Positives:
-XTAC
I really liked the non-slip coating these knee pads had, it really seemed to help hold them in place throughout a variety of maneuvers. This feature seems to let you back off a little on tightening the straps to hold them in place. I love the rapid deployment fasteners.

-Centurion
The feature I most liked about the centurion pad was the standard size. I felt like my knee was better protected and felt less tension against my knee cap while having my leg in the straight position. These seem to be a better fit for larger knees. I love the rapid deployment fasteners.


Negatives:
-XTAC
As you may notice in the picture my knee appears slightly bent while wearing the XTAC pads and that is due to the fact the pad seems to made in a way that makes it more difficult to straighten your leg out. I didn't really care for this as well as the non-traditional look of these pads.

-Centurion
I really wish the centurion pads had the same non-slip coating on the inside that the XTAC pads have. This feature would have really completed this knee pad.

Overall:
-XTAC
Great pads just wish they were the traditional size.
