i just got these in an xLarge which is the biggest size empire makes... everything fits fine except for the gloves... i got these for $25 which woulda been a steal if the gloves would have fit right. I wanted the ones without the freedom gloves but this one was all that was offered. now i guess i'm going to have to cut off the gloves in order to be able to use it

Great Pads

I've never owned any pads before these, so without a point of reference it's hard to say if these are better than anything else, but I have no problem saying that these are great. I get plenty of bounces off them every day. They seem to run small though, so order a size up from what you think. Also, the decal things on the gloves will start to fall off before too long, but this doesn't affect the performance at all. I actually ended up tearing the last few off myself, because I like the look better. For the price, a great buy.

Really easy to rip

I've had mine for about 2 months now and used them about 8 times in total. I have not washed them yet since I don't trust them to not break down. The thinnest meshing around the forearm ripped already and there is some "shredding" going on with the other material on the arm pads.
I wouldn't trust these even with hand washing.
I really love these arm pads and its a shame they come apart so easily. I would expect better for the price.

Gloves

the gloves are like baby gloves so hard to get my hand in they way to tight on my fingers. Either cut off the gloves or spends days stretching then out

Love these gloves

I got these about a year ago and do not regret it. They hold up to use and abuse and keep coming. Though I agree with some in that they are a little difficult to remove, this serves the user well in that it doesn't slide around or move during play, even when jumping diving rolling and crawling in any direction. The thumbs are a bit tight but this is neglegable. Excellent pads and very comfy!
