Thanks mate was just posting that exact link

Right then - a little update on these. as you all know, I am a proper batsman now, so my reviews carry a certain amount of gravitas.

I tried a pair of these out on Friday, during a net. I have to say, I was never bothered by this type of pads, I thought they were a bit poncey and over the top.

My initial reaction is that they are seriously light, and very, very comfortable - I really couldn't have predicted how different they were.

I even tried a couple of something called 'runs' after hitting the ball, and there is no problem with the whole 2 strap thing and the pads slipping. They also take the impact of a ball fine, when you miss it - as Canners ably demonstrated.

As much as I dislike praising Canners for anything, these are very nice, and I kind of 'get' this type of pad now. If you are looking for something light and a bit different, these are well worth a look.

(The Cat would like to make clear he receives no renumeration for these reviews, only snacks)

Brucey i must say you looked even better with those pads on, i thought it was Ravi Bopara without the tan

Top value as well

These look lovely, I was in the same boat as Fattus but, more and more companies are going this way and I guess this style has just grown on me! Looks a top job Canners!

I agree they look great, wish I'd waited and bought some of these but will have to use my GM LE D3O pads now as they didn't sell.

Only thing I would change is the colour of the interior padding just do it doesn't get marked by sweating - not that I usually bat long enough to sweat much of course.

Thanks been netting an awful lot in these and cant believe how protective they are for the weight, i dont think il be going back to traditional pads for a while
