Get which ever ones suit you aidy not what suits a pro, chances are the pros will be loaded with extra padding so the style doesnt really matter.

In the adidas press releases, they say the elite, pro and county gear has 'test match protection' which probably means that you can wear any. Price point is interesting though - the countys are 55 quid which is around the GM Original, Kookaburra Sub 850 and GN Powerbow 5* price points

Just looking, KP has switched back to last years pro pads and bell and rhb have gone to the county pads. This suggests that this years pro pads are not up to the job.

Pietersen is using last years Pro pads in the 2nd Test! The new Pros must be of worse quality?!
