From what I have used:
1.  Funky Pro are my favs, and are biggest (around 49cm) - these are amazing and are as near as dammit Kooka.
2.  Newbery SPS - come out nearly 49cm
3.  Chase are a good, big fit

I have spent the last few seasons looking for pads that fit and have bought a number of types (consider myself a bit of an expert... :0)

Forgot to say...

The Funky's have a unique design where the back leg has one less cane - its not needed on the outside of your back leg!  Really good design!

HOw tall are you?

I'm 6'4" and use standard Pumas. Never had a problem with length or breadth, and combine them with Aero Strippers.

Agreed, they may be especially suitable for the OP considering their sizing has got a little bigger this year, a standard mens size is too big for me. I'm 6 foot tall with 'normal' legs, i wear Mens size GN Legends.

Jason - I have used Morrant Ultralite Internationals in OSM but slightly too long for me, as I'm only 6'3, as you know!
Depends on the leg length really!
