Anyone else think the knee bit of these are horrific???

Liking the straps though!!

Also....

Anyone used the 2009 elite pads, considering being brave and getting some but just not sure what they look like, feel like, fit like or protect like....any help is appreciated too

If you want value for money and good protection, Invest in a SS Test pad. Really very good.

Post by: yvk3103 on November 23, 2009, 07:10:08 PM: I tried them on Saturday and they felt very weird and uncomfortable. Not very flexible like the flextecs or the traditional pads. At that pricr get yourself a pair of Morrant Ultrlite International pads. They last a life time......

Post by: peplow on November 23, 2009, 08:10:51 PM: yeah the 2010 ones are horrific but not after those, looking at 09 ones. but have got a shortlist (thats not that short!!) of definates that i'm gonna choose from but i'm so undecided about which!

Post by: THERUBIN on November 24, 2009, 07:46:24 AM: I play with the 2009 model, and I think they are great.. Very light, and fits perfectly... can't almost not feel them, so nothing bad from here :)

Post by: peplow on November 24, 2009, 12:14:41 PM: are there any county/provincial/ipl etc etc players that wear them as i couldnt get a slightly better idea what there like if i can see them on getty images or something??

they are different i will admit! but i quite like them, i think they look like a better fit for me than flextechs, as flextechs top bit (above knee section) looks huge!!

Post by: leeroy_acko on November 24, 2009, 08:11:15 PM: Agreed, but why is it all so wierd, and why are the county gloves the best ones?! I guess this is what happens when germans make cricket stuff!

the 2009 pads are a bargain though!
