Would suggest they're alright. Would never have paid £43 for them though.... what's your budget as there are a lot of good deals around. I know Bulldog and Vantage Softs are nearly half price at the moment, making them mega affordable!

yeah i do they are very uncomfortable they offer quite  good protection but they are really wide they dont look it in the picture but running between the wickets looks like youve got a rash in an uncomfortable place :/ i got them for that price in a clearance but i still wouldnt buy them at that price i would suggest looking at some of the forum sponsors end of season sale pads

Yeah, these are cheap for a reason and i wouldn't put these on my legs expecting much in the way of match day protection. Well worth scanning through what people have for sale. You a far better of spending a little more if you can just to ensure you feel protected... im sure there are a number of deals to be had.

I have Vantage Volt pads and for £20 odd pounds you will not find a better pair of pads.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

If you follow this link http://vantagecricket.co.uk/pads.php (http://vantagecricket.co.uk/pads.php) it'll give you more information on the Volt Pads there. 
I have them on offer at the moment for £25 with free postage which closer pictures of the pads can be found here > http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=19136.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=19136.0)
