I think they are very classy, what are your thoughts on them? Has anyone used them?

Bit too classy in my opinion, if my name was Rupert and I drove a vinatge MG and drank Pimms these would be right up my street!!

Ease off Dan - you are describing half my team mates (the other half are saffers) !!!

I really like this kit, personally - not a cheap date though

It does look nice, however I agree with Washington they are too classy and it would take a certain person to pull them off.

Love their bats, but not really a fan of their softs.

I have been partial to the odd pimms in my time but doubt I could get away with these ;)

They look very Bulky when on, which isn't a bad thing. But not my preference.

Pads look fabulous, but I'm less keen on the Gloves. I don't think the brown works as well on them as it does on the pads.

M & H stuff in general is nice, but there's definately some 'paying for the name' syndrome going on. On the other hand, they've spend time building up a good reputation so fair play to them.

I have those pads and I get on pretty well with them, even tho I received some abuse by the oppo for having suede pads lol....

I bought the gloves, pads, bat and bag package a couple of years ago...

Sold the gloves as they felt far too bulky and the bag for being too small!!

Canners what bat did you pick up?

Post by: mattw on January 20, 2011, 10:44:41 AM
yeah I think their pads are the best of what they do, I'm going to weigh my puma pads a bit later on and see how they compare in weight.

didn't fancy the distinction then? Were yours custom or just buy off the rack (so to speak)
Title: Re: M&H Softs
Post by: Canners on January 20, 2011, 11:10:49 AM
Thinking about I prob should have gone for the distinction.... As I prefer a Lowish middle on my bats!! I went for the harlequin as it was described as more of a touch players bat. I would definitely recommend m&h bats... The retro I had was immense and produced some pretty big hits..

In answer to your question it was a off the shelf jobby

No one has mentioned the tan leather kit bag.

Post by: Canners on January 20, 2011, 11:28:19 AM
I had that mate was a rubbish bag was tiny could barely fit all my kit in there....

Sold it on eBay along with the gloves....

I got £90 for the bag :)

Very posh that bag Mike.

I would have that bag for a weeked in the country... admiring it from the veranda with a nice gin and tonic!

Some chap I played against last season had a brown leather dunlop bag, with a small bat pocket for his beaten up GN Scoop. Was as vintage as they come. Probably couldn't get much more than a pair of gloves in there though.

A bit too posh for me

I am starting to wonder if i should have kept it for a weekend bag now, that veranda and g&t sounds a good picture lol

Do u not find them bulky though?

To be fair, the duffle bag at the bottom of the Bags page does look fairly nice... :) The pads and gloves are too classy I have to say, only a certain type of person can pull them off, which seems to be the general consensus. I do have a bat cover, very nice I think.

I only like the Distinction pads. Everything else (apart from the bats) isn't my cup of tea, or glass of Pimms if you like.

They're keeping gloves are snazzy

Sorry for the bump but due to having the Distinction pads I thought it would be best to add my view.

They are very comfortable pads and feel very nice. The stitching started to break on mine so I sent mine back to the shop owner who I got them from to see if he can get any response from M+H, however he sold quite a few of these pads and I am the only person who has had any complaints with them, so I think it was a short term issue with the thread rather than poor quality.

Overall I love my pads, I just hope I can get them back and fixed really soon to be able to use them again.
