Klein Tools Heavy Duty Knee Pad Sleeves

Three size ranges, each sold as a pair: S/M is part 60615, M/L is 60511, and L/XL is 60611. Order by the size range that matches the wearer rather than a single numeric size, since each sleeve spans two.

Either way. The Klein Heavy Duty Knee Pad Sleeves are built for all-day wear under or over pants, and the pad profile is slim at 0.75 inch (2 cm) overall height, so they sit close to the leg rather than bulking out a pant leg. Total sleeve length is 14.6 inches (37.9 cm).

Yes, and it matters for issuing PPE. These knee pad sleeves contain natural rubber latex, which can cause allergic reactions. If you are outfitting a crew or a facility PPE program and anyone has a latex sensitivity, specify a different knee pad for them.

These use a sleeve design rather than straps: an elastic cuff with slip-resistant silicone grips the leg to hold the pad in place, and the close-to-the-body fit is intended to keep the pad on the knee when you are crawling or shifting position in tight spaces. No buckles or straps behind the knee to loosen or pinch.

Triple layer construction: interior neoprene foam padding for cushioning, an anti-abrasion outer layer, and a breathable mesh back. The padding is contoured to the leg shape rather than a flat block, which is what makes long kneeling stints tolerable. For repeated kneeling on rough concrete, the anti-abrasion layer is the part doing the work on the outside.

Each part number is a pair, so ordering 60615, 60511, or 60611 gets both knees covered. Count one unit per worker, not two.

Sleeves win where clearance and mobility are the problem. These Klein sleeves keep the pad tight to the body at 0.75 inch overall height with no straps to snag, which is what you want in a crawlspace, attic, or panel-side work in a tight electrical room. Hard-shell strap-on pads are the better choice when you are sliding across gravel or rough slab and want a rigid cap; these are a flexible foam sleeve, not a hard cap.

The back of the sleeve is lightweight breathable mesh rather than solid neoprene, so airflow reaches the back of the knee. That is the design point that makes all-day wear practical, including under pants.
