i think i will probably post some pictures here soon as a follow up to my original review. my pads are holding up pretty well over all after getting a replacement set in december. my straps seem to be holding up for now, but Daemon is right, the "leather" ones will seem to wear very fast.

i havent really done many mods other than add an extra knee stack and superglue the stitching around the toes to prevent fraying (per Bishnou).

with all that being said... i'm always on the lookout for my next set. i want them as soon as i can embezzle the money out of my budget to buy'em!
