I have always found standard sizes to be a little too big, the kind where strap keeps flapping about when fully done in. For the last 2 seasons I have been using Aero P1s and they have been brilliant. I am now looking to switch to a more traditional pair and will welcome recommendations.
They need to be on the smaller size as I have skinny calves. Also need to fit well with strippers.
Could do with something cheaper or even semi used, doesn't really need to be test level as I doubt there are any bowlers who pitch in at more than 75mph in our league.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Speak to Procricket he can point you in the right direction for some small but decent fit pads.

What height are you mate ? I am only 5" 5' and use Willostix youth pads currently. I have previously used Bas Bow 20/20 in youth and SG Test youth pads. I never had trouble with any of the pads stated. Harrow sports sells SG test pads for a very good price.

Thanks Blazer I am just under 5'9"
Did you have any trouble running with SG, how heavy are they. I am used to the Aeros which are extremely light.

Sareen sports men's off ebay are Indian men's small men's really
Online stockiest do blank small men's both in Ss and sg test style.
Blazer makes some good suggestions
Bas make a very good small men's pads as well
I sure others do including chase who make a very decent fitted small men's in both flc and r11 models

Ahh of course Batman...I have met him once. Will drop him a line to see what he has got. My only concern is weight and as I have said before I want something as light as Aeros or near.

The Ss ones are light mate very light

I haven't yet. Think they will be out of my budget.

I have the two strap pumas in youth size and love them.

My mate had then in Mens which I tried and I have to agree they are amazing. Just don't like the look. They are quite expensive as well, I think he paid around £100.

I use the GN Oblivion pads in small mens and they fit my skinny legs well. Very comfortable and good protection.

Got some GM 808 from Lord's sale for £25
Fits very well, and seem light enough.
Not happy with the straps hanging out though.
Very tempted to just chop them off a couple of inches.

There are still some bargins around, I just won these on ebay, same ones that I am using, so I now have a spare pair

My new ones were only £30 as well

Bellingham and Smith Supreme pads are a very compact fit, in between a mens and a small mens size in my opinion.
-
Received this M&H Alpha in Youth Size from SOULMAN which makes GM808 surplus, perfect fit and straps don't hang out either. Seem really light too, one of my best impulse buys

Just tried on my new ss reset opener pads, definitely a bit smaller than usual, great looking pads too and really comfy, feel light but as I'm new again to cricket not tried that many on
