stay away from these pads. Really poor.

If you want value for money and good protection, Invest in a SS Test pad. Really very good.

I tried them on Saturday and they felt very weird and uncomfortable. Not very flexible like the flextecs or the traditional pads. At that pricr get yourself a pair of Morrant Ultrlite International pads. They last a life time......

I play with the 2009 model, and I think they are great.. Very light, and fits perfectly... can't almost not feel them, so nothing bad from here :)

are there any county/provincial/ipl etc etc players that wear them as i couldnt get a slightly better idea what there like if i can see them on getty images or something??

they are different i will admit! but i quite like them, i think they look like a better fit for me than flextechs, as flextechs top bit (above knee section) looks huge!!

Looks like the thigh pads will be the best bit of kit adidas make this year!
