i have both the d30 original l.e and the original l.e gloves , i prefer the original l.e gloves due to being sausage fingered also not as bulky as the d30 pads i went for the original l.es very light better looking then the d30 and not as exspenive .

Original Limited Edition, love the look of the gloves and pads look nice too! In pads I like last years D30 but this years are crap.

I have 2009 model Original Limited Edition pads and gloves, still thinking if its worth upgrading to 2011 model so I can have a complete matching set!

Edward, have GM changed the sizing of their pads?

In 2008/09 I was around 5ft 8/9 and wore a pair of your mens 909 pads fine. They were perfect for me and I loved them. However, I had a pair of your 2010 LE pads and had to get rid of them as they felt too big. And that was me a 6ft 1.

Has the mens sizing changed or thetop strap moved up.

CD's quite particular with looks, Ed. He doesn't like the Apex either for some reason!

Still using a pair of 2009 original LE gloves as they're so soft and comfy. Really like the armourtan leather palms as they haven't worn much at all so ill be keeping these for a little while yet  :D

LOL Haha Sami thanks :)

Edward to be honest I personally don't like the look of this year D30 last years looked much better in my opinion.

The LE's are perfect, have my eyes set on them!

Original Tehnik and D30 Original last years were lot better than current ones because the present one look much flatten out and it make them look wide

I agree but they are quality too! My friend has last years D30 and they are of impressive quality and mine are great too!

So quality is there.

Hi Liam - no we haven't particularly changed our sizing specs. Are you sure the LE's weren't OSM compared to Mens?

Kind regards

Yep, I agree with you on the catalogue and web illustrations of the d3O pads. However, these were pre-production and for production, additional vertical ribs were used which much improves the look and feel of the pads.

Quite right, outrageous prices.

For the 2011 season, all software costs from India skyrocketed for all brands.
