Cricket season over and another waste of time bragging rights competition. Here's my effort on the pad front, some Puma Extreme 4000, obviously to big for my stubby legs:-

However, they weigh in at 495grams each:-

Can anyone beat this?
-
I'll give it a go. Will be back with the results later this evening ;)
-
Great minds think alike - I was going to make one about gloves. When I get back to my halls I will weigh mine up
-
Damn my old obo pads would've won hands down poo cakes
-
My Ayrtek Elites have got to be up there!
-
and make sure you strap the buckles up please, no cheating trying to get the weight down!
We have 28 weeks until the start of next season, plenty of time to go through gloves, helmets, thigh pads (I will weigh my morrant dalek ones for that!). I'm thinking of getting small new youth pads for my midget legs, so it will give me some good pointers!
-
I have an Ayrtek elite lid. Winner winner! (Along with the others who have Ayrtek helmets)
-
Don't jump the gun Colesy, it's pads this week. Give it your best shot!
-
Ok ok as soon as I go to my mum's in an hour or so my pads will be weighed!
-
My newbery camos are about 1kg each! Lol
-
I suppose my Solitaire pads are a bit heavy at 1097g.....must ask for super light pads next time off roger
-
Que Solitaire weight jokes :P
-
arent the morrant ones super light?
-
Just weighed mine, got an average of 864g :(
-
My GM Teknik Original Lites are around 800 grams each.
-
our Ayrtek modern pads are 704g each i think from memory, dont have them here to weigh now tho at the flat.....new traiditonal 2010/11 ones were heavier as i sent Roco the weights the other week...which i cant remember now! :( damn old age lol
-
989g mate from the mail
-
Morrant Ultralite: 327g
-
what did i say the other modern pads were mate as god knows when i sent u the emai?? is that a confirmed weight colsey?? thats pretty impressive :D
-
704g cmon it's your company lol
-
Did a bit of surfing on the interweb and that came up 3 times so I took that as the answer. When my Ayrteks go then I may have to join Gareth with these.
-
id be interested to see what they come out at if someone who owns a pair weighs them as these weights tend to be a little exageratted at times ;) im sure they are the lightest about tho!
roco.....@ 704g i got it right then happy with that lol.
-
Does anyone actually own morrant supalites? Otherwise I'm still claiming the lightest :-)
Anything from the other brands that comes close? Aswani Zero G must be close.
-
I can't remember who but I do believe someone on here does have Morrant Ultralites
-
a few people have the morrants on here, watsontotty being one
-
Bloody hell the Ayrtek Modern pads are heavy compared to those Pumas, always thought ayrtek ones were light!
-
The puma are a moulded pad and therefore don't have any PU on them which will make them alot lighter, lots of Indian brands will offer a one piece moulded pad such as these
-
I have a pair of the Morrant International pads which are super light although ive not got anything decent to weigh them on !
-
Would love everyone to weigh a pair of pads, pair of gloves, thigh guards, helmet and box to see whose is lightest!
-
with my combo of Puma Pads, Ayrtek helmet, morrant dalek thigh guard and gn gloves I'm onto a winner...
-
Everything about you just screams speed mate

if ur not careful you might float away ......... ;)
-
Everything about you just screams speed mate
But not your bowling as we've all seen that ;)
Yeah thats pretty light gear!
Anyone have newbery pads, kook rp gloves, albion 98 helmet, and heavy thiugh guard!
Should add spikes to this too!
-
Spiked up Nike Air Forces 1s. They should be heavy enough.
-
When you are several stone overweight you need every advantage you can get!
Helmet 705g
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_blLLx3gm1k0/TKpAjO6rYJI/AAAAAAAABtg/TvZMr4RMsNc/s640/2010-10-04%2021.58.45.jpgpg)
Gloves a surprising 313g
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_blLLx3gm1k0/TKo9YHrthbI/AAAAAAAABtQ/38yb0-_h8q8/s640/2010-10-04%2021.45.37.jpg)
Thigh Guards including Box and undershorts 298g
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_blLLx3gm1k0/TKo97r4zHmI/AAAAAAAABtc/tpQCbDDe7SE/s640/2010-10-04%2021.46.20.jpg)
Gives me a total of 495*2+705g+298g+313g = 2306g
-
Not bad at all mate, that could be a winner!
-
I'd very surprised with all the serious cricketers on this forum if it was the lightest combo.
-
I have a little bit of carbon fibre in my gloves so I hope that makes a difference lol.
-
I couldn't possibly win - my box weighs around 10kg ...
-
My itias pads are 945g per pad.
-
gonna give all my kit a weigh tomorrow, fancying my gt pads to be mega heavy even though they are youths! doesnt bother me though as dont notice it!
-
morrant ultralights
-
brought some new pads for my stubby legs, but they are puma kenetic 4000 youth and weigh in at 600g :-(
-
morrant ultralights
there a pad coming out very soon lighter and more traditional than morrants but there gonna cost a tad more too
-
Chase?
-
unable to say mate i let you know when they come out
-
would love to see those, can you say when theyre coming out?
-
My P2 medium ambidextrous legs (good for up to 130 kph and ultrafast to run in) - 320g each.
-
I have a pair of morrants ultra lights
they are exactly as they say on the can
great pads are prone to get a bit dirty which I don't care about too much but don't use them when it is wet and muddy
-
what weight are they though?
-
current. leaderboard per pad
1. aero p2 - 320g
2. morrant int. - 327g
3. aswani zero g - 450g
4. puma extreme 4000 - 495g
anyone tried the CA pads on sportshq, they look very light.
-
I used to have Aero P2's don;t think there will be lighter pads than Aero! Got some Ballistic 6000's i will weigh in just out of curiosity
-
yeh if they are a one piece moulded pad without using any PU they would be close as well i would imagine
-
info on the new pads there weight is reported at 280g we shall see
-
interested to see what they are as must be a one piece mould with very little padding on the rear by the sounds of it
-
all i have been told is a few county players will be using them and 1 Sri Lankan left hander not ks...
i have no further details till i see them myself all i can say there traditional in design but not materials
-
Dave are you sure the person feeding you this info isn't pulling your leg ?
-
Sounds more like shin pad weights than full size pads to me....will have to wait and see
-
tom all i know is the materials used are new you know me i have been serching long and hard for this
-
Yeh I have no doubt mate as with u I'm intrigued to see them
-
sounds interesting, when are we expecting an unveiling?
-
before christmas i am told
-
Dave are you sure the person feeding you this info isn't pulling your leg ?
no i know a pair was made up for a sri lankan player last season but i know they are being made up and the cost will be around 130-140...
-
I was asked to get 8000 clefts for someone once, then he told me he was making bats for England players, those were easy spots but he is full of it, I hope it is not the same person telling you about the pads. Did you get my email with a link Dave?
-
Do sehwag and tendulkar use the same pads?are they the morrant ones?

email???
-

Tendulkar uses Morrant, and uses his current pads for 10+ years. Sehwag uses SG Tests in Test matches and Morrants in ODIs

cheers mike that DF Magnum bagged cheers bud

Just to add to the mix, the P2 legs I weighed above are an adult product. We are launching a new P3 leg this year - picture below:
(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb149/Philip_Aero/newp3leg.jpg)
These new P3 legs weigh in as follows:
XXS (for those beginning with the hard ball) - 275g
XS (10-12 year olds) - 300g
S (12-15 - depending on height) - 320g
P2 M (adult) - 320g
-
Philip could you put the weights of all of your pads up please, if that's not a problem.
-
Your wish is my command.
Weights of the batting legs are as follows:
- P3 XX-Small (for those beginning with the hard ball) - 275g
- P3 X-Small (10-12 year olds) - 300g
- P3 Small (12-15 - depending on height) - 320g
- P2 Medium (youth/adult) - 320g
- P1 Small (12-15 - depending on height) - 370g
- P1 Medium (youth/adult) - 520g
- P1 Large (6'+ adult) - 550g
Please note that because of the different shaped front and back legs on the P1, the weights for each leg are different. In order to enable comparison on this forum I have averaged the front and back leg weights. Those of you that may have seen postings by me on P1 weights in the past will note that the P1 has gone up in weight. This is because we have put slightly heavier ultra-low rebound foam into the front leg of the white P1 meaning that they are probably the lowest rebounding pad (foam or traditional) on the market. Coloured P1s are lighter and have a higher rebound based on the feedback we had from people that in limited over cricket they wanted the ball to rebound as far away from them as possible to maximise leg byes.
Weights of the P1 KPR keeping legs are:
- Medium - 235g
- Small - 225g
-
So the coloured pads ping? ;)
could do with a pair of them! My bat never gets to hit the ball :P
-
minimal bouncebackability :D
interesting to see that you have integrated mock canes and knee roll into the new pads Philip....was this soemthing you had feedback on from customers? umpires giving LBW as they couldnt judge the height the ball struck without the knee roll etc?
-
Nothing to do with umpires - wouldn't want to help them. :D I guess I shouldn't say that - my father was a 1st class umpire.
But a more traditional look was definitely something that people were looking for - hence we've reworked the P3.
-
yeh its about getting the balance between modern and traditional from the feedback we had on our pads when with CCC, same thing with the lids you'll never keep 100% of the market happy with one single product...would be bloody good if you could though :D
-
Thanks Philip
-
Lightest gloves week!
(Each, not as a pair)
SS Hitech Pro - 166g
Ayrtek Club 2009 - 189g
Canterbury - 228g
-
Which glove do you weigh? The one with a padded thumb or the other one?
-
Ahh good question...... Luckily the 3 I picked up were all with the thumb padding. Phew.
-
My SS Hitech Pro are 189g colesy
-
Hmmmm did you get yours from Online Stockist?
-
Yeah I got them in the peplow order
-
That's weird cos I've reweighed mine in different positions and everytime it's 166g
-
Needless to say I went for the blue ones..........
(http://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/0/3/1/9/1/webimg/2530384.jpg)
-
my gn nitro gloves were 313g for a pair = 157g each. Think its on page three of this thread.
-
Gotta be the glove with thumb padding surely otherwise I'd have to reweigh mine and take an average lol.
-
I'll dig it out in abit and reweigh
-
joe/johnny.....not every pair will weigh the same as some may have more material in than others, thicker plastic etc depending on what production run they were produced in!
-
175g
-
YES! ;)
-
I know this is an old thread, but I was weighing pads tonight, so I thought I'd add them to the wealth of information in here.
Mongoose 2-strap pads - 598g per pad:
(http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr293/tim2000s/P10401181.jpg)
Hunts County Triumph 683g per pad:
(http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr293/tim2000s/P10401171.jpg)
-
Will get mine out tomorrow at some point
-
My Gray Nicolls Evo 1000 pads weigh 686g each and my slazenger gloves weigh 168g
-
So what were the pads procricket was talking about at 280g ???
-
Funnily enough they never materialised.
-
My scales broke :(
-
Funnily enough they never materialised.
Yeah funny that hey
-
My Gray Nicolls Evo 1000 pads weigh 686g each and my slazenger gloves weigh 168g
Would you mind posting pics of them mate? Quite interested in buying a pair of the pads on sportsdirect
-
those new aero ones must be up there
-
Which are the lightest traditional style pads?
-
just weighed my aero p2's
311g :D
-
P2's aren't that traditional lol but bloody light mind!!
-
P2's are as traditional as you'll get! The great WG Grace wore them ;)
-
P3's maybe??
(http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/27/2741/J1RND00Z/posters/w-g-grace-ready-to-receive-the-ball.jpg)
-
the very same!
-
That's odd. This taken from the Aero website "Our first products arrived on the market in 2004 with the introduction of the ground breaking leg , chest and lower body protectors ("Strippers")."
I would guess they're not "the very same" then.

-
I think the similarity to the p3's is the size ( slim long length pads ) and the traditional knee rolls obvs not the design concept of the P1 or P2's. I doubt Mr Grace's pads were that lightweight....

How much do morrants weigh?
-
My scales are broken so can't weigh mine :(
-
They have to be the lightest.
-
I have the large mens version so would be ever so slightly heavier ;)
-
290g According to middlepeg
http://www.middlepeg.com/ultralitecricketpads.htm
Apologies that's the keeping pads On the scales in the picture is says 327 lol
-
290g According to middlepeg
[url]http://www.middlepeg.com/ultralitecricketpads.htm[/url]
From memory, that Ultralite weight is just the shell of the pad and does not include the comfort liner (but I'm not 100% sure of that).
WG Grace was Aero's first sponsored player. ;)

Will you be releasing a centenary players version with buckles???

First test in 1880 could do a 135 edition?
-
Just weighed my GN Nitro Players pads, they are 663g each.
When i got them i thought they were the lightest pads ever, so seeing how much other pairs are i'm rather disappointed! :(
Salix Pod Black Gloves weigh in at 171g each. Man i love those gloves. :)
-
I have some old Bouncer Sports pads that weighed in around 400 each, best pads i ever owned but beginning to fall apart now.
-
Tell you what, I might be a major contender for lightest overall kit - my aero P1 gloves weigh but 129 grams. So my pads & gloves combo is only 440g.
And yet I still get ran out 73.23% of the time...

Fitness training it is then.... If your profile pic matches your athletic ability ;)

Lol! I'm glad to say I bear no resemblance to the Hypnotoad. I think it's the fact that Aero's clever marketing ploys which makes me think that I run faster, and so I go for runs that are clearly not there but I think they are because I have aero gear on, and so am indestructible to be run out. Better get some mahusive heavyweight cane pads to make me only run when it's extremely easy :-[

Just weighed my BAS bow 20/20 pads.525 gms.These are a nightmare to clean. How do you clean these type of pads and how do I stop them from squeaking ?. Any help is appreciated.

Leaderboard recap:-

3. aswani zero g - 450g
4. puma extreme 4000 - 495g
5. BAS Bow 20/20 - 525g
-
Pretty horrified to be honest. My large mens Morrant International Ultralight pads come in at 525g. Mind you the scales I used are older than I am.
-
be nice to update the leaderboard, I'm not sure you can buy the puma's any more!

Fancy looking scales...
-
A calculator with 525 typed in ;)
-
the h4l pads are heavyyyyyyyyyy!!!
-
My new ss ones feel light even though they are osm
-
This might sound a bit daft but does anyone have any pictures of the morrant ultralites? I'm quite tempted by these as they seem to get rave reviews but just want to see what they look like properly, pics on websites just never look as good as the ones people take of their own kit.
Been looking round at pads for ages and although I like the look of lots of pads including kook recoil and GM original LE I do like the sound of the morrants as they're so light.
Cheers
-
Only picture I have of mine. Can sort more out tomorrow if you want.
(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab312/JoeColes/100_1992.jpg)
-
I've seen a lot of people wearing them, they seem reasonably protective and are very light obviously. Pretty good buy if you ask me :)
Joe, which Puma gloves are those (Kinetic 5000 at a guess..)..? ???
And how does that Boom Boom perform - where did you get it?! :)
-
Puma Kinetic 5000 a little too small for me unfortunately, so passing them on to a team mate.
Disappointed with the bat to be honest, would much rather have my Ayrtek in working condition. Got it in Globe Sports in Bristol.
-
Its never to late Joseph ;)
-
I think it is. For me to use it in a match it would have a more tape to bat ratio :P
-
haha hopes and prayers holding it together bit like my series 1 :( RIP
-
Joe does your bat have black electrical tape on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
-
Could cut 4/5 inches off the toe ;)
Ross, when the picture was taken, yes. that was to keep it tight whilst glue was in there, it has been removed now ;)
-
Seeing that bat bring back visions of my fourth team days seeing huge asian guys with entire bats wrapped in black tape smashing the ball to all parts lol
-
Thanks colesy, the morrants look quite curved from the knee roll so I might try to find somewhere local that stocks them to try them on. They don't look too odd at least, not like some of the stormtrooper-esque pads or the aero's.
Cheers
-
They are fairly 'wrap around' in the design, so there is less need to wear them in I guess.
-
I couldn't resist any longer, just ordered some of the morrants international ultralites. If you use code AOC2011 you get free delivery so just under £80 in total. Looking forward to them arriving and I hope they're as good as everyone says.
I've now bought a redback paradox, new gloves, new pads and other stuff since joining the forum 6 months ago and also emailed Kieron yesterday to buy a bulldog basher - I'd love an Ayrtek helmet too but might need to wait a bit to let my wallet recover.
-
Just took some photos, and doing the whole upload process on my phone so let me know if it doesn't work.

-
Thanks the pics you've posted work fine, you can certainly see why they're so light. Not had a despatch email yet but hopefully they'll be sent soon. When they get here I might need to stick them on and try to run in them in our garden. Neighbours will think I'm mad and my dog will probably go mental but it's got to be done.
-
Has anyone over here used AS V10 batting pads? They look quite nice for the price.
-
Weighed the 909 D3O pads that I got cheap from Sports Direct in the sale. They are not light pads and tip the scales at 909g (okay 900, but I thought it was a nice bit of alliteration). This is 50% heavier than my Hunts County Triumph bads, but being hit by the ball at 70mph, they definitely offer more protection, and are lighter than the straight 909s.
-
D3o material makes any stuff heavy; there are videos of Ski hats made of D3o which offer great protection but are a bit more heavy. Those pads look very nice by the way. :D
-

Wore them etc they are good decent pads for the price
-
etc? what else did you do with them?
-
D3o material makes any stuff heavy; there are videos of Ski hats made of D3o which offer great protection but are a bit more heavy. Those pads look very nice by the way. :D
Except that on the GM site, the 909 normal pads are quoted at about 1.85kg for the pair, versus 1.66kg for the d3o equivalent in the same range ???
-
I have some BDM foam pads that weigh in at 1lb, 7.3 oz. Dunno what it is in grams
(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/DSCN3573.jpg)
-
You could have pressed the g/oz button to find out... ???
-
google says 784 grams - seems high to me, I'm assuming that's 1 pad?
-
Re weighed one. 658 grams with padded insert, 483 grms without.

tempted to remove the puma's as I don't think you can buy them anymore. Do I put the BDM at 483g, would you wear them without the insert?
-
Aren't the morrants like these? http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=gray+nicolls+evo+750i+pads&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&biw=1701&bih=873&tbm=isch&tbnid=gEzC6PbvnycqbM:&imgrefurl=http://au.shopping.com/Gray-Nicolls-Gray-Nicolls-Evo-750I-Junior-Cricket-Batting-Pads/info&docid=N_E1BiR8mGa_7M&imgurl=http://di1-2.shoppingshadow.com/images/pi/90/f9/2d/103370102-260x260-0-0_Gray%252BNicolls%252BGray%252BNicolls%252BEvo%252B750I%252BJunior%252BCricket%252B.jpg&w=260&h=260&ei=C6cWT9-GB4aZiQes1cTtAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=199&vpy=160&dur=7818&hovh=208&hovw=208&tx=112&ty=98&sig=100272979138554959294&page=1&tbnh=170&tbnw=165&start=0&ndsp=37&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0

There is no way that the Morrants weigh 397 grams.
They weigh in at 520 grams. The only way you can get them lighter than that is to remove all inserts, thus making them unwearable.
GM RSBs weigh in at 523 grams.

I went by this photo for the morrants the scales read 327 ?
-
I have the large mens ones which read 500grams, wouldn't have thought a size down would take that much off..

Looking at the light shining through the pads, is the inside pad attached?
-
It won't be, as the inner thing is quite weighty because of what it's made of. And no way would you wear them without the lining.
-
Am I right in thinking when they were about in trhe 80's they had no inner padding ?
-
Can someone weigh the chase r11 pads? I would love to get a pair but want to compare them with my GN pads.
-
They will weigh a fair bit, 700+. I personally never notice the weight of pads no matter what I wear, it doesn't bother me. Batting in Aero P2's or Kookaburra Cane pads I still play the same.

I am sceptical about the Aswani zero g pads being 450 too.
They are the EXACT same pads as the Morrant's Super Ultralite moulded pads:

As the pictures prove, they are identical pads with different decals.
I own the Morrant variety and they weigh in at around 600grams.
How can the Aswani ones be 150 grams lighter?

Just want to add to this
1. aero p2 - 320g
2. aswani zero g - 450g

No way the Aswani Zeros weighing 450grams.
It would 600grams.
-

I'm pretty sure the Puma Pulses won't be featuring high up in this list of very light pads as they are around 680g per pad. Having said that, I'd happily kick a Steven Finn 93mph ball away with them as I'm certain you wouldn't feel it. Might need a towel stuffed down the back of the Morrant Int. Ultralites for the same effect!
Having said that, they feel significantly lighter than the GM 909 D3O pads I have, which are 50% heavier.

Yes, I am aware this is an old thread...
Any changes here?
The new Gray Nics Maverick and Powerbow pads look seriously light for a traditionally styled pad.
Would be nice to have a comparison of some of the boutique pad's weights on here if trying to make a decision.
-
I am due to new pads, so far I feel like Morrant makes the best one with snug fit..but I am open to suggestions. Also, any website that sells morrant for less than $200?
Thanks in advance!

I have the gray nics mavrick f1 elites. And the gm rsbs. The rsbs are lighter.
Dont know exact numbers but will weigh tomoz if I remember.

Would be interesting to know the weight of these seeing as here near as much a copy of the aswani zero g (which is probably a copy of something else)

This puma looks like the Indian version of Morrant pad, which I current have but they are little stiff and bulky.
-
I want light pads put nobody seems to mention THIN pads! This seems more important to me, nobody's not strong enough to run with 0.6kg on each shin, though lighter is nicer, for feeling, I think having less volume is more important.
The aero ones look perfect but I've never spotten anywhere actually selling them!

Try Sports Direct, they have some paper thin Slazenger ones in almost every store, they're really cheap and there's no way they'll weigh much either.
Protection wasn't a consideration, was it? ;)

You joke but that might actually be worth trying, I don't face 80mph bowling so it's never going to hurt THAT much is it? Or is it?
