I have the G22s. most ballin arm pads ever, they protect from my glove to my shoulder pads and in 12 varsity indoor games i didnt feel anything with them on. I play attack and they are perfect for me, so if you play attack i would highly reccomend them.

so do you know if they are more comfortable or protective/lighters than the k18's?

I loved my old k18's don't use them anymore though. But i think there the way to go.

do they crack/break easily because of the plastic or does that make them stronger/ more protective

G22 arm pads feel very akward. The don't quite fit around your arm right.

k18 arm guards offer the most comfort you can get out of an arm pad (from my experience). They are super flexible & lightweight yet still offer great protection. Theyre a little bit on the pricey side but i'd say they're definately worth it.

I have G22s and I love them but they come really tight, like I am a medium and the length is fine but the pad on the underside of the forearm is really tight on me and leaves a mark when i take them off. I have used the K18s before and they were amazing in every way. I have seen a picture of one of them broken but haven't heard much about that happening. I would go with the k18s.

sorry just saw what you asked me. It is all personal pref. I used my friends K18s for a game and just didnt like them too much, i dont know why. G22s fit my arm better i think. you should try them both on really... thats hte best way to do it.
