Just got one of these, feels super light compared to pants. I like the fit of the upper a lot.
How tight do you typically tighten the thigh pads? I wore them fairly loose to keep my shin pads from getting caught, wasn’t sure if that’s right or not.

The beauty of the velcro is that its all preference. I personally didn't love the 9k and stuck with my Easton girdle, but because I was already used to girdles, I liked it tight. Play around with it and find the sweetspot - if you're used to pants, it might be on the looser side, but tighten it up and see how it feels. Worst case you always adjust mid-game.

Whatever feels most comfortable to you.
I usually go middle of the pack as far as tightness goes but I’ve tried them with both the high pads tightened around my legs and as loose as they’ll go. It’s all personal preference.

My preference was to hike the thigh pads up and keep them tight. They're light enough i never noticed a problem
Good Idea; Whistling while you work.
Bad Idea; Whistling while you eat.

Good points in here. Thanks, guys. I guess it is easy enough to move them around and see what I like best. I'm stoked about how much lighter they feel than my pants. Can't wait to try them out in the next week or so.
