Pads that are a wide but compact fit
« on: February 20, 2013, 09:41:56 PM »

Hi all,

The pads I currently have which are falling apart and need to replace have what appears to be quite a unique fit I am looking to replicate. The current pads are a brand called CJI and the model is LE ultimate, I want something a bit more classical in terms of branding so don't want to get another pair.
The fit I am refering to is a wide, but very compact fit. Most of the pads I have looked at and tried on are generally thinner and taller in fit than what I am looking for.
I am 6ft and the pads I have are regular men's size, so not looking small men's as an option.
Has anyone come across a pair of pads along the lines of what I am looking for? Wide and compact fit with a classic/traditional look.

Thank you

Someone once mentioned that a Ricky Ponting style pad might be what I am after. Is that what these would be?

I would say the recoil and the ricochet pad are a wider fit for 2013 than the kahuna, while still retaining a compact feel.

The recoils are certainly wide.

I only ever really look at things on the shelf though, I guess I can see how the ricochets would mould round your leg and become narrower

Steveo1000 I can take some pictures of a few of the pads that I think would be suitable in the morning for you if you like?

I'll put them on my legs and try and figure out the remote shoot mode on my camera!

How about getting the CJI ones again? Garish branding but go with what you know
