Don't think you can look beyond SS Test pads.

I see lot of top reviews for the SS Test Opener but I found them to be quite bulky, very thick from leg to outside of pad, almost hindering my running. The top hat was quite wide and didnt wrap around as well, with the two leg top hats touching each other when I walk/run. Also the instep was too hard almost hurting top of my foot but it could be because the ones I tried were new. Protection was good though and weight around 830 grams.

Suprises me Adb, I find them the comfiest pads I've ever worn and the protection is second to none at the weight.

Maybe they get better when used a little. The one I checked was brand new so that could be the reason I felt them quite hard/not comfy. Protection is quite good can be seen though.
