The Impacto 879 are designed for protection across a range of industrial processes, including those that involve live flames and sparks. Not only are the Impacto 879 reinforced with an optional co-polymer hard shell cover, but the gel-injected foam padding of the pads is coated with a 100% cotton flame retardant fabric, which insulates the wearer against naked flames.

The Impacto 879 are designed to facilitate and aid the wearer in applications requiring kneeling for long periods. The hinged-action design of the knee pads allow the wearer to easily move from a kneeling and standing position, whilst the ribbed surface of the co-polymer shell prevents slippage on wet surfaces, allowing for reduced workplace accidents.
What's the Difference Between the Impacto 879 and the Impacto 877 Knee Pads?
The Impacto 879 and Impacto 877 are both variants of a robust set of flame-retardant knee pads.
- If your work requires a more lightweight pair of knee guards, we recommend the Impacto 877.
- If your work requires additional measures against abrasions and impacts, the Impacto 879 are injected with an industrial gel, which absorbs impacts and friction for maximum user protection.
What Models Are Available?
The Impacto 879 is available in two styles:
- A standard set of fire retardant knee pads
- A set of fire retardant knee pads with additional flame resistant fabric straps
