Title: Review of Cricket in Colour's PadSkins
Post by: ca_gold on April 27, 2010, 03:45:53 AM

So like many of you here - i play both in white and coloured kits and really did not want to spend money on a quality pair of coloured pads, considering i love my BAS 20/20 ones.

I found out about these PadSkins though this forum and messaged Richard right away. we exchanged a bunch of emails and he got me sorted with a pair of black padskins.

Initial thoughts - the material looks and feels like very good quality. the skins fit effortlessly over my pads - after ordering i realized that i had two strap pads and these are made for three straps. i was able to counter that by weaving the straps through the extra hole - it worked like a charm.

I used these in a game on saturday and i didnt even remember i had these on. my main concern was the comfort - i dont really care how these things look - but in the end they dont look that bad actually. With the complete kit - they look kinda cool i think.

Service wise richard was excellent. very open communication - kept me up to date on what was happening with my order and a pleasure to deal with as well. I look forward to placing more orders for my team in the near future.

They look great! Its hard to figure out whether these skins are for two strap or three but they fit perfectly.

Will definitely consider buying them.

They are the 3 strap version but should work fine. Although we are looking at producing a 2 strap version for next season.
ca_gold, fantastic guy to deal with, very patient with Royal Mail and the volcano!

Sounds a shame, I hope you weren't told to stop due to a conflict with clads?
