OTR view

Fit is the main story here. A pad that sits correctly around the knee and shin is more comfortable and less distracting, so the GEM's female-specific shaping is more meaningful than simply offering a different colour or smaller size. A useful option for women and girls struggling with the proportions of conventional pads.
