i dont like the dye elbow pads to much so i want a good pair and the hk army pads caught my eye they look great anybody have them yet, if not any other recomendations

Why not get PE pads?

From my understanding, the HK line of soft good protection breaks apart if you use it hard, which we all do.

Dont waste your money on HK. Go with something that is not a 1st gen product. Give HK a couple years to work out the bugs.

Planet Eclipse Overload pads. They work like a dream. They're the most comfortable and most durable pads around.

This.

If I wasn't letting curiosity get the better of me and buying HK, I would have PE pads as they are amazing.

Sly pads are SOOOO comfortable but the seams kind of blow apart after a while.

iam super HK fan and i know they products are top quality but like the guys said, give them a little time to work more on it, or wait to a friend or someone buys and than you ask if it is good, i dont like to buy 1st gen produts, even more if it is expensive.

Empire always does me well. I'm still using my empire pants from 09.

[BRUTE]

I agree with every one els. Let HK work things out first. But in my opinon get the empire grind 09 stuff from ANSgear.com. They are cheap and work very well. People bitch becuase they rip. They do rip but the rips dont hinder the preformace they are double layered material so the tears dont realy matter.
