K18 armguards any good?

[Tehb2]

I've been using some of the MP armguards, and they are actually pretty nice, but last year I had a pair of GForces that completely rocked. But they broke (which was repeating pattern on our team w/ those of us that had GForces). So I have tried on the K18's and some other STX armguards and they feel just as flexible. (and hopefully more durable, my GForces both broke in one hit!)

So since I didnt really try them on to get a real feel (I was just lookin, not interested at the time) does anyone own them or has a good idea of how they feel to post a comment on whether I should buy them or not?


*Yes i searched for previous threads/posts on k18's, a few things came up, but none related to what I want to hear.

the k18s are very nice arm guards. i recommend getting them if you have some money to spend but overall they are very nice.

Well, if your MP armgaurds are nice and they isn't anything wrong with them. Why don't you keep rocking those..

my school just got some custom k18's and they are just amazing. Light, flexible, and protective. Yes I know i am a goalie but i played attack with my friend's pads for a practice.

k18 armpads (the bigger ones) are by far the best arm pad on the market right now, hands down.

They are the most comfortable and they offer the most protection. You really cant go wrong if you are willin to fork up the cash—they are a tad pricey.

Well they are comin apart abit, and I know they dont beat the feeling of a geforce or similar stx armguard.

Thx for the posts, now I have to see if i have the money! :concerned :grin:

I'd go with them they are probably the best ones out. My firend tells me how it feels like you aren't even wearing arm pads when you play with them.
