I liked the "Caddy pads" but the foam padding kept tearing out. I then glued them on with "Shoe glue" or Goop brand adhesive and they never ripped loose again. In an effort to save weight i bought some Gekko's. They were very light and the pads were super comfortable, but the gaffs are made of soft low grade steel (plan on sharpening twice a day) So i drilled an extra hole & fitted w/ Buckingham spurs. I'm weird about gaffs & like to climb on short pole gaffs 90% of the time.
