Not useful as KneePads
I found these kneepads utterly useless. They do not stay on your knees, no matter how tight you make the flimsy straps. If you plan on moving, standing, or walking, these are not the product you're looking for.
The pads lack a depression for your knee to sit in, so they slide down to your shins when you stand up. Likewise, when you crouch down, they also slide down, exposing the tops of your knees to whatever you're working or kneeling on.
The plastic material on the front, labeled "ProFlex", gives no flex.

The Ergodyne Proflex Knee Pads with Long Cap and Light Weight Gel (#347) are described as providing lightweight comfort, superior mobility, and rugged durability. These pads are slightly longer than their comparable shorter version, providing padding for a little more surface area of the shins.
I used the pads for 6 hours over two days while installing my lower kitchen cabinet doors. After an hour I occasionally forgot they were on while walking around and going up and down stairs. Interesting, as I was paying attention to them for this review. When I first put them on I would experience the sensation of falling/tipping due to rolling off to the side of the pads if I leaned or swiveled to the side or moved around. The outer pad covering is a tough rubberized material with a grooved textured surface with good traction. This cover will catch on carpet; it doesn’t slide, and can cause the pads to move from their optimum position centered on the knee caps. The cover is also angled at the outer edge – similar to the hard chine on a boat hull bottom – that adds to this falling/tipping sensation. The only pads I have worn previous to this were the thin, inexpensive, simple foam type, and that probably enhanced the sensation of feeling up high and tipsy. After a couple of hours I did not notice this sensation as much; probably due to my knees compressing/bedding into the gel foam and not allowing my knee to move on the inner gel pad when the pad covering would catch on the carpet. I had also progressively cinched the straps tighter as time passed, especially the lower strap. For comparison I am 5’ 10” and 190#.
The straps are attached/detached via a slotted tab fit over a matching nob, allowing quick and easy on and off. The straps can be tightened while the pads are being worn. The upper strap is elastic material, while the lower strap is not. I can not speak to the long term durability of the pads as I have only used them twice for about 6 hours. From the materials and fabrication I can assume they will last a reasonable time even under rough use - your mileage may vary.
The warranty guarantees the pads, “... to be free of defects in materials and workmanship to the original purchaser for the lifetime of the product.” Damage, abuse, and/or normal wear are not covered.” I got a kick out of some hidden humor on the tag: “All rights reserved. All wrongs reversed.”

Great knee pads, very comfortable. These knee pads lost a star from me because often the straps would loosen and they did not adjust easily. These came in handy the day after Christmas when I had to get on the floor to clean up all of the gift wrapping that was shred to pieces on the floor. I used this on hardwood, carpets, and outside on concrete. They did a great job of protecting my knees. It took a while to find a sweet spot to make the straps stay securely but once I did , they worked like a charm. For one project I wore these around for 4+hours and they were tight enough to not around too much yet it was not so tight that it cut off the circulation in my legs which is good. I had no discomfort during the time I had them on. The Gel is nice and soft and did not scratch up my hardwood surfaces

No problems with packaging or condition of the pads. Just remove the tags and strap these pads on. The straps are easily adjusted for fit with a very good attaching method. So light you hardly know you have them on. But these are high quality knee pads. Made of tough flexible material with a very comfortable gel backing. They are extra long and bend easily for kneeling or walking around on your knees. I'm not expecting any problems working with these pads come Spring.

These Ergodyne Proflex Long Knee Pads are awesome. They feel amazingly comfortable to work in and offer great protection and thorough coverage for your knees and tops of your shins. They are easy to adjust and will easily fit many different size legs because they are adjustable and lock in place. They are very strong and durable; very well made all over. Very easy to put on and take off. They really alleviate the pressure and harshness of working on your knees. I highly recommend these for so many excellent reasons.

The Black Long Cap Lightweight Gel Knee Pads are hands down the most comfortable set of knee pads I have ever owned. I have been through a lot of knee pads doing flooring, roofing and hard-scaping. These are the best. The gel cushioning is excellent, and I really like the extra length of these pads. Most knee pads have hook and eye (Velcro) straps, but these have straps that hook key-holes over posts. The lower strap is non-expanding webbing while the top one is elastic. That is a good combination. They take a bit more time to adjust but once secure they are comfortable. These cost a bit more than the smaller, thinner and cheaper made knee pads, but they worth every penny and a great value.

I'm gettin' up there in age and when that happens to you, being on your knees all day to lay flooring, doesn't work like it used to. It hurts like a son-of-a-gun if you don't have the proper protection. These ProFlex kneepads are real handy for that because they are very lightweight. That is important if you will be wearing them for extended periods. They also have gel material in the pad that makes it bearable to be on them all day.
These pads also have the clip on the straps that actually work better than the Velcro because, once you have them adjusted properly, the clip makes them stay at that setting every time you strap them on. On these the top strap is stretchy and the bottom strap is solid making them stay in place better and still allowing the comfort of the stretch strap.
I really love placing tile and especially when I do something a little bit special with accents and patterns etc. I found that I wasn't as excited about it when it was painful to spend the extra time to do it. Now I can get excited about it again because the pain level is much lower when using this product.
A note to you young guys...start using pads like these now and it won't be as painful when you reach my age!

They have too much cushion and end up making you rock side to side. Very comfortable straps, terrible design. Used them for a week doing some flooring and it ended up messing up my knee.

Unlike other knee pads of this style on the market, the free-moving hinge design enables smooth and full 180° extension of the pad when straightening the knee. Thick closed-cell foam padding provides supportive all-day comfort, while the extra-large rubber cap maximizes surface area to increase stability and minimize risk of scratching or marking flooring such as tile or linoleum. Wide elastic straps easily adjust for a custom fit on a variety of leg sizes and are designed to sit further apart on the thigh and calf to prevent uncomfortable binding. Tested to hold up to repetitive use on the toughest worksites, the durable locking buckles securely latch to keep these knee pads comfortably in place no matter which direction you move.
The Hinged Knee Pads from Klein Tools are designed for all-day comfort and protection for the toughest jobs. The top strap is positioned above the knee to keep the pad centered in place. The multi-layer gel-like padding system is designed to support the knees to reduce pressure and fatigue after all-day wear. Heavy duty synthetic rubber knee caps provide ultimate protection while allowing for side-to-side mobility. Quick-release clips and adjustable elastic straps allow for easy on/off.
ProFlex 380 Standard Kneeling Pad delivers comfort in static kneeling situations. The closed-cell foam is nonconductive, resistant to petroleum and silicone-free. Standard size and convenient handle allow optimal portability. Handle also allows hanging storage. Knee pad is great for use in plumbing/HVAC, mechanics, utilities, electricians, flooring, landscaping and carpentry.
