indykrap Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hey all - seeing a lot of new pads have had calf pillows implemented as stock now (i.e. Hyperlite, Optik2), and thought I'd see if anyone's built one or added one to their pads? Looks like a cool addition and some reviews are saying it really helps with comfort and seal. Would also be curious how it's impacted your pads as well. Thinking of making and adding one to my G3s! Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 So I had some small wedges that I velcro'd into my G3's. No picture as I don't have pads right now - they were only 1/2" thick that I pulled from I believe a Simmons Beef-Up kit, but I did notice better seal for sure.

indykrap Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Nice! Do you remember where you fit them in? I am thinking between the wrap and calf wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was a piece of velcro already there that I just put it right into. I also didn't have my calf wrap running through the loop and unlinked in as mnw0ng did in a lot of his earlier videos on his G3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I did the pillows the same as @Kayen. Made them for my G3s and now use them on my G5’s. Mine are about 1” thick with loop Velcro sewn on one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indykrap Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 @Ross looks great. What are the dimensions? And what foam did you use? This is exactly what I had in mind! Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 @indykrap they are 7” long, 2 ½” wide and ¾” thick. I used 2 layers of 3/8” foam floor tile for padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertnamehere Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I too cut up some leftover parts of a Simmons beef up kit to try this out. They feel good wearing the pads with them on carpet. I'm too lazy to sew them up, so I just have the nylon glued to the foams inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indykrap Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Oh wow. That’s perfect haha. tried doing what a few people suggested so far with some Maltese I had around, but it’s way too firm. Going to try some different stuff out. Thanks for the tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
