I've been using the Send pad and the 5.10 pad for a bit now and I actually think the 5.10 pad performs better on most kneebars. The Send is comfier and easier to put on but the rubber's too thick and rigid and on some kneebars just skids off. The 5.10 pad moulds into the rock and sticks better. The Send one will be better for really painful kneebars. If you're prepared to spend one of each is the way to go.

I've been contacted by the company and they have some more pads in stock now, though this isn't advertised on their website, so I'm about to put an order in. If anyone wants to order one and split the shipping costs just let me know. $70 for the regular sized pad, $60 for the mini, $30 for shipping and import duty.

Ben, did this all work out easy enough in the end?

I'm thinking of ordering a mini if they have any stock.

Yep. I can't remember how long delivery took, but I don't remember getting frustrated at the wait.

I had a similar experience to Doylo re thick/stiff rubber on the send. It softens up quite a bit though, and I think the rubber is stickier.

I find the send better than the 5.10 for most knee bars
