Title: worth taking back?
Post by: Canners on July 05, 2011, 06:39:25 PM

I bought some legend pads a few weeks back and have used them for about 4 innings, i came off sunday and noticed that the bottom strap is fraying, i have never experienced this on my pads before and am considering taking them back...... even though they've finally stopped squeaking now lol

what do you think guys?

Hardly a major issue but when you've shelled out that much you'd expect better, take them back.

fraying will only get worse i would think unless u melt the ends to avoid it going further....similar material to what we use on the chin straps :)

I would take them back and ask as they will either send them away to be fixed, or they will say they are fine (I like to let the shop know early if there is a problem). That's assuming that the shop is close by and that you have other pads to use should they send them away, otherwise you could email them the photos and see what they say.

ive exchanged emails and have been advised to wear them a bit longer until they deteriate more then grays should offer a replacement, as if ssent back now they will just repair them..... so i will wear them til the end of the season i reckon then get them swapped :)
