Title: Yellow sweat stains
Post by: toenails97 on March 31, 2013, 07:36:31 PM: Alright Lads,
Im awaiting some kit from Jake @ Vitas cricket which concludes of the new GN Legend pads. Anyways my GM original LE pads have yellow sweat staining on the shin bolster which looks awful in my opinion. Does anyone know how to stop the white getting stained yellow???

Cheers
Tony

I think it's pretty unavoidable unless you have detachable inserts.

Brilliant tip, something I learnt after ruining a pair of brand new pads a few seasons back :(
