Title: Large Mens Batting Pads
Post by: Howwyx on August 05, 2014, 04:06:59 PM: Hey guys,

I'm struggling to find some top quality large mens batting pads. I've had a look in the usual places but can't seem to find anything.
I'm 6'3 and have previously felt that normal mens pads are on the small side and have preferred large mens. I've currently got some Salix large mens one's which are perfect size for me.

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has any recommendations for large mens batting pads. May just go back with Salix ones as I know they are the right size, but have just bought some new SF bat and gloves, and wanted to keep all the same brand, but looks like SF only do normal mens? Aslong as the pads are as white as possible with no real bright trims then the better.

Cheers
Mat

Thanks guys, I will be looking into these for sure. Do you think the offer will be on at the end of next week VKS? Im away as of the weekend so I've got to keep myself plenty of travel money. Going amsterdam, so you know! haha!

I'm not a fan of Gray Nic's gear, I liked it 5 years ago or so but it just looks a bit meh to me now. Same with puma in recent years.
Thanks for the options though guys.

Nice one dude, will check them out also. Worse case scenario I can cover up the logos.
