Title: Vantage volt pads
Post by: wilkie113 on January 10, 2012, 06:31:47 PM
Well after buying some GM D30 pads, and realising I have been wearing pads that are far to big for me for a long while now. I decided to sell them on.
I can across these on S&J's little corner on the forum, and thought they looked lovely, and spoke to peplow about sizes, and they had small mens WINNER!

So I ordered these late last week, and they arrived mid afternoon today, excellent service for a start!
Opened up the package, and the first thing that struck me is the lovely package they come in.
First impressions are very good, and even if I don't like the pads I've got a lovely bag.
But on a serious note, I opened them up and they felt reasonably light, and the quality felt very very good, had a brief look around them and I can honestly say they felt a lot better than some of the bigger brands of pads I have had in the past. On par with the Ayrtek pads I had for definite, I wouldn't if have sold them on if they weren't too big :(.
I put them on, and they are lovely and comfortable, great fit, the straps are comfortable as well, I've had some pads where they dig into the legs. Obviously i cannot tell properly until I have netted/had a game in them but first signs are great. And great service from S&J cricket too!
Couldn't ask for any better.

They most certainly are. Luckily I got some blanks of equal quality from Peps, a fortnight before he posted these lol. Otherwise I would have been livid haha  :D

Played indoor today in these pads, and they are bloody lovely! Really easy to run in, and great protection, got rattled a few times on the pads, and didn't feel a thing! Definitely reccomend these to anyone :)
