Bought these to just try this model out before committing to a newer, more expensive pair.
Very well worn and broken in. Lots of repairs and little rips here and there, but overall nothing that keeps them from being effective protection.
One collar pad has a strap that came loose, but this could be sewn fairly easily. I just didn't feel the need to do it.
Velcro works fine. All of this is reflected in the price.
$25 + Ship.
