Ayrtek,
Any idea on when the 2010 Ayrtek softs will be arriving ?
Cheers
-
Sorry mate only just seenthis topic...they are being designed currently but not sure were going to change too much apart from the colour schemes for the gloves and improve the traditional pads with a new design.
Modern pads will remain in the range but perhaps with a different colour trim etc.
Missed the 2010 season as been concentrating on sorting out the helmets in all honesty, so prob get some samples made up in the next month or so as had plenty of people offering to make the softs for us.
-
TOM
As a soft's nut would i be as bold as saying could a purchase a sample pair from you once your finished with them
-
I would be up for purchasing samples :)
-
Looking forward to the blue colour scheme ;)
(this isn't true for anyone thinking it is)
-
depends how many samples I can wangle out of them as they tend not to produce large batches!

Ok, Tom no problem. Defo go with a blue though .. Modern pads with a blue colour scheme would look slick ;) (Colesy will agree with me there)
-
Lol well, depends what they look like ;)
Cut/block gloves are the way forward :D
-
had a set of the pads in clue before when we 1st had them sampled as blue was Ayrtek original company colour until we had a new logo designed!
-
Nah, I think green as their stock bat stickers are green. Also I love green kit first and pink second. Look how 'epic' green was for puma with the 2007 world gear.
-
All about Teardrop Technologies lol ;) :D
-
Thomas how about Grizzly style stuff i.e. Green, pink and blue colour schemes? :D
-
After Dans flourescent helmet think that goes well with silver but then people will think were ripping off the Gilly gloves with the red and flor yellow stuff.
Will have to have a crack on photoshop and see what you peeps think later on this week!
-
Anything but plain ;)
-
yeah tom, the lumo yellow looks very slick, all matching now ;)
-
Lol well, depends what they look like ;)
Cut/block gloves are the way forward :D
Omg! I think im turning into Colesy Jnr ;)
-
Lol it's contageous
-
Lol it's contageous
Haha :)
-
Soft good designs are underway and sent off for 1st run sampling :)
-
Just the couple months wait to get them back in the wrong colours and design then :D
Look forward to seeing them, using the airbladder design still?
By the way - tried on ayrtek finally, really good fit and very comfortable......when i can sneak £100 past the other half it will be coming your way.
-
Lol yeh will await to see what arrives seem to have every company in India/Pakistan emailing about their credentials!!
Starting with just the glvoes for the moment will use the ACIS for the gloves once we are happy with the samples etc
Which lid was that mate?
-
It was one Mike had with him, i think it was white with a red ayrtek logo.
-
Ah right hes got a couple with him now both white lol so doesnt narrow it down one is one of the first ones we made and the other more recent....glad you like it though :) should be improved again if I can get people to stop taking holidays and do the work for us!!!

Can we see the designs you sent off ?
-
Glove styles havent changed mate just some tweaks to the colour schemes, materials etc.
Pad are set to be re-vamped in terms of the traditional model and sticking with the modern style as well
-
Cool. Any idea when they will be ready ? As i'd love a pair of samples.
-
Not as yet mate as only emailed off the specs for the top gloves this morning will give them a day to digest and then find out timelines etc

Awesome .. so you still using the Red & White Theme ?
-
Really looking forward to seeing these, imagine it will be quite a while though!
-
Variety of colours now as got bored of just red and White....hope they won't take too long will find out how long were looking at to get something back
-
Can you keep us up to date on when we can expect pics etc?
-
will do....only emailed the first spec sheet off this morning so will give it a day and ask a few questions
-
looking at the end of the month for our samples to be back with us with any luck :)
-
Well march turning into April....April to May and now hopefully at the end of June we will have our new range of soft goods samples back with us :)
we have re-vamped the glove colours but stuck with the same designs as they seem popular with the players/public as well as a few others ;) the traditional pads have been improved upon and we have some clothing, bat covers and a stand-up bag sample on the way too!!
-
Would like more info on the bag as I broke mine :(
-
i havent seen it myself yet mate but i sent them the design spec....should be here by saturday with any luck so can see what its like then mate.....ill give you 1st dibbs on it if its any good ;)
-
Shotgun! ;)
-
At last tom hope they get to you safe so we can sort something
-
Same here mate should be dispatched tomorrow and here by Saturday with any luck!
-
Looking forward to seeing the club gloves!!!
-
yeah tom when you have a picture of the traditional pads lets have a butchers
-
Not sure if I'll put pics up as they are only a first sample so changes will still be made to them to perfect them...will have to see once we recieve them what they are like exactly
-
Let me know what the bat covers are like mate
-
oh i love it when new softs are about any chance of a private view tom love me softs i do
-
Yeh will do mate asked for pics of them before dispatch, they are black with our web address embroidered down the side in red. Full length ones with a velcro flap I think so should do a job keeping ur baby safe!
-
Cool well you know the mail address as will sort out when your happy with everything
-
Ohhh, something Ayrtek related I could add to my collection?
-
No probs mate...will have a look at everything upon delivery and can go from there! Got 25 bat cases coming tho as they are useful IMO when forking out on a bat to keep in dent and studmark free!!
-
Sneek peek of the traditional pads...not the final version as the straps still need tweaking as well as logos etc upon them....

-
Are these two separate models? If so which one is the higher model?
-
Looking very good Tom, top ones would be my choice!
-
yeh they are meant to be the test version, may make some changes still as this is only the first run of samples as were looking to get the kit in for Auguest/September time...be good to get some feedback to see what people think as it all helps with progress
-
I really like the top ones too... a nice combo of the SS ones and the Bas Vampire pads, both of which I also really like. Is there any way you can make the piping around the bottom of the pad, where it rubs on the shoe, extra resiliant? my pads always get knackered their in no time and it is pretty irritating!
-
I prefer the front of the top pads, but the back of the bottom ones! I guess its all about the front though
-
Sorry tom, not a fan of either the design is pretty generic, i would have thought you would want something a little more innovative?
-
yes seedy these are the traditional pads that people have asked us to look at as not everyone wants to go for the modern looking pads. Trying to cover both the innovative and traditional sides of the market to maximise market appeal! :)
-
I dont think the colours are quite right yet - i think the silver knee protector on the top pair of pads could do with being a different colour, either that or change the top hat background colour to silver as well as the shin bolster?
I know these are just samples so no point being over critical, they just look like they need a little bit of tweaking.......however, these things often look better in the flesh! Are you happy with them Tom?
-
havent received them yet mate to look at properly as only have the pics...need to dig out the spec sheets i sent and see if they match up design wise. Will do that once all the stuff is recieved and then can look at alterations as see what matches up to the spec's provided :)
think they look good in terms of providing a traditional looking pads to meet the criteria, hard to be ground breaking with every product lol
-
One assumes that you guys send a design off to the factory (which i again assume is in India) they then make a few prototypes and you go back and forth until your happy. They are then "mass" produced?
-
indeed mate, unless you take the trip out there to oversee production of said samples and make the alterations there and then. :)
-
Do they offer a template pad to start from and you then add your own ideas? I know there isnt a huge amount you can do with pads to make them different, but, ive noticed that alot of companies have similar looking pads. Now ive added 2 + 2 together (and may well have got 5) and assumed they all came from the same factory. Dont know whether you can confirm or deny that
-
it would be a bit demanding if everything came from the same factory as im sure many brands use different manufactuers...there are 100's of companies who offer the service so its just a case of finding one that meets the quality and provides the service you want and that your comfortable with.
-
ah ok, just seemed to be a rough template on pads as to me alot of them look very similar. although unless you go down the aero route there isnt really too much difference in most pads
-
well we already have a modern design of pad that we are happy with so trying to produce something more tradtional looking this time to complete the range. All traditional pads are going to require the same basic design template all be it with a few alterations to each design.
-
They look good Tom, Like the bottom pair most. Very disappointed there is no blue involved :(
Happy Birthday to your bro too!
-
I'll be honest - I dont like them at all. Very generic and not all that traditional either. How about just a traditional no frills design - cane like construction but actually made form HDF so its light and wraps around well? Something simple like this imo:
http://www.kingsgrovesports.com.au/cricket/images/upload/gray-nicolls-legend-cricket-pad.jpg
-
because they've already be done too and aren't very nice.
I like them! Not mad about the ayrtek on the front knee roll and bottom! But general design and colouring is good, except maybe not a strong enough red and the silver needs to be matched elsewhere imo, but looking smart thomas!
-
Recieved a few snaps of the mid-range glove and been having a play with the green, silver and black colour scheme to tie in with the bat stickers....

-
In the nicest possible way, these look pretty star trek stylee - perhaps like the gloves the martians would wear in the match against the earth team!!
:o
-
Do you have any shark tooth design gloves in the pipeline tom?
Liam
-
Buzz glad you think our designs are out of this world lol!!! (You can tell its friday and i had a day on the sauce yesterday)
Liam yes we have all 3 styles of glove being sampled so once recieved ill get some images up.....they are not the final version but a working progress as such until we are happy with the colour schemes/designs etc
-
They are actually growing on me - although I think the fingers look a bit small, like these are youth size.
-
yeh these are the youth version but they are a replica of the adult ones as all gloves are made to the same spec to keep the protection levels the same no matter what size they are made in :)
-
gloves look nice. That ayrtek logo also looks more professional, maybe its coz of the silver/black combo. I like the design but would prefer more green, because it looks out of place just on the sidebar. And lose the silver smarties on all finger apart from 2 leading fingers lol
5/10 imo - current gloves are better
-
maybe for each colour scheme the "smarties" could be coloured as well so green in this case etc?
-
tom i like them look different to most on the market which is fueled by imitations after imitations
-
Thanks mate, looking to keep things original and different from other brands to set ours apart as with the majority of our products!
-
get the pads right we could be talking notes....
nothing wrong with your current pads just not me bud
-
The "smarties" are hard disks of plastic that are present to protect your knuckles/joints of the fingers as areas of extra protection. Colours could be interchanges but Tring to tie everything in with silver, black and green as mentioned earlier
-
yeah, i fugured thay were there for a reason, i meant if the colour sticker of the same-part-of-the-range bat was green, then the disks of plastic could be green? im not sure if im making any sense :S
-
Yeh I get what u mean mate did have that as one of the designs on Photoshop but didn't quite look right IMO
-
fair enough, what about changing the colour of the meshy bit on the side?
-
I have 2 pairs of these in stock that came as samples.....MRH.....can let them go if anyone is interested?

-
Send them my way Tom!
-
oooo cant wait when some lefty's with pittards come up!!!
-
They aren't FOC I'm afraid mate looking for £27 inc P&P...very comfortable with a pittards style palm and good protection levels whilst remaining very lightweight.
Will be giving my pair a trial tonight along with the silver pads in the T20 (if i get in)!
-
oooo cant wait when some lefty's with pittards come up!!!
Might have to fight you for them!
Tom, I think you definitely need to get some samples made left-handed just to check that your supplier of choice can replicate the quality of the right-handed versions :P
-
fear not mate they are on their way as they sent 3 RH pairs instead of a LH set of samples!
-
Tom could I have a butchers at the trial pads
-
Dave they are on pg 4 on this topic mate or the link below...
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=5019.45
-
pittards style palm
Whats that mean mate?
-
well its not genuine pittards as that comes from Yeovil and requires a label saying thats its authentic pittards leather etc....however the leather used on these is a grade up from the normal calf leather used on the other gloves.
-
Just seen them like the top pads very much not sure about the bottom pair not too keen on the rasped form look on the panals
top pair look top draw mate
-
Tom are the gloves the Indian pittard style gloves bas use and champ sports and robinsons
I find this style is better than pittards just not as long lasting
Just like to say Tom the softs look impressive this year mate top job
-
they will be road tested tonight mate to see how they feel ;) the palms are the indian version of pittards yes as opposed to the proper version from Yeovil
-
you should do a 3 piece sidebar. 2 piece looks odd. bring back that uber cool black/silver logo - looked very slick and remove the smarties!
-
Why have you moved away from split gloves thomas??
-
If I'm right in saying the other two samples haven't been photographed yet
-
Recieved the final batch of glove samples today.....think there maybe overkill of the use of silver, black and green to tie in with our Elite colour scheme so will in all likelyhood scale it back a touch. Feel very nice though with the different "pittards" palm finish on them. Also got them with silver sections and without.....feedback welcomed which will help improve the overall look with any luck :)

-
I much prefer the second set. I don't think I'd change them.
Electric blue would look nice though ;)
-
by 2nd set do you mena the bottom picture pair?
-
I do, the ones without the silver diamonds and coloured sweatband
-
logo need changing to black and silver to tie in with the rest of it an should have been embossed rather than screen printed too. Not sure if having 2 coloured figners is too much though as wanted highlights of colour on them which seems a bit to heavy at the moment!
-
Yeah def think the bottom pair are the best and possibly wouldnt change them!
cant beat an electric blue though, i'm with colesy, but then i've never overly loved green :)
-
If I were to change anything probably take the green out and just have a black index finger on either glove
-
maybe just the first or last two shark tooths coloured???
-
Diagonal line in black across the gloves similar to Kookaburras?
-
Perhaps a black wrist band and black finger with some silver highlights may look a bit smarter!
-
White wristband is fine, keep it one colour though, not a fan of the bands on it
-
Tom you should go for the monocrome look - Use black and silver for the space age feel and only use colour on the bat stickers. That would look awesome imo. And embossed is definitely better than printing the logo on.
-
I like the ones with the silver patches just not the coloured sweatbands but both look ok
-
Yeah not a fan of the coloured sweatband either.......got a few pairs available if anyone fancies a set, 1 LH sample of each model too.
-
I'll have a word with Stevie D, he needs new gloves......Or even Benji
-
Yeah Ben did mention it but after the thrashing we gave him didnt think it was the right time to give him a sales pitch after my 69 ;)
-
Lol at our place or yours? Apparently you weren't to happy with yourselves at your place...........
-
no only scored 54 at yours and 69 at ours....poor old Wayne felt the brunt of it i think!
-
Wayne's rubbish lol
-
How much are they just so I can text Ben about it. I'm doing throwdowns with him later (I think) so could say then too.
-
£35.00 for the Elite Shark tooth ones mate as obviously can save £3 on the P&P :)
-
We have some of the pads and gloves on their way if people want to pre-order them now! Should be here by then end of the month with any luck :)
-
Which ones Tom
-
Got the Elite gloves and both styles of pads coming over

(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/tom_ayrtek/DSC03366.jpg)
Gloves have changed a bit in regards to the final colour scheme, also completed with embossed logos now rather than screen printed version. Awaiting images ofthe pads which ill stick up when they are sent....should have all the kit with me by this time next week if anyone is after a set??
-
Love them!!!
-
Cheers mate...was a bit aprehensive of the first colour scheme as didnt particulary like the black finger on them and thought the white wristband and mesh looked better as sampled on the premier gloves. Will see how these go as may revert the wristband back to black if they get dirty too quickly!
-
Loving them
:)
-
like them alot mate are the gloves with you then or are you waiting for both
-
If people's get dirty they'll buy more ;)
but white is good, they'll get no dirtier than all other white ones so it'll be fine!
-
Good point ;) hopefully they will compliment the Elite bat stickers well with the green. black and silver colour scheme :)
-
have you done away with the sausage fingers????
-
Only the samples we had sent over mate, may re-stock on them as well shortly but the Elite model seem to be the most popular model in all honesty at the moment.
