Contemplating some new pads and gloves for the 2016 season and noticed the NV range are reasonably priced (on sale) on the H4L website.
http://www.h4l.co.uk/collections/batting-protection/products/nv-batting-pads?variant=1233373633 (http://www.h4l.co.uk/collections/batting-protection/products/nv-batting-pads?variant=1233373633) - £50
http://www.h4l.co.uk/products/nv-classic-batting-gloves?variant=6688248321 (http://www.h4l.co.uk/products/nv-classic-batting-gloves?variant=6688248321) - £27.50
Anybody used H4L pads/gloves before and kind enough to share their experiences?
Any other suggestions for pads/gloves for a similar price?
Thanks.
-
Is that the range you were using @Northern monkey?
-
Yes I think they are mate really like my new pads and gloves are lovely
-
I used these softs last season (and probably will this season) they are excellent, some of the best I've used, pads are top notch as are both models of gloves, I prefer the split finger ones but I have the sausages too and they're also great, a steal at that price too!

I've got a pair of Blue NV pads for T20s, they are excellent! Nice and light with top protection
-
Yeah, I've changed to them this year, being northern and extremely tight, I went with last years bargain offerings from Matt.
The pro range.
The new custom range is stunning, and I would say as good if not better than anything out there.
These need to be seen to be appreciated, I would be scared to get them dirty!
I will definitely get some next year
I've used all sorts over the years, gray nicks, slazenger etc, last two seasons I've used affinity, which were excellent and the back end of last season ss ones, as the pittards went on the affinity gloves.
The h4l pro ones, feel as good as the affinity softs
Can't comment too much on protection as I try to use the bat more than my gloves and pads, but the h4l pads have all the bells and whistles regarding padding and cups etc as do the gloves
Only thing I'd say is try and have a look at some and try them on.
I'm incredibly picky with the feel of gloves, and for the way the h4l ones feel and play, I can't recommend them highly enough

Def with you on that!
Si was modelling the H4L Custom pads and gloves and they looked fantastic. Tried on his gloves and they felt great - with the exception of being a little sweaty!! Really need to try them on BEFORE Si has his net next time!! :(

Pete, you need to put a little vid of that warbird pro of yours, I'd have taken that home no bother, and it's a good three ounce heavier than what I normally use.
-
Well you lot are a nightmare for my kit addiction! :-[
Drawing my attention to the softs on sale prices, I'm suddenly very tempted by the NV pads and NV Classic batting gloves...
Wait, even with the sale priced I'd be spending £105 on a pair of pads and 2 pairs of gloves...
I predict a mass sale of my gear coming up so I can fund myself a new stash of H4L goodness! :D
I am blaming the forum for this craving! (well, mainly @simonmay5, @Northern monkey & @petehosk actually, keep seeing the quality of your kit up close doesn't help)
-
i have last years pro gloves and absolutely love them.wish i had bought a second pair.
-
For £27.50 i might have to beg the missus for her card!

So the general consensus is they're worth the money?
Problem is, I hadn't noticed the gloves were sausage fingers, and I'm not a fan. From what's been said though, it might be worth shelling out for slightly more expensive gloves, to get the split fingers.
-
They are indeed and are worth the money that's for sure
-
£27.50 for NV Classic (Sausage fingers)
£32.50 for NV Pro (Split fingers) Scrap that, they're only available in left handed :-[
£80 for customs it it then, may as well get this years pads too if you're getting this years gloves! ;)

They're reasonably flexible for sausages to be fair. I'm presuming you mean last seasons classic gloves?
-
@Northern monkey @northernboy1987 would you be able to say what the weight, max width, length from instep to the middle of the knee roll of these pads are please? If you get a moment to check. :D
-
Sorry mate, the pads are handy but I've just had a look and I don't have a tape measure!

Anyone know how the gloves come up size-wise? Had a few issues with size variations in other brands before so don't want to make a mistake again..
-
I find the regular mens fit me well and I have pretty average sized hands, didn't notice much difference from the Woodworm gloves I'd been using previously.

I'd say they are slightly larger than GN Legends.
-
Ordered the NV pads and NV classic gloves after realising that my current gloves are sausage fingers too!
Anyone know roughly how long H4L take to deliver?

You won't be disappointed mate, they really are top notch.
-
You lot have convinced me that I need some H4L softs in my life! :-[
Being a stingy git I'll go for the NV pads and NV classic gloves, can't wait to get my grubby paws on them!
The look the dogs danglees, and for the bargain price they're going for at the moment they're proper naughty! :D
-
Bargain price? Where?
-
Bargain price? Where?
On H4L site, last years models.. Really tempted myself now I have a devil and warbird bats!! This bloody forum costs me to much... Ha ha..
-
Bargain price? Where?
Pads at £50, gloves £32.50 and £27.50. Very reasonable
-
Yeah not i have to decide whether to buy new gloves and new indoor shoes and get shot with not having any money... Or wait hmmm
-
Your missus sounds like mine!! :o
They are all programmed the same! At least men like different sports, women just like shoes...
-
Luckily she's not too bad with me buying cricket gear. If she was, I'd just have to point to the Louboutins she got for Christmas :D
-
Pro ones only in small men's left hand though! The classic ones are lush though
I have a spare pair of men's RH pro gloves if anyone really wants this model I'll help out at the £32.50 they cost plus a little postage
-
Email today confirming dispatch. Very excited - will get some pictures up once received.

@SOULMAN1012 Are they new bud? I will take em off your hands??

Took the plunge and ordered a pair of NV pads. This site is going to bankrupt me.
I've been a member since Christmas and I've already bought a H4L Hellfire, Adidas Howzat Boots and now some H4L NV pads. Please....no more!
-
This site is going to bankrupt me.
Now theres a tagline for the forum if ive ever seen one !
Saying that since christmas: b3 3stripe bespoke, sl22s, ayrtek helmet, nv classics, full keeping gear and a supernova duffle.
Embrace it, it happens to the strongest willed of us.

Yeah does say in their website next day delivery service, ordered mine late last night so hoping mine turn up friday or saturday
-
Gloves and pads arrived today.
On the right hand glove the index and middle fingers split at the mid-finger knuckle. Don't think they are supposed to do that?
I'll get a picture up when I'm home.
-
Hi, replied on twitter.
Yes the split is by design to add the natural curve and extra flexibility. Without it the gloves would feel rigid. You will see the sections interlock around the split.
Hope you like them. Thanks for ordering.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of LH H4L gloves for a bargain? I've got the new custom softs but just want an extra pair for my sweaty hands mainly for nets... Anyone selling a semi new pair?
-
Have you tried inners?

I haven't, but not sure I'd want to layer up my hands. May give them a go, but would love to get a cheap second pair of H4L Left handed gloves too.

They work wonders with my sweaty hands!
-
which ones do you have?
-
Just half finger Gray Nics, my gloves come out dry and once you have the gloves on you don't notice you're wearing inners.
-
Two innings with custom pads and gloves (we start early in China) very comfortable.
