Junior sized or mens...

Just noticed gray nicolls clearance has the GN Powerbow 500 for sale on EBay priced £ 21.99.

Thanks for the deal and the recommendation. They are definitely lighter than most normal looking pads out there. Looked at some reviews that point out that they are a bit too wide at the top. Might be a different year model. Can you share a picture of yours?

I'm 5' 7' I've found Youth pads for most brands is the best thing to go for. The brand I tend to use for pads is Puma and the Small Mens is just 1cm bigger than the Youth so really better off going for youth if you're 5' 7'. If you're 5' 9' then Small Men's would probably be better as you're knee should be fitting comfortably in the knee support within the pads.

Which puma youth pads do you recommend for being light and compact?

How much do they weigh?

The Industry is a bit shambolic.
We have XSB, SB, B, Y, SM, W(omen), M, LM and between all the different brands the sizes are most certainly not uniform.
B3 mentioned in an earlier post the height he needs as a 5'7" batsman is 38cms between instep & central horizontal bolster.
There's the simple solution, give us LENGTHS IN CENTIMETRES, not B's, Y's, M's etc etc.
Waken up manufacturers, sort it out!

Strap lengths are an issue too tho. Pads straps have to be made to accomodate the Chris Hoys of this world. When I get this skinny youth in with the right length of pad but his straps looking like tomato plants I advise a bit of home alteration, cut & sew the velcro. But i doubt anyone's ever done it :(
