You could take your pads to a clothes altering shop, they'll be able to change the length of the strap for you.

Surely they don't stick to each other? You mean they clip each other and start opening up as you run. If that's the case you could stick something on at the end of the Velcro?
PS. 62 kilos at 6 foot... Hit the gym man ???

Post by: gazr5 on May 27, 2015, 05:17:59 PM: I have just bought some SS Test Openers and they are:

Top: 39cm
Mid: 35cm
Bottom: 28cm

Mine were direct from India and are more like small mens which suits me fine at 5ft 7 (and a half *cough*) Perhaps at 6ft they might be a tad small on you but straps might be better.
