Kneepads

Abstract

A kneepad device includes an outer cover having a curved body and including two or more protrusions positioned along, and extending away from, an inner surface of the curved body. The kneepad also includes an inner cushion configured to couple with the outer cover and contact a knee of a user when being worn. The outer cover has a hardness that is greater than that of the cushion, such that the outer cover provides a protective shell, and the inner cushion conforms to the surface of the user's knee. When coupled, the outer cover and inner cushion define an air pocket therebetween, which reduces the localized pressure exerted on the user's knee when kneeling. The two or more protrusions can define elongate strips of material, the space between which further defines the air pocket between the cover and the cushion.
