My common salutation is ‘keep your knees dirty’, and I mean it partly in jest.  I can’t count the number of blue jeans that I have worn through at the knees.  I’ve tried many knee pads without satisfaction, generally because they are too big and bulky, and they allow dirt in from the top.

The new Mark’s Choice Nylon Knee Pads have been torture tested on my own knees for many hours. I recommend them for people who want to protect their knees from injury and their pants from wearing out prematurely. These pads don’t have any excess padding because there is enough natural padding from the soil and the lawn. And, as requested, the top of the pad seals out dirt. They are light, easy to put on and take off while wearing gloves and they are washable!
