Any chance the straps can be about 6cm or 7cm shorter than normal?

straps on the original batch of 2014 pads are a little shorter anyway. I still have some left, send me a PM and I can measure them for you :)
Having seen the initial work on the 2015 range, I'm sure it will be a hit. :)

Just posting here on behalf of Gary to let you know what we have in development for 2015.
2 core ranges which both reflect the African heritage of the brand, the decision was taken to name the ranges after some legendary African ideas. The Assegai spear and the Impi warrior formation/military tactic which revolutionised war on the continent and allowed the Zulus (and others) to dominate for much of the 1800's before eventual European victory.
Assagai: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assegai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assegai) - graphics on the bat will feature the words 'Lethal African Weapon'
Impi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impi)
To add to the separate topic with pictures of the pads, here are some photos of the gloves for 2015. Bat photos will follow and hopefully we will have a launch at Vitas Cricket similar to last year if/when we host a forum event over the Winter.

Prefer the blue to the purple but they look very nice!
-
The blue ones look amazing..great color scheme.
-
That turquoisey blue is very popular at the moment. Must say I like it.
Ian Bell's range of that colour with orange and the CK22's from M&H come to mind.
-
Love the blue, B&S are my favourite looking brand, might be in the market for some new B&S kit next season.
-
Loving this purple stuff they're doing this year no doubt I will end up with some of it!
-
Are B&S bat handles all oval at the bottom or do they also do round bat handles? The only things I like in oval are eggs;)
-
Really pleased to hear the positive feedback regarding the new colour-ways, wait until you see the bats, and in particular the prices! - Maintaining the same high quality as always of course.

If you aren't in too much of a rush I can sort you out with either option. Having said that, I've just run my hands over our current stock. It seems they have slowly migrated from quite a pronounced oval on some of the old stock towards a much rounder handle on more recent stock. Semi oval at most would be my current description of the handles.

Cheers Jake, no rush at all. I can wait for the new range to come out not looking to buy yet.

No problem, what i meant by no rush was that we can get something made the way you want it, as long as you don't expect a 5 day turnaround or anything ;) - with some additional info to suggest that the handles are getting rounder :)

Ok cool. I'll be in touch. I'm in need of a little bat/pads/gloves bundle for next season.

B&S realise that susage gloves are not everyones cup of tea we will be doing a 4 piece in the same colour ways pictures will be added once the design is approved

Just out of interest - why are the LE pads cheaper than the others? They look the same?

Last years pads Brucie, they are now on sale :)

Ah - but they look the same as the other pads - ie Superb quality. Come on Jake, I know you've tried them on!

Yes the new Assegai and Impis are from the same supplier and the same spec as the LE's. :)
