Don't buy the hype 
2006-10-22
I have been in the buiding trade for 32 years and a custom home builder for the last 18 years. I only buy top quality tools. Unfortunately, I got suckered on this knee pad. I didn't read the reviews before buying (but then again I bought from another vendor).
I haven't had the gel issue mentioned by other raters, but I have had serious comfort issues. If I wear them over jeans, they slide everywhere, unless I cinch them down to the point of the pad becoming a torniquet. If I wear them when I have shorts on, its like having two sheets of 60 grit sandpaper rubbing against the back of my knee all day. I finally get to the point that I rip them off and throw them across the job site.
At the price of these pads, you definitely are NOT getting what you pay for! Don't waste your hard earned money on these junk pads!
very weak kneepads 2005-09-30
The "gel" in these kneepads is a joke. Within 20 minutes of wearing them while installing hardwood flooring, the gell was all squished to the edges of the insert and I might as well have had no knee pads on at all. The outter shell/holder was an acceptable device once I removed the gel pads and inserted a piece of firm closed cell foam (from a gardeners kneeling pad)
terribly disappointing 2005-01-29
I do not usually write any kind of product reviews online but after having spent $60 on kneepads only to suffer through a two week install I feel compelled to prevent others from making the same mistake as I. The entire premise of this pad is flawed in that the gel packet is not fixed inside of the cap allowing it to move out of place and then the packet itself has little channels in it so the gel stuff moves away from the point of greatest load where you need the protection most. After about five minutes on your knees, the gel has oozed off to the side, the neoprene (completely stretched out after two weeks use) has allowed the exterior plastic cap to slide over as well, and your knee is wedged against the edge of the plastic cap. I had very high hopes and was terribly disappointed.
Patella Pain Pads 2004-12-08
I am an avid weekend carpenter and like to wear knee protection to help save wear and tear on my knees. I recently wore out a $17 pair of basic knee pads from my local supply store. I had heard about these Patella pads and thought I'd give them a try. They are pricey, but if comfortable, that would be OK. I have to tell you that these pads have a serious design flaw. The gel pads do not stay in position during use. The strap system they have looks great with nice velcro strips, but they are not effective in holding the pads in place. Plus, the abrasion on the back of your legs is more painful that not wearing knee pads at all. Save some cash and buy the G3 Ultra gel pads, or the basic $17 ones from HD, both are far better than these Patella pads.
Pads someone's pocket 2003-11-05
Fluid Forms 1002F Patella T knee pads are one of the most disappointing purchases I have made. The pads slide from side to side and slip top to bottom. Because I am on a fixed income I try to purchase the "best" but I sure was fooled this time. In addition to crawling around alot, I also fall often due to MS and I count on knee pads to take some of the impact. My previous pair of twenty dollar pads peformed vastly better. Someone send postage and you can have them. Me, I'm headed for town to buy another twenty dollar pair.
Not perfect, but the best you'll find

I've been an electrician for more than 20 years, and have the shredded knee cartilage to prove it. Patella-t's have allowed me to stave off early retirement for the last three years or so. No problems with the velcro. To keep them up without interrupting circulation, you need to take some care in strapping them on: follow the instructions, and watch out for wrinkles in your pant legs. Depending on how they're deployed they can be either instruments of torture or so comfy you'll forget to take them off at the end of the day. I caught myself in the supermarket in them once. By far the best pads I've used.
must be something better

Patella T Knee Pads 
2001-07-04
VERY HAPPY with the Patella T knee pads. My knees are very damaged and I was unable to kneel on them. Using the Patella T knee pads I'm now able to kneel with comfort. These are without a doubt the BEST knee pads I've ever used.
I am quite dissatified

this was my first knee pads and i did not like them. they constantly slide down my legs,and made me sweat.
Not worth the high cost! 2000-10-07
I purchased the Patella T knee pads for tile installers, finishers, and maint. personel hoping to find a good pad that offered protection and did not constantly slide down my legs, and after wearing them for a week, I have retired them to the tool box. The only way to keep the knee pads up is to strap them on very tight, causing enough discomfort behind my knees that I have to loosen the straps. When I kneel down, most of the time the pads shift over to the side leaving my knees exposed. Add to this the fact that the pads are almost three times heavier than my old knee pads, and the spandex material really makes me sweat. I know that good quality tools and equipment usually costs more, and I have no problem spending money on products I use daily in my business. I felt compelled to write a review about this product because I am quite dissatified, and I bought these knee pads based on the positive customer reviews. I hope this review will be helpful to you.
