Absolutely love them. And does not show that you have any pads with your pants

I just don’t get why the knee pad insert area has always been so long and the knee pads are so small. Either make a long shin/ knee pad insert or shorten the insert area on pants please. These are better than the previous little inserts I bought from Work World but they’re still barely going to my knees. I’m thinking of lining them up and sewing in a few spots to keep them in place

Working in flooring installation these knee pads help with cushioning the knee. Absolutely no strap irritation like other strap on pads these are easy to insert in the pants and just stay in. Very convenient to not have to keep up with the pads because once inserted in pants they are there for next use. Definitely recommend these knee pads. The knee pads do make the knee portion of the pants a little stiffer. Ordering from carhartt was easy and the order arrived before estimated arrival date.

I've been using these pads for about a month now, and I only wish I'd gotten them sooner. They installed easily, they've proved washable, and they're a real boon. I work outside a lot, and previously I sometimes used strap-on knee pads - but they were uncomfortable, tended to slide around, and I had to know in advance when I'd be needing them. OTOH, the Carthartt integrated pads are always present & in the right place - so when I suddenly find I need to get down on my knees to work, there's no problem. They perhaps added a wee bit of stiffness to the pant knees, but my Carehartts are work pants (not running pants), so I haven't noted any problem. (Even during hikes!)

When I first received the knee pads I didn’t think that they would be very good because of how thin they are. I was (happily) wrong! There’s a lot of protection in these pads. I wish I had ordered them a long time ago!

Paired up with the Carhartt relaxed fit jeans with built-in pad pockets, this combination is by far the best fit of any combo I've had. Lightweight, flexible, and much better cushion than the black "foam/rubber" style pads I had before.

These pads are very comfortable to wear at all times. Sometimes I forget that I even have them on.

These knee pads are wonderful. There are no wrap around straps that rub the back of your knee all day. There's not setup time when you want to kneel. They are there when you need it, without being annoying. The only improvement I could only ever ask Carhartt is for an even thicker version someday.

Glad I got these to fit my double front pants. Knee saver for sure!

Lightweight and very durable. Doesn’t even feel like I have them on

I own multiple pairs of standard cotton duck overalls and multiple pairs of flex overalls, all the same size. I purchased the recommended size, medium, for my overalls.

These kneepads are amazing in the cotton duck overalls but useless in the flex. The constantly fall out of the bottom of the pocket, bunch up, slide to the inner shin (completely missing your knee). They are far more problem than they are worth.

Also, they are more of a shin pad than a knee pad. the cover a significant portion of the shin and only the lower 1/2 of the knee.

Maybe if they were 2 inches wider and 4 inches taller they would work well. Who knows, it's too late to return or exchange them and I'm not spending more money to 'find out'

Best knee pads EVER!

I WILL BE GOING BACK TO MY CUT A THICK GARDEN KNEE PAD AND SAVE BIG $$$$$$$

They seem durable and are a must to keep your knees dry kneeling at the fishing hole.

Honestly, super easy to put in and super comfortable, except that mine always ends up down the knee, therefore, it doesn't do it's job for me....

I feel like these a too small for my pants size. I took a medium, wearing 36 pants, but I'd have to try a large ... Well, as said, when well positioned, it's awesome !

They do tend to roll up inside of the knee "pocket" when in the washer and/or the dryer and they are difficult to straiten back out. It would be helpful if they could be removed via a zipper on the top of the pocket prior to washing. this would also allow them to be shared when you own more than one pair of overalls. They are nice to have in place and at the ready when you need them!

shoulda bought em years ago

These are wonderful. I was skeptical at first since some I have tried were thicker. But these work great. I love being able to wash in pants.

They don’t fit. The pads are too large and shaped wrong to fit in the knee pockets. I followed Carhartt instructions on sizing, ordering, and installing the pads. The problem might be with my Carhartt pants knee pockets, not the pads. The pockets don’t seem to be rectangular, but rather have “intrusions” in from one side. When they are positioned correctly they are great at lessening the strain and pain in my old knees. I am going to try to get the pads back out (far easier said than done!) so I can trim them down and try again.

Finally found knee protection that works!! These do not require adjustment every time I stand, kneel, or move about on my knees.

Did not know they had these, wish I had them before this would have bought them along time ago.

Debated for way too long wether or not these would be worth the money. Couldn't be happier, it's nice to know anytime you have to go to a knee... Concrete work, carpentry etc... You have built in knee pads. Very comfortable and I wash the pants with the knee pads in with no issue.

very good protection

Brilliant. No slipping or sliding around, don't even know they are there (until work requires me to knee) so I never remove them! Very comfortable.

I don’t know they are there until I kneel down. Keeps my knees warm when I am kneeling on cold or wet ground for extended times. Definitely worth the price.

Although I felt these were overpriced to begin with, I was already spending $200+ on a pair of yukon bibs so I figured WTH, might as well try these knee pads out. My initial impression of these upon receiving them was one of intrigue. I found the design and functionality of these knee pads to be original and innovative. But the first thing everyone I showed them to mentioned, was that they are not soft at all. It wasn't until I really got to put these to use that I realised just how right everyone was. Granted, I have bony knees but man was I left scratching my head wondering so many questions. Why are these so expensive? Why are there so many positive reviews? Why would these not be padded whatsoever? Why wouldn't they have even just a thin layer of actual cushion? Why would the issue of these becoming rock hard and even more unforgiving when introduced to cold temperatures not have already been addressed? Why (considering I ordered the corresponding and suggested size) is there still so much wiggle room for these to become out of place and really do a number on my knees when I go to kneel and come down on an edge? Why have these glaring issues been hashed out in the R&D stage? And lastly, I find myself asking, Why did I buy these expensive, uncomfortable, hard and subsequently redundant, padless knee pads?
I cannot recommend purchasing these.
I Wouldn't mind having my money back so I could put it towards a pair (or two) of cushioned, protective, comfortable, functional kneepads...

Great combo with the Carhartt pants/Jean/dungarees. Protect the knee and areas just above and below very nicely. Not to bulky and do not add too much heat to the area. Really love them. Highly recommend!!!!

Nice on the Knees. sofar sogood!

Hubby loves these!

Definitely an awesome product. But the sizing is all wrong. I have the 36 waist Bibs and they recommend a medium knee pad. They were way too small for the double knee part of the bibs and never stayed in the center. And more often than not they would start poking out the bottom. I ended up having to buy another pair of the large. So I just used Amazon and got them the next day rather than waiting another 2 weeks for Carhartt Shipping.

These Knee Pads are very light weight and still offer plenty of protection.

Knee pads are great. Had to trim the top of one to get it to go in by the pocket stitching.

I really wanted to like these pads, but the chief thing holding them back is the pants that can use them. Looking through Carhartt's catalog, I found only one pair of pants where the pads are inserted through the top.

I have a pair of pants that are excellent and durable, but their chief weakness is the pads are inserted into the pockets from the bottom. Because you can't have the pads falling out, there's a very small opening. Inserting the pads is painful and removing them is even worse.

Unfortunately, the pants I have are no longer an active product so I can't leave a review for it. So Carhartt product designers, I have a suggestion:

Make future double-front pants with top-loading kneepad pockets. Your competitors do so there's no reason you can't.

The padding is fine from a comfort perspective and you don't get the 'sweat behind the strap' issue. They were more comfortable than they looked. I ordered the medium based on the size of my pants and these pants have the top load feature. I have run into issues with them lining up with my knee when I kneel on occasion. I cant tell if its the pants rotating the knee pad out of alignment or the pad shifting in the knee pad pocket. Not sure if the larger knee pad would have filled the pocket better and then I wouldn't have the issue. Overall they are fine.

Good for accidental times you put knee down but not for very rough or long periods

Love these inserts makes kneeling easy and saves me from discomfort and sweetie knees thanks carhartt for making my day..

These function as designed when you need them. When you don't, they blend in and you forget you're wearing them. I have them in all my Carhartt's.

This is the second pair I’ve bought and really wish they were less expensive. I especially like them when I’m out bucking trees because you can drop down on your knees with the comfort of knowing there isn’t going to be a rock that digs into my kneecaps.

Yeah, they're expensive but they're worth it if you have to get down to do a good job and your knees hurt.

I’ve always hated, ABSOLUTELY HATED, knee pads. I never wanted everyone to see this big bulky chunky pieces of fabric and other materials. These are so comfortable, I could wear these every single day for the rest of my life while sleeping and I would still forget I have them on. I’m usually found on my knees drawing lines or measuring. I wanted to take care of myself so i did some research and found these.

Great Idea! work great

When it gets below room temperatures-ish they start to get stiff and anything at 30degress they are hard and not very pliable. There not bad but I do find myself using cheap neoprene inserts instead as they aren't affected from low-er temperatures. UPPER MIDWEST

I can't speak for durability at this point even three months in nor on quality and umm appearance...seems irrelevant..its knee pad soo yea

I really love the knee pads. Makes my job so much easier when working on scaffolding.
Loss of 1 Start is because when I ordered (on-line) the pants didn't specify what size knee pad goes with them. I ordered a Medium knee pad, but find that there is a lot of room in the panel. I will order a large size next time.

With age my knees hurt a lot. They are expensive but I bought a pair to see if they would help. After trying them out I have got enough for all my double front pants.

Love these, always on !

I wasted my Groundbreaker Loyalty Points so I could purchase a pair of these knee pads. I am a nature photographer and wear the Carhartt Women's Wildwood Bib Overalls and also, the Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Steel Cargo Pant; both are knee pad compatible.

These knee pads do not perform well/comfortably in either of my pants. In the overalls they slide around, roll up, shift and literally pad only my shins. In the cargo pants (which are top-loading) they slide so far down that they stick out the bottom cleanout-opening - in other words, peeking out from the tastefully hued, Tarmac-colored pant leg is an ugly acidic green knee pad. More importantly, my kneecaps roll off the edges of the honeycomb-shaped pads when I kneel to take photographs.

While I am grateful I did not spend $39.99 on these knee pads I am furious that I wasted my Loyalty Points. I'll go back to wearing my comfortable Ace Brand Compression Knee Sleeves...I really regret trying the Carhartt brand; I assumed they would be a perfect fit b/c they are made for use with "compatible" pants, but I was wrong.

I wear my Carhartts most days and I was very excited to try these out. They kneepads are durable and insert easily into the pockets. Unfortunately - they often slip down and peek out below the pocket/they also run a little too short and it's hit or miss as to whether they are under my knee when I kneel down. Great concept and nice construction but sadly a fail for me.

Exactly as expected. These were a gift for my son and he was pleased.

Easy to install. No friction, binding when you kneel. Seemed a little too hard until you put them to work. They are softer on the knees than when you squeeze them between your fingers. Had a 4# hammer whack me on pad, operator error; sure glad I had the kneepad buffer. Not recommended application, but helped for sure. Puts a nice insulating layer between a pair of old fart knees and frozen ground/ concrete.

Great knee pads easy on the backs of the knee haven’t had long enough for the durability rating but so far so good
