How tall are you what size pads do you use?
« on: June 06, 2018, 06:26:17 AM »
Interesting one here which has been mentioned before about Gray Nics pads sizing.

I’m 5’10 (max) and recently tried some prestige pads on but found I needed large sized pads. I’d be interested to see what others use given there are a fair few people on here who own legend pads.

I'm 6'3'', albeit with relatively short legs and use Prestige pads. They are a little smaller than my previous mens sized pads.I worried when I first got them and pondered returning them. My thigh pad therefore sits slightly lower. I note Cook's GN pads look a little small on him (knee roll relative to the knee bend), so I assume it was a new trend.

6'1 and Large mens legends. I ordered the normal ones as thats what I had used before (2015 model) but they were basically shin guards.

I'm 5'10" as well, and generally wear either small mens, or standard mens pads if they're ordered from India.

Do have short legs though, and wear a 29"/30" inside leg.  If you sit behind me in the pictures, you'd probably think I was massive - then chortle when I stand up.

Does make me think if I were to consider GN pads, I could go with standard mens size though by the sounds of it.

Interesting that. I’m a 32 inside leg, I just found it very odd that in GN I was a large men’s sized pad

I am most of the way to 6ft 2. I use regular men's pads, but I like them to feel a bit small...
GM pads are usually a bit bigger and they fit me perfectly.
Currently using some Adidas pads which are also ok.

6 ft 2, I've always used standard mens, currently on the Optimax Black edition from Owzat which are a little bigger than my old GN ones. Fantastic pads for the money, very light, great protection!

Im 6'3 and use standard men's Prestige pads. My knee is quite high in the cup, but perfectly comfortable.

Knee roll only marginally lower, seems like the top hat is quite small. Kook pads are great quality, but always found them a bit big and have to go small mens or youths.

i sold my normal sized pair over here (Norway) as the loss I made was less than return shipping, when I asked Gn about the difference between that and previous iterations in normal they denied they were any smaller.

6ft3 . My gn pads are large mens and my knee sits high in the cup, so they are only ok ish . All other pad brands i use large mens (puma , morrants etc ) and they fit perfectly.

6'3"...seems to be the height of preference so far :D. ... I flirted with the idea of trying OSM pads but persisted with my regular mens size SS Test pads. Didnt really see any added advantage of getting bigger pads. Curious, has anyone ever measured the difference in height and width of OSM vs regular pads?
