I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

I had kook pro players edition and they were something else. As most will tell you on here I have tried every single pair of pads ever made (not really but my reputation goes before me...)

The only reason I have them no more is that they fell apart from lots of use.

I have since replaced them with GN pro performance pads and despite only trying at home they feel really good. The knee roll isn’t too bulky either like the legends can be.

Don’t worry about being a FKW, you see so many people doing it now it’s not really an issue 👍

I had used ss test opener in past but a friend nicked them from me.
After that i have used many brands and top of the range pads but here i am back to ss test opener.
I would rate them comfiest and not very expensive.
Used by many internationals too.

All super comfortable, light and have more 'extras' than many of the big brands. Dont underestimate towel backed straps, especially when netting in shorts. When doing that I've found the mesh backed straps (SS, Newbery, and more) to be quite irritable.

Never used GN but not surprised by the endorsements at all, seem like very nice pads. My issue would be sweat stains on the white foam padding

If you like those you'll love the unbranded version from OS for a third of the price!

Hmmmm I think you get what you pay for when it comes to OS in my opinion.

Love my puma ballistic 5000, unfortunately I’ve ever been as much of a fan of the matching Puma gloves

The adidas top of the range softs are the business.

The pads are identical to the Choice model mentioned above minus the branding. Used mine for 3 seasons now including nets and have had no problems

Purchased them just to net in but they have been comfy enough to use all the time. Not saying they are the best on the market just that they are as good as some priced alot higher

Yeah I'd 2nd that - I had the original version (along the lines of the MH T2). I've had 2 pairs of traditional pads since (BS GP Verizon plus the H4L customs I have now) and both have been really well made etc but certainly not as comfy

Personally I think there are 2 different types of 'identical' , looks on a screen and what you actually get. I have seen what you get from OS from when guys at my club have purchased from them and believe me, they are nothing like the quality of the Choice pads.

Another vote for Puma here. I've had a pair of the white/red/black Platinum 5000 for the past few seasons. Very lightweight, comfy and well padded. But not quite your traditional-looking pad. A bit more contemporary but not nearly as far out as an Aero pad. I have Youth and at 5'8 they fit me very well. I've now just bought a pair of white/silver Puma Evo SE in the Pro Direct sale after looking at pretty much every other manufacturers' pads.
