About Snickers D3O® Ergo Craftsmen Kneepads

The Snickers D3O® Ergo Craftsmen Kneepads are top-tier protective accessories engineered for trade professionals who demand state-of-the-art impact defence during frequent, heavy-duty kneeling tasks. Crafted using world-renowned D3O® smart material technology, these flexible 100% Polyurethane (PU) kneepads remain soft and pliable during normal movement, instantly locking together upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy before returning to their flexible state.

Certified to EN 14404 Type 2 Level 1 protection standards, these kneepads safeguard against floor debris, nails, pebbles, and hard subfloor impacts. Built with a specialised shape-retaining memory profile and an ergonomic cut optimised for slim-fit trousers, they lock securely into position within Snickers' KneeGuard™ system. Best of all, they are fully machine-washable, eliminating the hassle of removing pads every time you wash your work trousers.
