Default Harness shoulder pads

There are a few for sale at Summit, any better than the others?

All around the same price so wasn't sure which to pick.

Using Simpsons 5 point harness. I'm 5'7", narrow shouldered and smaller framed.

Thanks

We have the G-Force belt pads. They help a little but not a lot. Really only gives you another layer of fabric to take the bite off the edge of the belt when you turn hard and have your arm / shoulder cranked all the way over. The padding on the flat of the belt is hardly noticeable as far as making it more comfortable.

As far as fit, the thickness of the pad doesn't change it very much, if any, since it compresses when the belt tightens up.

I just ordered the G-force pads. My problem is they dig in over the shoulder.

Last year I place 2 thin towels just over the edges of the belt and it helped quite a bit.

I've got G-Force belts and bought the pads for the same reason. Small frame bony shoulders. The pads help me. Worth the $20.
