Depends what you define as "small"

Warsop are very good, but might be a lil' big.
Perhaps, some of the companies sponsoring this forum: Vantage, Ayrtek etc.

I would say we all specialise in certain areas, our prime product is obviously the helmets but we offer pads, gloves and high quality bats to complete the range we offer. where as others like Charlie focus solely on top end bats that are very good....not sure who to classify as a soft good specialist company tho in all honesty even when thinking of brands beyond the 4 Walls of the forum!!!!

I would say that aero focus on personal protective stuff such as the strippers being their key product, pads are very good but not seem much of the gloves being used of a wider scale ???

I would say we are a very small company personally :)

salix discount isnt much because their rrp is so high compared to the shops that its better to go into a store, get the whole gear and haggle - i should point out i read this somewhere and is not from experience.

On here I have used bulldog bats and are very good three of our first team use them and Kieron is great to deal with

Plus have all the ayrtek kit Tom makes and is all top quality will see what the 2010/11 softs are like when they arrive next week(hopefully)but bats are as good as any out there IMO and don't take long to knock in :) plus last years gloves are as good as I have used and are my current match gloves and you can't beat toms customer service speaking as someone who has brought far too much off him lol

Blue Room bats by far the best I have ever used. Rob runs a small company but his reputation within out leagues is almost legendary quality equipment and customer service.

Ayrtek, tom's customer service is top notch. Haven't actually come across a bad small company on here yet mind you!
