Career Savers Product Details

If you are inbetween sizes, there are a couple things to consider to help decide which size is best for you. First, the larger size tends to be more comfortable when kneeling on uneven or rocky surfaces, but the smaller size will feel a little more supportive. Second, you can select a size based on the size of your knees.  If you are tall with skinny legs, you may be better suited for the smaller size, and likewise, if you have larger legs, you will benefit from the larger size.  If you are still unsure, you don't have to guess.  You can compare the width of your knee joint to the width of the knee caps.  I recommend choosing the size that is closer to the width of your knee.

Please note that Career Savers fit differently from regular knee pads.  I highly recommend going through these simple steps to get them adjusted correctly the first time you try to wear them. 

1) Sit down, or crouch with your knee bent 90 degrees or more.

2) Adjust both straps so they are at the maximum length.

3) Hold the knee cap against the front of your knee, so the narrow end is down. The bottom (narrow) end should be touching your shin.  The top edge of the knee cap should be even with the top of your knee.

4) Connect the bottom strap and shorten it until it to prevents the knee cap from slipping down your leg. DO NOT PULL THE STRAP TIGHT!

5) With the upper (elastic) strap still disconnected, stand up. The Career Savers knee cap should stay in place on your leg. The top edge should just barely cover your knee cap.  (They may feel too low at first, but this is how they are designed to fit.)

6) If they slip down your leg, shorten the lower strap in small increments until they stay in place.  If the knee caps are centered on your knee when your leg is straight, loosen the straps.  Most people tighten the straps too much, so most likely you will need to loosen them.

7) To test if they are positioned correctly, try to kneel. If your knee lands inside the cap, and the front edge of the cap is in contact with the front ofyour knee, they are fitting correctly.  But if the cap is sticking out in front of your knee, lengthen the lower strap  so it sits lower on your leg, and try again.  It may take a few tries and to get this dialed in.

8) Once the botttom strap is adjusted, connct the upper strap.  KEEP THE UPPER STRAP LOOSE! The bottom strap does all the work of holding up the knee caps. The top strap just prevents them from moving around too much when you walk.

When correctly adjusted, the Career Savers knee caps will be loose fitting while also staying in place.  If the straps ever feel tight, please review these instructions.  

Returns are accepted for a period of 30 days from date of purchase.  I understand that you need to actually use them to find out if they work for you, so I accept returns of knee caps if they show signs of use.  Before returning an item, you must contact us and get approval to ensure we know who is making the return so it can be processed correctly.  Buyer pays return shipping.
