Title: Padded straps
Post by: AVCC on March 13, 2014, 10:45:40 PM: Just bought a pair of Woodstock platinum pads and was wondering if there is anyway to pad the straps . Had some towelling/padded straps on my last pair (Vulcan Cricket) and they were probably the comfiest things I've ever worn!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Surprised they don't have them tbh - Hence the reason all our new range will have extra padding included (big redevelopment coming for later in the year, the samples are being worked on already!)

Halfords do some for £5 a pair. Post me the other one :-)

Think that might be genius. Will have a look at these next week if I can't get anything else sorted!
