Title: Gray Nicolls Pads!
Post by: cheese on October 13, 2012, 09:27:46 PM: As some of you may be aware I'm a Gray Nicolls fan boy. Most of my kit is Gray Nicolls including my pads. I'm looking to replace my 2011 Nitro Players pads with another set of top end Gray Nics pads and I'd like peoples opinions and ideas on which ones to get and where from...
Thanks in Advance,
Ollie

They do look nice though as I do look at the G.N Australia ranges. My mother is meeting her Australian friend in November and might get the Aussie friend to bring me a set of Kaboom 1000/L.E gloves over. Love them!!! Could do the same with the pads but they way considerably more than gloves...

I am one of the fussiest people when it comes to gear, but the E41 750 Pads are among the best I've used. I was PREPARED if I have to, to spend the top line to get the right pads, but these were far more comfy, light and fitted than any of the other pads.

I would be comfortable recommending them to someone who was buying online. If not, Id definitely recommend the E41 pad range (is it available in the UK?), as all their pads are good.

I've also seen the new maverick elite pads on Morrant so might wait for those to become available...
