I was just wondering what are the Best pads to get?
I know this is going to get varied opinions, but i'd like to see what you guys think.
As on sunday at the NSPL I didnt have any pads and when I got home found out my knee was swollen because I landed it on bad, and no pads.
Elbow pads im not THAT bothered about, and a chest protector, for instance, is the proto one any good? and where can you get it from?
i'm not a big guy, im 16 and i'm pretty skinny so they must be pretty small to be honest :p
As after getting lit up, around 15 balls into my back on the way to the dead box.. [Thanks for that ¬_¬] I thought it might be best if I got some pads ;)

So what are your opinions in good pads to get?
Knee & chest are my main goals, but willing to look at anything.

Yeah, got yourself a little bonus balled there eh ;)

I'm in the same boat, about the same build and also looking for some knee pads. Was also thinking of some elbow pads if I can get them cheap.

As for chest protection, the Proto Chest Protector isn't too expensive and I *think* it's Millennium legal:

The Draxxus Knee , Elbow & Shin pads are very good to wear. Comfortable and padded well. I have also heard that the Dye / Proto ones are good although I can't comment on those because I haven't worn them.
