Hello.

Need help with make right choice Brian's Optik 2 spec max or flx and pads size .

From new pads i want find lightweight, durability, good 5 whole coverage, good fit, good rebound and not twisted.

At this moment i use Warrior G4 pro 34+1.5 stock, and it's really ok form me.
Knee at right place. (check photo)
My butterfly isn't good, but i try change it ).

At Warrior i don't like durability.

I train 5/7 days at week, and think my pads looks poor.

At local shop i can't find 33/4+1 flx/max.

I try on Optik 2 fly 33+1  and lt's don't feel good for me. Stance isn't ok and butterfly don't comfortable. But knee +/- ok.

Try on Optik 9.0 34+1 and knee isn't in place, but  butterfly is ok. (check photo)

I try on ice old Brians Sub zero 3 33+1 and can't close 5 whole.

That pic with the head hanging...pure zombie tendy :P 

I'm surprised at how much room there is between your knee and the pad. Even with knee pads it would seem extreme. Do your pads flop around a lot?

I've heard/read many remarks about durability issues with Warrior gear, even the pro lines. My senior glove T split open at the top after half a season of beer league, not normal in my opinion. Is it choice of materials or assembly problems? Something the Warrior team has to look into before releasing their next line(s).

Btw, your b-fly looks fine. I'll trade you for my Giguere flare lolll

That space is pretty normal. Add on some knee pads and you wouldn't have noticed. ;)

Warrior leg channels are quite large, and if you sling down to the calf, the knee area is very roomy.

Never noticed until that pic. Does the pad swing around lots during t-pushes and such?
