The BEST knee pads!
Bought the 1st pair of these Thunderbolt Platinum Pro Knee Pads maybe 4-5 years ago (at a big box store) as a gift for my husband, to replace the worn out pair of “soft front” knee pads he was using while renovating our house. He absolutely loved them. He said that they had much better and thicker cushioning (gel + foam) and that the silicone front pads provided much more support and protection to his knees than the old soft knee pads he was using. The wide vecro straps stay secure, and are well above and below your knee so they don’t roll up or bunch up directly behind your knee. Now, he wears them all the time - anytime he puts his work boots on to work on a project around the house, he puts his Thunderbolt Knee pads on. In fact, he has worn the velcro straps out from wearing them so many times! We went back to the big box store to purchase a new/replacement pair. Unfortunately, the store no longer carried the Thunderbolt brand knee pads and only stocked “their own brand”. He tried on several similar knee pads while at the store and couldn’t find anything he liked as much or were as comfortable as the Thunderbolt Knee Pads. He asked me to “please find my Thunderbolt Knee pads online and buy them for me.” So here I am, writing this review. Can’t think of a better endorsement than my husband’s. Thunderbolt Platinum Pro Knee Pads are extremely comfortable, easy to wear, and are definitely durable. Well worth getting yourself a pair (your knees will thank me ;-)

Comfortable knee Pad
These knee pads are a game-changer! They offer superb support and are incredibly comfortable, even with extended wear. The thigh support, secured with user-friendly velcro straps, is a standout feature – it provides a snug fit without any uncomfortable tightness. I've tried other brands that felt restrictive, but these are clearly designed with superior ergonomics. The padding is top-notch, ensuring excellent protection, and despite their durability, they remain surprisingly non-bulky. Highly recommend!

Strong Rubber Smell
Very comfortable. Love the longer straps. Does not pinch or fall down. The rubber smell was the worst part. Took a couple of days to air out and I heavily used baking soda. Still has a slight rubber smell and I hope over time the smell will completely fade.

Worth it
Excellent product! I'm a very large man and had my doubts when I ordered them but I was pleasantly surprised! Very good fit and very soft when working with them on. These are undoubtedly the best knee pads I've ever owned

Comfortable and durable.
I'm demo/remodeling and have to be on my knees a lot and these really help. They are comfortable and prevent my knees from hurting on tiles, broken up tiles and subfloor. The hard surface has saved my knees from missed, exposed tacks and nails.

Very Good
I use these to install flooring and trim. The softer panel allows me to use them and not scratch the new surfaces.They fit well and stay up fairly well. The padding on the inside gives me the cushion I need.After a full day my knees feel much better.Don’t know yet how long they will last, seem to be fairly well made. Will be purchasing again when these wear out.

Very comfortable and initially great...but won’t stay up
Edit: 3 months in and these are just like all the rest. I think I pull these up 50 times a day. What is unique about these, is the velcro is starting to attach to everything but itself. It’s really quite annoying. These are still some of the most comfortable knee pads I have owned, and I really like them...but they just won’t stay up!Wow, where have these been all my life. I have been working over oversized crushed stone In a crawl space for a couple of weeks. Crawl spaces are hard enough without sharp rocks digging into you. Knee pads are not one of my go to tools. I have had a pair for 10 years that have been worn but I usually just grab cardboard or something. I decided this would be a good time to pull them out. After a few hours, i quickly realized my old knee pads were better but still not comfortable. A few more hours and my iPhone was out shopping for knee pads on amazon. These stood out to me because of their Velcro extensions which has always been a problem for my. It’s usually a choice between constantly pulling them up or nearly cutting the circulation off to your feet. Probably one of the reasons I don’t wear them more.These are perfect...they are built more anatomically correct and flex in several areas — not just one hinge. What’s better I can walk with these on and not have to readjust them.These knee pads will probably be used a whole lot more because they work - they stay in place and the provide undeniable comfort. I cannot see how you could go wrong with these. Not only would I buy these again, I would recommend them to anyone.
