Thanks, I'll definitely give the 08 model a look!

Does anyone know whether the 07 model is the same as the aforementioned Itech kneepad?

[Gasman]

Believe it or not....I'm still using these old reliables on a regular basis. They have held up great.

I'm personally waiting to hear some feedback on the me vaughn v3 knee pads from a person over at goaliemonkey. I have these Rbk and removed the hard plastic shell which helped my knees but is now warping the knee pads. Will need a new solution in the near future.

I heated my plastic pieces in boiling water and just bent them so they fitted the knee pad. it works really nice and i haven't got any bruises on my knees so far i wear a pair of socks over them so they won't tear on my pads

I picked up a pair of these a few weeks ago and I've had about 5 or 6 ice sessions in with them. I have to say these have done wonders for my butterfly. I had on Smith's thigh guards before but given the shape and design of the guard I've had a couple squeakers come in and get me on an exposed part of the knee. Thankfully no damage but I know it is only a matter of time. After the switch my butterfly is now sealed shut, my pads rotate much better, and I feel one 100% confident in my protection. This has been one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

[missingxtalent]

I have the opportunity to pick up a pair of these (with the hard plastic removed) for $25. I also just purchased a pair of 9k pads. I haven't had these on ice yet, but already I'm not liking the thigh guards that came with the pads.

So would it be advisable to pick up a pair of these (the RBK grey ones)?

[badgerit]

Have you ended up replacing the 9K thigh boards?

[FELIX DA CAT]

i just bought new rbk 8k pads , but the are a little to big. my knee
just catches the bottom of the the landing gear.would these knee pads
protect my knee if they miss the landing gear and hit the ice? or any
other sugestions.

i am gonna buy those thin asic wrestling kneepads and wear the rbk's for thigh protection.

I wear the Asics GEL wrestling pads, not only for the padding but to help support my knees as well. For thigh protection, I took the thigh pad out of my Bauer pants and laced it to the pad as a thigh guard. I laced it off-center so it'd stay in position better when down. No issues in a few years of playing...other than the Asics wearing out once.

Off-topic: I cut apart one pair of old Asics GEL pads. Yeah, the GEL is a 2" square right over the knee cap. The rest is just foam. That kinda turned me off buying a new pair. I have been looking at alternatives for when these need to be replaced, so far leaning toward a pair of Brute EXO's.
