Most of his time was spent talking about how he liked his current pads and that Ozzie and the training staff had to keep opening them up and changing the foam because they were breaking down so bad. They showed how the top of the pad was splitting apart from it being opened and sewed shut so many times.
If you look at another pic that was posted in this thread it really doesn't look like what they did to the pads was an extension so much as they had to rig a new top binding.
Believe me those things were ragged when they showed them. It's a shame he didn't go with the shiny new Itechs.

it looks like you're right that they're more of a patch or binding fix - if you look at both before and after pieces you can see the red line splits the distance of the top section equally.
those pads look awesome - im all for old and ugly pads (irbe) - cant wait until my new ones look that beaten up.
