SAVE YOUR KNEES. World-leading certified knee pro
tection. As a leader in knee protection, we collaborate closely with the best partners in the kneepad industry, such as the British brand D3O®. The innovative D3O® technology provides exceptional impact protection and shock absorption. Louise Wilson from D3O® explains how this works. “D3O® is a unique technology that enables us to create innovative, active materials that react differently depending on the type of forces they are subjected to. The molecules in the material flow with the movements of the user, but upon shock will lock and stiffen to absorb the energy of the impact. This means that we are able to offer a unique combination of comfort and flexibility with extreme protection when it really counts.” D3O® technology is used in a wide range of body-protection products. It can be found in everything from clothing and footwear for motorcyclists and extreme sports athletes to PPE for the armed forces and the police. “I think we’ll soon start seeing more solutions in personal protective equipment that are similar to those used for extreme sports, for example when it comes to protecting your head, neck, elbows and hands,” says Louise Wilson from D3O®. 9169 D3O® Ergo Craftsmen Kneepads The ergonomically shaped D3O® Ergo Craftsmen Kneepad offers advanced knee protection for work that involves frequent kneeling.
