Ergodyne announces Gel Knee Pad updates and additions

September 25, 2013

Vendor NewsErgodyne has announced today the expansion of their ProFlex® Gel Knee Pad Series as well as the addition of two new models: the ProFlex® 344 Broad Cap Injected Gel Knee Pad with Articulating Straps and the ProFlex® 349 Broad Cap Lightweight Gel Knee Pad.

"Our new enhancements and additions make a great knee pad line even better,” said Andy Olson, senior product manager. “Workers who ‘stand’ on their knees all day will no doubt dig the benefits of our sturdier, more supportive designs."

Models affected by the refresh include:

Updated garments:

ProFlex® 342 Extra Long Cap Injected Gel Knee Pad

ProFlex® 345 Long Cap Injected Gel Knee Pad

ProFlex® 347 Long Cap Lightweight Gel Knee Pad

ProFlex® 355 Short Cap Injected Gel Knee Pad

ProFlex® 357 Short Cap Lightweight Gel Knee Pad

ProFlex® 367 Low-Profile Lightweight Gel Knee Pad

​New garments:

ProFlex® 344 Broad Cap Injected Gel Knee Pad w/ Articulation

ProFlex® 349 Broad Cap Lightweight Gel Knee Pad

Make your day a "cush" one by choosing a gel knee pad. As shown in the list above, you will still find the same reliable injected gel and lightweight gel knee pad options. Half of the models feature 100% Injected Gel fused together with high-density PU foam for the most comfortable, durable gel kneeling experience available. The other half combine the lightweight gel option with EVA foam delivering optimal mobility and comfort. Improvements are focused specifically on the knee pad caps and straps. Short cap models utilize a more rounded cap shape with employing the patented suspension design for an improved kneeling experience. Most models now feature updated strap configurations resulting in a much better fit.

"These are the best knee pads in the biz," said Tom Votel, president and CEO. "If you’re looking for increased comfort, enhanced productivity, and, well, much happier knees, choose ProFlex® Gel Knee Pads and don’t look back."

Ideal for any and all kneeling workers, especially those who move around frequently on their knees, select models are available beginning mid-October through the end of the year at all authorized Ergodyne distributors.
