I love the pads. I was concerned at first because I was so used to my old style of play that I didn’t know if I was going to be able to make the transition to the newer pads. I like the knee pads that came with the G-netiks; they make landing on the more dense foam of the knee landings a bit easier on my knees. Posted a shutout in the second game I wore them in.
The helmet is great as well. It runs a bit hot with the Maltese, but it’s not unbearable. It is on the heavy side, but that was a trade off I was willing to make to have more protection. My old Hackva was great, but I think the build quality of the OTNY is a step above the Hackva.
The next couple of things I’m going to pick up are skates and a new chesty.
