Title: GN pads vs Salix arma
Post by: abdulwq on July 23, 2016, 03:50:54 PM: Anyone used the GN pads from sports direct. They seem to be resonabally priced but i am bit concerned about how is the protection and what is the medium size fit for a 5.8" tall guy.?

I really like the looks of Salix Arma pads. Are they made in England? Please share where is the cheapest available? is the noraml size a good fit for 5.8" or do they come in medium sizes??

Bought a bag from them, the handle snapped 2 weeks later, they refused to deal with the refund & return for a faulty product even after I had contacted Kookaburra who said I had to deal with reseller. Thankfully after I showed the evidence of CD's lack of support Kookaburra agreed to send me a new bag FOC.

Definitely recommend them - love GN softs.
