I tried on some newbery tours today and they were okay, middle strap a bit small!

Best pads I've found for strap length are salix!

I've got 909 d3o pads which have rather long straps, that said I do have twig legs...

I am also blessed in the calf department, and have never had any probs with Kooks either

Just picked up some puma calibre's, 2 strap model. Straps are massive so you won't have any problems with them.

Rather than start a new topic could anyone offer some advice.
I like to wear my pads buckled up tight with my pads wrapping around well.

As I dont have the biggest calves  I do end up with the ends sticking out and flapping about unsightly.
Is there anmy trick to get them tight but not so they look silly?

Yes, but it's hard to describe... Basically you strap the pads to the end, and then pinch them in the middle

[PM7]

Thx Johnny, yes tried that but am wondering if there is another cunning trick I might have missed?

black pads Sam? i'm after a set in black

[Sherpa75]

with regards pads with long middle straps i can highly recommend newbery SPS pads, have no problem getting them around my big calves , with only an inch and a half velcro left showing, they are also the most comfy pads i've worn

My vantage pads currently and my old ayrtek pads had sufficient length of straps. My older Gray Nicholls did as well, not sure on current GN pads though.
