Few people have been helping with feedback to help with the product which is brilliant from a product development point of view.
Some have asked for a longer version (some preferred the first batch of 4 inch one and some like the branded 5 inch one). These will be unbranded and 6 inches long to cover the majority of your forearm when worn with your batting gloves.

They are due to reach me on Christmas Eve so I’ll try and get a batch knocked up before new year as they can be pre-ordered online now.

Fresh batch of these arrived today, 6 inches long and unbranded. Cover the majority of the forearm.
I’ll be knocking up a batch over Xmas in time for new year if anyone wants to get in early and pre-order via the webshop (thanks to those that have already 😊).

Managed to sneak out to the office to knock up a couple of samples this afternoon...

I've got stock of the 4 inch stubby in black now and have a fresh batch of the 4 inch and 6 inch white version arriving towards the middle of next week having sold out of both currently.
-
Really impressed with my six inchers.
After copping a ball on the thigh which just missed my inner thigh, I feel you should next experiment with circle shorts made entirely from D3O.
-
Funnily enough I’ve had a few pros asking about various bots as well which was why a care package from D3O reached me last week...

Quite common in the action sports world already, although it might be tricky to find a pair which padded exactly the right areas for cricket.

Yeh hence the search for something that can be adapted from the extreme sports/motorcycle market to suit the cricket needs with more localised areas of protection 👍

Dug through the garage looking for waterproofs yesterday and found this...

Who needs d30 anyway...
-
Rolling back the years, I got asked when I got did them and had to dig back through CBF to work out it was in 2009. That will have poron inside of it from the original batch I did, found a few of the original black ones for comparison the other day too.
-
Looking at this again, how does the poron foam compare to d30?
-
Testing my memory here but the Poron was thinner, D3O has superior impact absorption properties over it.
-
Ive worn one over my apple watch while batting to record a workout. Works well, although i haven’t tested if it would save the watch.

Seems most of the England squad went for the Super Size 6 inch version 👍

Having had this and the previous version
This seems is definitely thicker but still flexible enough but not sure if his sewing is better haha
Looking forward to using this as xl one a good version

Is there a current forum discount code Tom before I purchase a 6 incher?

Hi mate, afraid not as demand is practically outstripping supply after the weekend orders. It’s likely I’ll run out of D3O foam for the 6 inch Model as what I thought would last me well until the season has already sold and I can get the new drop until after April 1st once they’ve finished making it to ship.
So if you want one get in early or they will be on back order again until early April 😆
-
So have you not got any in stock at the moment then? Shall I wait until April to order instead?

Yep in stock atm if you want to order 👍

I've ordered one maxi size. If you happen to have a maxi size with the logo on then I'd prefer that. But the size is more important.
-
The logo is only on the 5 inch models as it seems pros aren’t allowed to use a branded version and quite a few people preferred them logo free 🥺

Order all received though and I’ll get it en route today for you 👍

Thanks. Hopefully I typed the post code right this time...

Great order placed!
-
Loving mine so far. The only issue I have with them is that you can see the orange protection through the wristband itself. I think I might have to beg Mr Ayrtek to make me some custom ones with the D3O wrapped in white material, then stitched into the wristband.
-
Or just not worry about it :-0
-
My lad loves his, he had a real problem with arm guards being big and cumbersome and was made to wear one by the coaches which is understandable he's only 12, but he finds it very comfortable and after netting with it that he forgets he has it on and has been seen bowling with it still on!
I've just ordered another for myself but I've been approached by another club member who wants one!
-
Wow! Mine arrived today! Such amazing service thank you Tom! Love it!

Cool, glad it arrived safely 👍 trying my best to keep up with demand 😂

IJC has just put a review up:

-
Blimey be does waffle on. I liked the mallet test, I think that probably hurt a bit though. Great product though...
-
Yeh its the balance between thickness of foams and function, I could make them so that the foam is 20mm thick but then it would be closer to a traditional arm guards thickness which from feedback a lot of people wouldn't opt to wear.
They are labelled Hybrid for the reason in that they are predominantly a sweatband but with an element of protection should you get pinned.
Feedback has been great in terms of fine tuning the product and I'm always happy to accommodate special requests in the event someone does want something different (as a few CBF members have).
-
Sure, no criticism of the product intended, people obviously really like it.
My personal comment would be to make a larger version that covers wrist and forearm, maybe articulated with two or more pieces of the rubber. I have experimented in the nets with wearing the medium sized one plus the large one and this covers me almost up the the elbow. Still comfortable and light weight. Mostly academic for me though as I'm very tall and have never been hit on the elbow (yet)
-
Bit late to the party on these but with cricket round the corner ordered two tonight! (Birthday present from the Mrs) one green one white! Can't wait to try them out
-
Thanks Alex, trying to keep up with demand currently which is a nice problem to have. Didnt expect to be scaling up volumes quite as quickly as they have :)
-
Hybrids arrived today, quick try on with gloves and they feel great! cant wait to try them first games Saturday and Sunday
Thanks for getting them out so quickly @Ayrtek Cricket
-
No worries mate, hope they serve you well 👍
-
For those members that don’t follow me on social media (and who could blame you!) the Hybrids are now available in navy blue as a stock option over the 3 sizes.

Save 10% when purchasing 2 or more with HYBRID10 at the checkout 👍
-
Anyone have one of these and the escu one, interested to see how they compare to one another?
-
I have both and the Ayrtek is far more comfortable but a little less protection.
-
Ayrtek all the way. Much comfier and you get to support a forum sponsor too!

Have you got the PRO model of mine @SurreySam or the stock option?
The PRO comes with a plastic outer layer paired with the D3O foam compared to the stock option hence why I'd be interested to know as know you were an early adopter.
-
Thanks Tom, yes I had some from your first batch. Didn't realise that you had developed the product further.
Something else now to add on the shopping list :D

Ah cool, useful to know as know you did a product comparison but wasn't sure if this was of the stock model as the PRO model only came about a few months later due to demand from the Glos lads. Some of the Pro's use the stock option but the majority use the PRO model as it offers the rigid plastic outer for the extra layer of protection.
