pads
Comment: I am an avid weekend carpenter and like to wear knee protection to help save wear and tear on my knees. I recently wore out a $17 pair of basic knee pads from my local supply store. I had heard about these Patella pads and thought I'd give them a try. They are pricey, but if comfortable, that would be OK. I have to tell you that these pads have a serious design flaw. The gel pads do not stay in position during use. The strap system they have looks great with nice velcro strips, but they are not effective in holding the pads in place. Plus, the abrasion on the back of your legs is more painful that not wearing knee pads at all. Save some cash and buy the G3 Ultra gel pads, or the basic $17 ones from HD, both are far better than these Patella pads.

Summary: Pads someone's pocket
Comment: Fluid Forms 1002F Patella T knee pads are one of the most disappointing purchases I have made. The pads slide from side to side and slip top to bottom. Because I am on a fixed income I try to purchase the "best" but I sure was fooled this time. In addition to crawling around alot, I also fall often due to MS and I count on knee pads to take some of the impact. My previous pair of twenty dollar pads peformed vastly better. Someone send postage and you can have them. Me, I'm headed for town to buy another twenty dollar pair.
