Title: SG Test Pads
Post by: Joe on October 09, 2012, 07:18:27 PM

Been looking to get some of these since April, finally got my greasy mitts on a pair of them.


Not sure how I'll cope as I have been using lightweight pads (Moulded or Aero) for about 3 years now, but they seem much lighter and wrap-around-y than most pads I have seen. Pretty decent pads and a good spec, quite chuffed  :)

Had a pair of the older versions a while ago and sold them to a mate, regret doing so, lovely pads

I've been impressed with SG softs over the last few years.  Good quality and price, and they have a nice look about them as well.

Thinking of buying a pair of these as I bought the gloves recently. Amongst Indian softs, the test range used to be the benchmark for many years. If you don't mind me asking where did you get hold of these Joe ?.

They are lovely pads, I have seen them in flesh and they are amazing. I'm quite tempted to buy them, lets see what i12breakfree says.

These pads look very good... As good as the SS Test Opener pads
