Problems solved by technology

However none of them offer a pain free design.

Furthermore none of them allow the back of the knee to remain open and free from straps or elastic used to keep them in place.

My design addresses the binding and circulation impairment issues, which causes considerable discomfort.

Plus prior art designs often fail to keep knee and protection in place.

All of which are tightened around the knees causing major discomfort to the user.

These methods produce binding or circulation issues which causes irritation and discomfort to the area of contact.

Plus prior art does not always keep the protection pads in the desired location.

Often this results in the user simply removing them entirely.
