Hey guys any foams or paddings you would recommend for cheek pieces? Currently shooting off a KRG bravo and MDT LSS XL 2.
Cheek piece comfort

I just run some self stick thin foam from amazon.
It’s comfy even those cold winter mornings.

If you want more padding and a bit of Gucci factor, I've used these on my AIs and like them a lot. Only downside is they add a lot more thickness than a sheet of foam, so if you're limited on how low your cheekpiece goes, or you need it shifted far to one side, it might affect your head & eye position.

I use the super fancy $2 for 3 pieces of CVS branded Moleskin. It's not color coordinated so if you have gucci tendencies beware
I rolled up tool box liner and taped it with that funky sports tape.
Not Gucci, more like And1.

Here is the sticky suede I used. It grips my beard real nice.

I use the same suede on my Bergara hmr and my vedder iwb holster.

It made a huge difference. It’s nice because the material isn’t thick so it doesn’t change the dimensions of the holster. It’s also kept that suede softness for almost two years now. It’s a cheap upgrade that I’d do to any holster.
I think that’s better stuff than I got.
Mine is low density.
Booby soft.
Maybe I do have the good stuff
I have the Wiebad pad for my McM A5, and Hoptic USA saddle cheek covers for my JAE chassis', and I prefer the cheaper Hoptic USA ones to Wiebad. The Wiebad starts to get uncomfortable if you are sweating.
The DIY versions mentioned above are essentially the same thing as the Hoptic USA pieces I use, and cheaper. That's probably your best bang for your buck.

The Armageddon Gear cheeky bastard is the best thing I've used, and I have used almost everything suggested in this thread. It does take a bit for the mesh to break in and not feel scratchy, but it's *well* worth the short break in period.
On my old MDT chassis I took a paint roller and applied some plasti-dip to the cheek piece. Once it was halfway set up I smoothed it out with a wet finger for slight texture. Was a little softer than the polymer, added just enough texture, and best of all, felt less cold on the 0 deg range trips. When I sold it I just pealed it off. Probably will try some of the self adhesive foam on my Bravo before getting a Wiebad Mini.
As soon as I get the padding in and install Ill post some pictures.
Wiebad cheekriser pad works great and requires no glueing, never had an issue with it being uncomfortable, sweat, or otherwise.!
I use adhesive craft foam as well. I had issues with it peeling up, I used rubber cement under the edges.
I like a very thin pad and went with a self adhesive felt used on bows. It seems tough enough, and really keeps the cold stock comfortable. I picked it up on Amazon.
Ok got the sticky foam today that canezach recomended. I cleaned my cheek piece with isopropyl alcohol as was recommended placed a pad and followed with a razor. So far everything is sticking like it should and is very comfortable. I have never been good in staying in the lines so my cutting was not the best but it’ll do. Thanks to everyone that helped me out with this.
