Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars Garden Knee Pads Plus #9437Customer Review: some serious drawbacks Summary: 3 StarsMy husband gave these to me a few seasons ago, and he chose them because of the great reviews. Today I'm on Amazon searching for a new type. Although the knee pads themselves are very comfy, and the plastic cap is a definite plus, I have some serious problems with these knee pads. First, because they don't curve at the top, when you are kneeling in dirt or mulch, you cannot help but end up with dirt or mulch getting into the space between your knee and the pad. These make it less comfortable; especially the mulch, which sticks on the fabric, and can be hard to pick out without leaving behind little splinters to bug you for the rest of your day. Second, while the straps seem comfy to start, and stay comfy if you keep your butt up in the air, they quickly become very uncomfy if you sit back on your heels (especially if you are wearing shorts so your legs are bare). This might be a general design flaw of knee pads, I don't know. But when you sit back, they wrinkle some, and the section with the velcro (which won't wrinkle because it's too thick) starts digging into the back of your calf and thigh. If the velcro isn't lined up right, you end up getting poked with the hard pokey parts of the velcro. If you stay back on your heels for any length of time, you'll end up with painful red creases all of the backs of your legs. The discomfort is such that I often just take them off and use a kneeling pad (which also has the dirt and mulch problem), or just go without (which, of course, also has the dirt and mulch problem ;-) ). So today I am searching for new pads which (1) curve so that when you are kneeling, there's a section resting against your thigh so dirt and mulch can't get in so easily, and (2) attach in a way such that they hopefully won't kill the back of my legs if I want to garden while wearing shorts.
