Title: Trouble with my Iridium gloves
Post by: Liam-SCCC on March 27, 2011, 01:48:54 PM
Hi guys

I bought some 2011 Puma Iridium 5000 gloves at Somerset County Sports at their gear launch day and have used them 7 times. They were fine but after todays net it seems as if the elastic has gone in part of the wrist band.

I'm not saying this is bad by Puma, I love their gloves and think they are the best on the market. It doesn't effect how the gloves feel or how they fit. But you can see it and it makes them look tacky in my opinion. I've had a pair of puma gloves for the last 2 season and they haven't done this.

Just wondered if there is anything I could do and would it warrant a replacement?

The'll likely replace them if you take them back.

This does show people on here care way too much about how kit looks mind you  :D

Yep, very precise about how my gear looks

I'd say more picky than precise  ;)

Each to their own and all that though, I think I'm better suited to looking scruffy when I bat,don't want anyone getting the wrong impression and thinking I can bat!

Just read their returns policy

Returns Policy
We offer a very fair returns policy, should your goods not be the correct size or colour. We offer either an exchange of goods or a total refund of the goods, providing that the goods have not been used, are returned in their original packaging and that you meet the cost of any additional postage incurred in completing the return. We suggest for your own security, that you use a recorded delivery service for any goods that you return to us

all though i think that just applies to online ordered

That'll be for returns rather than faulty goods though.

They will replace them, they are a big store with a good reputation, they would want to keep it that way.

Don't want to have to drive up there next weekend, as my wages come in this week so could be dangerous!

Hope I can just post them back.

They are great gloves I was probably just unlucky

I took my gloves in last week and they said they would send them off to puma on Monday.

It has now been a week, surely they would have made it to puma and been looked at by now.

It took them 2-3 weeks for them to tell GCCC the outcome after I sent my Flextech 6000 away 2 years ago (pad straps started ripping).

Just had a phone call from SCS, Puma have sent a replacement pair. So I have a brand new pair waiting for me.

Just got to get to Taunton to collect them now!

I soon as I took my brand new set out I could see the same thing just not as bad. And after 1 net it's happening again!

I'm not going to bother sending them off again. I tried on some Calibre 5000 gloves yesterday and I noticed the wrist band was very tight where as on my iridiums I have to do them up tight as they are a bit loser.

Probably would have gone with the calibres over the iridium if they had them when I bought them
