GN sizing
« on: January 09, 2016, 06:18:45 PM »

Has anyone had an issue with the sizing of GN pads at all? The reason I am asking is I bought a pair of GN Oblivion test pads off GN's eBay clearance store as MRH (I've checked the labels which show MRH) yet next to another pair of MRH pads they are increadibly small. I'm not particularly tall (5'11") and my knee is above the knee locator pad and the bolster across the knee.

Is this normal? Looks as though I'm going to have to try and sell these and buy a set of OSM

Thanks

GN softs have been a little smaller fitting than average for a couple of years. I'm guessing the pad you are comparing them to is an older model?

I was comparing them to a different branded pair, having not owned a pair of GN before. I guess OSM is the way forward then based on the comments

I also purchased the oblivion test pads from the ebay outlet and thought the same.My  quantum elite pads are sized as mens right hand yet the oblivions are medium right hand but are sold as mens right hand?? The knee locater doesn't feel correct yet the pads do seem to be the same size in height.

GN renamed men's as medium to match up global sizing policies. At the same time the changed the name of boys and small boys to junior and junior small
