I've had a pair of the old leather type ones I got in a bundle 8-9 years ago and they were lovely. (£350 for top grade solution, pads, gloves and a leather bag!!!) Think those are the ones they rejigged and turned into the type 1's a few years ago. But I have seen blank bats doing precisely the same pads for a lot less money!! So I'd go for those if they can still get them. These are the ones with the fielding pads inside them yes? I really liked the design and they were really comfortable. Straps were a bit long that's the only fault I can remember but that depends how big/tall you are.
