Why should I wear MAGNEE knee pads instead of strapped pads?

In short, we have a saying here at JP Ventures LLC, “typical knee pads with straps are the “Uncomfortable Good” and MAGNEE Strapless Knee Pads are the “Comfortable Best”! 

Here is why-- As the name implies MAGNEE “Strapless” Knee Pads have no straps! Typical knee pads that use uncomfortable straps compress the pad to the leg and knee areas restricting blood circulation and cause abrasions to the back of the knee. MAGNEE Strapless Magnetic Attaching Knee pads use “Dual Pad Technology” that combines two pads, an inner pad and outer pad and powerful magnets to lock in place between the pant material by magnetic attraction to give you twice the amount of protection and twice the comfort per knee and eliminate all the discomforts associated with knee pads that have straps!

Why do I need to wear knee pads?

​The knee has little protection on its own, with only a thin layer of skin and muscle over the kneecap, or patella. If you are on your knees for a length of time or if you fall on your knee when it's bent, there's not much cushion there to keep you from bruising and/or breaking the patella bone or pushing it out of place, often tearing ligaments or muscles in the process. Using knee pads can help reduce your chance of knee injury and problems later on in life.
