I have used these for a number of years now and they are ahead of everything else in terms of comfort, flexibility and protection.  I try other brands from time to time to check that there isn't something better now on the market but these are still the market leader for me

Sorry @SD I have to disagree. While the legends are indeed lovely pads and gloves I do think they are no better than plenty of other brands on the market... My SS test openers were just as nice in terms of protection and comfor as the Legends and I believe the BB Moderns are more comfortable/offer the same protection.

I know it's each to their own but I personally don't believe the legends are all they are cracked up to be.

I think as you say, there is an element of personal preference as to what kit works for you.  For example, the diamond style pittards on the Legend gloves are - speaking as someone with very sweaty palms - the best I have come across.  When combined with the fit, flexibility, weight and comfort, these are way our in front of anything I have tried.  I would tend to agree that there is less between the different pads on the market, but if buying as a set, I haven't come across anything that is.comparable to the Legend softs.

The one thing I would say about pads irrespective of anything else, is that i don't like wearing any pads where the straps are so long you have to double up part of the straps.  The Legends are perfect for me whereas the likes of BB and Newberry I have found are too long.  I also don't like the asethtics of the BB pads but obviously that is entirely subjective and also a personal thing as to whether looks make any difference to you
