Tondog 12 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Yeah the best I can tell is that this 8K variant that I purchased off ebay must be European retail version or something. I'm hoping it still has the "play dry" liner and is something I can fit around my arm. I would be surprised if any of the "official" Jofa branded stuff was actually made in China and not Sweden, but with Reebok...I'm sure nothing is off the table nowadays. I REALLY was excited about these and now I'm not sure what will arrive in the mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tondog 12 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Europe's RBK line from about 6,7 years ago...came as 8k and '8k long' with the extension.So then NOT the actual 9144 7K model the pros use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tondog 12 Report post Posted August 8, 2011 Well I got them and they are the exact same pad as the older JOFA 9144 pad that I've had a couple of cross my desk. Same materials and same construction quality as the Swedish made stuff (sadly) that I can tell. The absolute ONLY thing I can find differing is the anchor strap section sewn down is done with blue instead of the older white ones. I still question the sizing of size 7 since it doesn't seem all that different in fit from the size 6 Swedish pad but the chinese assembling them probably can't fathom guys with 16" forearms like mine either so...

Chinese were fairly smaller, I'd say chinese size 6 = swedish pro stuff size 5.This was justified when I compared chinese 5K (2005) size 6 t0 swedish 9144 pro size 5. The same size.Recentry I bought Ivanans 9144 pro size 5. Can you imaging this guy wears size 5!http://cl.ip.fi/misc/ivanans.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
