Snickers - World's first built-in certified kneepads now available in store
World's first built-in certified kneepads
Snickers Workwear has been inventing - and reinventing - workwear since 1975. And now they’re doing it again with the launch of the world’s first built-in, certified kneepads completely integrated into a pair of premium stretch trousers. With low-profile, lightweight, and flexible kneepads, these trousers provide a freedom of movement and comfort that usually only comes with no kneepads at all.
Slim-fit trousers for everyday use
These hard-working trousers feature an enhanced flexibility thanks to a 2-way stretch fabric and additional 4-way stretch panels at key stress points. CORDURA® reinforced holster, ruler, and cargo, pockets add a durable functionality for your everyday-carry. And our new durable yet lightweight Capsulized™ kneepads provide an ergonomic, always-on protection during your entire workday.
The making of Capsulized™
Our new Capsulized™ kneepads are welded together with 196° C of pressurised heat. On the outside is a layer of durable CORDURA® stretch fabric. Then comes an adhesive layer for flexibility that connects the CORDURA® to the first performance layer of high-density blue foam. This blue foam has a 110 kg density of impact absorption. Then comes a purple shield of high-density recycled rubber that delivers a whopping 238 kg density of penetration protection. That’s topped by a comfort layer of grey foam with an additional 80 kg density. Finally a backend of polyester fabric seals the other layers onto the trouser leg and provides a comfortable surface for the wearer.
