Obo chest pad popular with Aus goalies

It seems the Obo chest pad is quite popular with international goalkeepers, with some goalkeepers making use of it in spite of wearing other kit, like some of the goalkeepers in Australia. Nathan Burgers was wearing it when representing Australia at the recent Olympics, before his retirement from international matches and his replacement (and back-up at the time), Andrew Charter also wears it. Obviously both wear Mazon for their remaining kit; Burgers used an Obo helmet and Charter an Itech admittedly, but nonetheless the foam is Mazon. Perhaps it is because of the lightweight feel and individual foam pieces and properties that make it such a hit!
