Guys,

How long does it take to get a set of pads properly worn in?  i have had a set now for 3 weeks worn them 5 times still feel too stiff and no give.  I have tightened all the straps up when i store them to try and get the to curve which has worked but they need to give more.  Any tips?

Thanks

Longy

maybe wear them around the house for a while? maybe flex them with you hands while watching tv? never had this problem but these are educated guesses

Wear them round the house ?

Pull the straps as far as they will go, then put string round them to tighten them further, and leave them for a day or two.

Works a treat !

Which pads are they longy as I've never had such a problem with my pads.

mine were brand new on sunday and didn't have any issue with them....they must be pretty stiff if they haven't curved at all unless the design hasn't allowed for any curvature on them!?

what pads are they?

They are the H4L ones. They are really light etc, but just going to take a while to get worn in.  Having said that i think it might just be me being mega fussy!!!  My adidas pads are nearly dropping to bits but they fit like a glove lol!!!!
