Swenco Limited and Redbacks Cushioning have agreed to co-brand Redbacks knee pads with Swenco’s Steel-Flex label in North America.

“This is a very innovative product that aligns nicely with the high standards of quality and protection set by the Steel-Flex Puncture Resistant Insole and the Steel-Flex Steel Toe Overshoe,” said Matthew Rowlands, Swenco’s assistant general manager. “The hard-working North American knee is about to get some much-needed stress relief.’’

The knee pads will be available this fall at select retailers and industrial distributors.

Redbacks builds the knee pads on a flexible, honeycombed structure instead of foam, according to the company. The honeycomb holds a “leaf-spring” membrane that Redbacks developed to dissipate pressure, add comfort and reduce the risk of long-term harm to the knee joint.

“Five years of research and scientific testing were devoted to creating the most advanced knee protection in the world using the unique, patented Redbacks Cushioning leaf-spring technology,” said Clifford Lockyer, CEO of Redbacks Cushioning. “Your car does not use pads, it uses a suspension system. Your knees deserve nothing less.”

Waterproof, machine-washable and built for comfort, Redbacks knee pads come in two formats: one that straps over the knee, and one that slips into knee pockets of specially designed workwear.
