Recommended Pads For People with Enormous Calves!
« on: February 11, 2012, 04:55:17 PM »

Having problems getting batting pads to fit around my big chunky legs, any recommendations on pads with longer straps?

Just picked up some Charlie French PPR1's and they are amazing, but the middle strap is to short! Weep! :(

Camerawoman :o

It's Mrs Johnny

Looking for a 'production assistant' to help produce these video pieces soon though - would need to be North West based if anyone's interested - hoping to expand on these features beyond just reviewing S&J stock

Sam has the Vantage stock. Think he only had left-handed in the other model. I honestly don't think you'll notice the ambi-ness of these though. Wrap around your legs really well.

Ill send you a pair of gloves once I get them and you can do a review if you want.

P.S. sorry for derailing your topic, I know kookaburra's pads used to have very long straps but that is going back a couple of years and have not used the newer pads

Cool, thanks, like the look of them!

Finally, anyone know how long the straps are on Newbery pads? Quite like the Tour ones!
