Goonsquad

Purchased early this year.. been using them since February. 17" version.. worn over the tongues Weight: Roughly 3 lbs 4 oz. hardly noticeable once they are on 9/10 Fit: I purchased these thinking I would make adjustments to the shin foam and the lower thigh protector. I left the shin foam alone as they were great out of the bag. I made a couple of adjustments to the lower thigh pad. These were attached with Velcro and can be removed and put back on later if needed. Needs help keepin the pads tight around the shin 6/10 Protection: Seems good so far. I haven't had problems with direct impact to these. This set of shins also includes calf protection which are okay when on. Using the attached elastic straps still shows about a 1 inch gap between the front and this pad 9/10 Durability: stitching is still good. Plastic is still intact. not bad : 10/10 Intangibles: 1. The Velcro used to attach the lower thigh pad is starting to go on one side. kind of a pain when I pull these out and having it flopping around. 2. the elastic straps do not hold the shins tight. Expect to invest in sock tape, shin sleeves, or an extra set of elastic bands to keep them firm on the leg. Conclusion: Not a bad set of pads at all that are protective and relatively lightweight. the drawback is the strapping system.

The body armor reminds me of the Batman suit.. The thing that got me thinking was the way the Bicep and Elbow transition works. It seems the lower edge of the biceps section might get in the way of the swinging of the elbow section..

Rocking the FX on the noggin protector..

I've gotta ask this.. Did they really have to number the edge Jerseys as 25 Poo?
