Have you had a chance to weigh them yet mate
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Richard on September 09, 2010, 11:21:30 AM
I'm sure ive said before, looks quality gear. Green gloves have an Itias look about them to me.
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 11:23:03 AM
yes mate iv emailed you the weights of them.....989g per pad, with the knee locator, canes and instep padding etc they arent going to be the lightest pads on the market....just to give a comparism our modern pads are 704g each :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 11:24:11 AM
All seems very high quality to me as we had the samples first of all to wear test/evaluate and amend before narrowing down our final design. Im sure Tom will be very flattered to have you compare his kit to ours ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Howzat on September 09, 2010, 12:02:03 PM
Still selling modern pads then? They are quality
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 12:04:27 PM
Oh yes mate still doing them but people asked about a traditional range of pad as well which I focused on sorting out as the modern pads are tried and tested as such and still provide solid lightweight protection :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Howzat on September 09, 2010, 12:06:13 PM
Yeah they are really good pads, current party trick is for people at my club to smash me in the legs with their bat to test the protection... cant feel a thing
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 12:08:43 PM
haha yeh always the doubters out there....Benning was testing them at 90mph with the bowling machine without flinching so would hope they stood upto someone wafting the willow at them!

I need to get people trying out the ACIS gloves with the release valve in them with the bat mallet and feeling the difference between having it inflated and deflated next to show them the effectiveness of the technology! ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Howzat on September 09, 2010, 12:18:56 PM
Love my ACIS gloves, only need a release valve for one people keep pressing the button when you nip off to get something!
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 12:21:07 PM
yeh a common problem as everyone likes to tamper with the bulb/valve on the helmets let alone the gloves!!
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Walkeruk on September 09, 2010, 12:38:26 PM
Loving the softs. Should sell like hot cakes. If i had the money id have some. Roll on Christmas.  :D
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 12:49:17 PM
Get them on your Xmas list then and see what santa brings you!
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Walkeruk on September 09, 2010, 01:00:09 PM
There on. Would be nice to have a unique set of softs. As far as I'm aware no one in our league has Ayrtek equipment. Never seen any anyway. Only came across you when ProWannabe told us about the forum.

What are the ACIS gloves?
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 07:56:39 PM
my first venture into the cricket market....it was my dissertation at uni
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Johnny on September 09, 2010, 07:58:17 PM
no longer in production?
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 08:00:49 PM
we licensed the design to canterbury which they pitched at the top end of the market at £70 for a pair of gloves....as a new brand in the sport it didnt seem the best thing to do!!

we have the capacity to make them and they are proven to keep you hand safer from impact that other gloves but we havent pushed production as yet with all the other kit at the moment.
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:32:53 PM
Tom, how exaactky des the realease valve work on both the gloves and helmets? I presume the pads are relatively traditional compared to the others :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 08:34:03 PM
when the release valve is pressed it lets out the air that has been pumped into the air tight bladders.....which then return to their flacid state ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:35:26 PM
So what is the benefits of the valve then on the gloves specifically, surely the valve would pop when the ball hit is if it is full and then pop ???
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 08:39:23 PM
no mate we took the valve off the gloves as it was too bulky according to mr benning....the system comprises on a series of interconnected cells which wont pop like a balloon as such as when u press on one area the air is relocated to another but also acts as a cushioning system to absorb the impact.

the gloves proved to be 200% safer than the PUMA and GM we put through testing back then whilst the helmet proved 300% safer than the helmets we tested with the BSI.

in all honesty i am impressed :)

Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:43:25 PM
yes indeed, but in all honesty I have found him a pleasure to negotiate with :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 08:44:00 PM
yeh i need to tell anyone and everyone thats willing to listen as most people dont care less :(
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:45:20 PM
well I would get the kit out on the county circuit, and London Schools circuit, and West Midlands league circuit, but it comes in at too much of a price for me regrettably :(
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: petehosk on September 09, 2010, 08:46:23 PM
Don't ask Tom any questions about the technology when having a pint!
Three hours later you'll still be waiting to get a word in!  ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:47:35 PM
a pint, at 14 im not meant to, but hey :), and i think its good for the game if we hav enthusiatic english batmakers and technological advancers :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: petehosk on September 09, 2010, 08:51:09 PM
This is a great forum to be on!
You have such a wide range of batmakers, helmet providers, willow producers and experts in the cricket industry!
Oh yeh, and don't forget one or two fanatical bat collectors!  ;)
So a good variety of knowledge and interests on here!  8)

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 08:52:05 PM
Speaking of pints Mr Hosk it must be your round next time....you lot were too busy ogling Talismans wood last time to speak about my helmet!!! :( lol

Technological advancements help to keep the game moving forward and the other brands on their toes! rather than comfortable churning out the same product year upon year without any competition ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:53:53 PM
Mr Hosk, its been a pleasure reading your thread, and yes, my mundane after school life has been brightened by the reading of cricket related, sometimes loosely related, subjects. Whilst I may appear to be only after sponsorship, I do bloody enjoy the game, and having been to 2 of the Pakistan test matches, and seeing the game int he state that it is now, I think that it's forums like these which keeps the grass roots level spirit and the enjoyable side back to cricket, even when darker things may be occuring in the international game,

Emotional outburst over

Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:54:29 PM
For publicity for your brand, I refer you to my earlier post ;)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: roco on September 09, 2010, 08:54:55 PM
i cant say too much apart from my match bat i have all the ayrtek kit tom makes lol
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: petehosk on September 09, 2010, 08:58:17 PM
Tom - my round next time fella!  :D

And talking of my inventory topic, I had better continue with it as I still have another 60 bats to get through!  :(
It's a real labour of love but I have to see it through!
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 08:59:34 PM
if not for yourself then for me :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 09:00:04 PM

Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: roco on September 09, 2010, 09:02:52 PM
yes the ayrtek is the spare but goes well and knocked a nice 43 in the county t20 final with 4 huge 6's
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: petehosk on September 09, 2010, 09:03:18 PM
I think I remember where your Ayrtek bats come from Tom.
And I know that it would be tough to find much better quality bat and maker!!

And I will carry on with topic - and glad that people enjoy it!  :D
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 09:03:46 PM
Tom, who makes your bats, as if we can negotiate a good price, I am sure we can come to a deal, with reviews of your kit so high, I would be honoured to use it, especially if it was in conjuction with Brand Ayrtek
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 09, 2010, 09:04:05 PM
well I would get the kit out on the county circuit, and London Schools circuit, and West Midlands league circuit, but it comes in at too much of a price for me regrettably :(

Sorry mate just found ur post.....well I can cut the price down but its the bats that are obviously costing the most out of the quote, plus you never mentioned the fact you were a promising county player which was why we looked expensive to other quotes who had offered you a discount when ours hadnt. If you want to drop me a line with your club/county details etc then I can have another look at our quote.....not saying were going to come in at a stupidly silly price but ill see what i can offer :)
Title: Re: New Soft Goods Pictures
Post by: thebd11 on September 09, 2010, 09:06:13 PM
Hi Tom,

What information would you like?

I am the joint top wicket taker in the country in the county competition, and am recognised by other players on the circuit now, so will help to generate publicity.

I also do debating at a sixth form national Oxford University Competition Level and am in the top 100 National U16 Speakers, so I am sure that I could promote Ayrtek through that channel as well.

Thanks,

Chris

Used these tonight gloves are as good as I've used pads are great as well second only to my old obo p1's both are bulky to the eye due to the seriously high level of padding but you cannot feel it when there on due to the fantastic feel and fit another great product Tom many thanks for sorting
