Title: Osm pads
Post by: roco on May 13, 2011, 02:41:16 PM
Can someone tell me the length of these from instep to centre of knee roll as have a couple of pairs of pads here but think they may be a little small they are 41.5 cm using the above method

Thanks

Aaron

i've got the same problem, newbery sps 1's fit fine, puma calibre 5000's are too small, probably an inch or two difference.

PAD SIZE

Remember each company make there pads slightly different sizes no matter what size they are if you get me

in my eyes and only mine i tried on the rogue,kahuna, and the ccx, all the top models, and they were the best fitted ones for sure.

There other ones were ruined by lavish pipeing but it depends on what you like and i found the top hat smaller

hmmm maybe just sell one pair then as only need one

as osm look to be big but will measure the leg in a bit as both sets of mine are 41.5 so in the middle

Also the smaller mens tend not to be as wide and some say the straps are smaller

some brands they are some there not i guess like osm as well..

Biggest normal mans pads are gn and smallest tend to be the Bas or SS i have found

Puma make them big as well i found

I find the puma's i've got really small, compared to the newberys and slazengers i've had
