Pads used: Eagle Fusion, Heaton 10, Koho 580, Battram Cyclone, Vortek VK5

Gloves: too many to name

The Knee rolls were nice and the pad seemed to be very very well balanced. This is a great pad for anyone who prefers a more hybrid pad as opposed to a butterfly VK5. I may even buy a pair of these because I loved them that much. My last note is that they rotated like a dream but wore like a more hybrid pad. 10/10

Glove The double pro palm was very thick but I could still close the glove very easily. It was as light as any other glove and was very balanced. Noronen uses more of a finger break which took me a little to adjust my hand to. Again, I love Vortek gloves so I was a little partial to this one. My shot felt hard as ever if not harder. I actually almost broke a guys hand when I shot a puck at his head and he put his hand up to catch it, that guy was my dad... ahaha. 9/10

Blocker The blocker has an awesome palm -- probably the most comfortable palm I have used to date. It was very well balanced and protected my hand well. Light and comfy -- as with all VK5 blockers. 10/10

All in all I love the DNA Noronen pads. They were a perfect mix for me because my favorite pads to date have been H10s and the VK5s. Any more questions feel free to shoot me emails or PMs.
