Evening guys,
after the outage ive finally had chance to get some images up of the soft good samples i received. still waiting on the WK pads and the larger bag as these had to be remade due to errors on them.
there are a few minor tweaks to make on some of the products but most of them are pretty much right
Medium sized wheelie

Good stuff Johnny! Always nice to see a boutique brand expanding.
Keep up the good work
-
I must say mate, very very impressed it looks like you have tried to do something different with your softs which is great to see, really love the pad designs mate, if I wasn't sorted I would be in the market for some of these softs, bag also looks a decent size although as a wk/ batsmen a bigger option would be great.
How much out of curiosity or is that to be decided.
-
I really like the look of those pads. Bit different looking, but nothing silly. Very nice work John. Bag looks decent as well

costs to be confirmed at the moment, nothing silly but just need to know exactly what they are working out at. the bag pictured is just a mid sized bag. 2 full length bat pockets and a decent sized main pocket. should be able to fit your keeping kit in there aswell. Plenty of room around the pads that are in there atm. a larger one is being made atm as the sample i got was wrong. its a fair bit bigger. should easily fit in a keeper batsmans kit and more.
-
thanks for the feedback so far guys. been a long time coming but we are getting there. unfortunately couldnt get them out in time for this season but should hopefully be available soon.
-
Them pads are very nice indeed something a bit different great looking top bat not too bulky and pronounced knee rolls very nice mate
-
Look good mate, different to other brands
-
I need all of these in my life, ASAP. Red gear always attracts my eyes, and cash!
Really do like the look of these mate.

Will let you know when the stock arrives

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those sausage finger gloves.....really are awesome, the bag also looks like the best of its kind from the pictures, also like the look of the pads, my one criticism would be the Pyro and LE pads arent hardly different. I personally would have done what tomtek did and have them to the same protection spec but with a different design.
top work though, keep it up!
-
Excellent gear John, although only thing I would add is that white on bat pockets of you bag seems not quiet right. Other than that everything looks fantastic. Love the gloves :)
What are the estimated prices?
-
Really digging the looks of those pads! Also love the colour scheme on the gloves Look great.
-
I'll echo the sentiments of others so far - all looks very smart mate, especially those pads.
-
everything looks great but i am truly impressed by the design of the bag. very thoughtful and looks good. all the best

what do you mean not quite right? the colour?
prices will be released shortly once i know finalised costs.

Lovely looking gear John. Very impressed with your first go at Softs. Really like the look of the LE gloves and the pads! The keeping gloves are also very classy.
Would perhaps have just tried to include a touch more red on the Pyro design as well, will make it pop a bit more.
From a more practical point of view I would also suggest that you carefully consider the amount of white you currently have in the bag design. Could get dirty very quickly and make the bags look a bit worn. Would you perhaps consider swapping the white and the red around?

thanks mate,
i was trying to use all the colours i had on the stickers in there. white is not an ideal colour but nice to be a little different. ive got someone who will be trialling this bag so will see how it goes from there.
on the red front i didnt want to make it too red and therefore garish and horrible. i may look to change that a little bit as the designs have come out nicely at the current level of red. no harm having a little more i guess.
-
I am also happy to test out your gear if needed ;)

Thought as much. I think the bag looks great as is but it will be good to have an idea of how the white works out in wet conditions.
Too much red would be a bit garish but I was thinking more along the lines of a thinner strip of red next to the silver on the front or perhaps some red in between the finger splits. Would keep the red down to a minimum and just give you a flash of colour. Best way to get a rough idea is to get somebody to do some photoshop with regards to inserting the colours. You'll get a good indication if it works or not without having any more samples made.

ayrtek for the bag? its nothing like it. theirs is massive and stands up this isnt and doesnt. lol
2 bat pockets
2 pockets at other side
1 pocket at the end lol
only difference is it doesn't stand up and opens fully

Stuff looks good.

personally i like the colour scheme of this to the ayrtek as well as the overall design

its actually got a pocket at either end. both are the same so didnt see the point in taking images of both ends. yes it does have those features but then so do alot of bags. the bag also has a curved top rather than a rectangle, the pockets are different shapes so is a completely different shape/bag. its also only got 2 wheels rather than 3 and a strap to wheel it along with rather than the telescopic handle. other than that i see your point :D

as odd as it sounds i do know what you mean. i had similar thoughts when i first saw them. as previously mentioned the bag will be tested shortly so im sure it will get grubby. will see what it looks like after that.
thanks for the feedback though guys, nice to have other opinions on them
