Newbery gt335pads. Feedback as requested.

Asad

The pads I purchased from your good self a few weeks back are a pleasure to wear.  Immensely protective, and with the removable 'shin pads' nice and adaptable.  They do need a bit of breaking in so are currently bound up in my bag.  Best of all in my opinion, is that the straps are wonderfully comfortable and are of a perfect length.  Heavier than my GN Nitro pads but the quality between the two is like the difference between a Fiat Panda and a Jaguar XF (no offence meant towards Panda drivers).

I used them in an indoor match a few hours after getting them and was worried they'd be a bit too bulky and stiff which may make running a bit awkward.  But no worries on that score, so can only assume as they wear in they will get better.

Oh, and to top it off, I hit a lovely four that afternoon (2 inches off a 6) at The Croft.  Am going to credit the pads with that one despite the fact I hit the ball with the bat ( a rarity for me, honest!)

If you're basing your own branded pads on these Asad then I don't think you can go wrong.

PS:  you missed a book signing and art exhibition by the inimitable Jack Russell down at Swindon C C yesterday.  What a genuinely lovely man he is.
