Wondered if anyone could recommend some slim fitting pads? I've always found the traditional cane fronted ones a bit bulky, (although this maybe just to my eye) but prefer a closer fit/wrap to my legs, especially round the knee roll. I've been looking at the H4L Fifty 50 and the Pryzm pads. Any more i should consider?

GN Legends... ;)

The new Powerbow6's are a good option. they have a 'leg hugging design', look stunning in the flesh as well. We also sold a pair of fifty50's to a chap who wanted pads to fit his 'skinny' legs. He also bought a bat ang gloves to match :)

Really?
The pair I had were nice but I wouldn't have described them as slim fitting haha

I think you missed my post elsewhere and the ... ;) lol

If you want slim fitting pads, you may need to accept a reduction in protection.

kookaburra ghost pro players, with a little molding will be quite snug fitting

My puma bionic 5000 are slim with excellent protection and lightweight. My morrants are slimmer and lighter.

I have a pair of M&H T2’s with the vertical style knee bolster and found these hug the leg better than pads with traditional horizontal knee bolsters. If you are looking at Pryzm I think they do a pair in this style

Go for the youth size

Our new Custom pads have an extra wide wing, we've even called it 'Skin-Fit'. They wrap round the leg for unbelievable comfort.

@Uzisports top range pad are some of the best I’ve come across - light and mould to your leg very quickly
You could also try and get a pair of old pumas? The style mcullum uses?

Yeah I was looking at the Pryzm ones. Anyone used them at all?

Always quite fancied the Morrants when I was younger but not quite sure I'd pull them off now :D

Thanks. I've got your Pro pads at present (H4L fkw :D) and they're really nice pads, just feel (or maybe just seem to me) a little bulkier than I'm used to. That said the last pads I bought were over 10 years ago and didn't have the same level of protection. The Fifty 50 look a nice pad too, so I'll try and get a look at those.

Thanks, was looking at the Puma Evo SE pads earlier from last year which look nice. The McCullum ones are maybe a tad too non-traditional ;)
