i love my protec pads (except the wrist guards, they suck for comfort), they have room for gaskets if i need more padding, but are fine so far! They also have no elastic at the back of the knee and crook of the arm, so not as sweaty.
just watching the hell on wheels film, and they looked like they were choreographing some faux fights... we should so do that at the mini bout in march to scare the people/new fresh meat watching.
