my MH T2s still squeak after a half season of use!

My SS Test Openers have mesh instep and I do find it surprising that the likes of GN don't have this on their top pads.

I imagine that they don't use mesh because its not as durable as PU or leather.

Rumour has it, mesh is better lasting

My old mesh pads (GM original) lasted a season before ripping on the instep, whereas my newest leather pads (GM original le) have lasted since the start of last season, and are still going strong with little sign of wear and tear

My mate got some GMs with mesh in 2009 and they are still in mint condition lol, strange hey?

i don't think timing a set off pads over a calendar is very useful.
different batsmen, different styles and different length of time in the middle will all conribute
