[Ayrtek Cricket]

we have 5 pairs in mens RH that have the black logo's as per the images below....


They also have the soft backed straps so that they dont dig into your legs which is always a nice touch...

The ayrtek pads are really nice, I had a pair of the green ones and really liked them. I won new pads on here last year or else I'd still be using them. My brother has them now and he thinks they're good.

As Tom says the padded straps are good, I also liked the sort of split thing with the middle strap that these and a lot of other pads have as it makes them wrap around well. They're also comfy and lighter than others - I certainly preferred them to the GM LE D30 pads that I had previously.

Decisions,decisions.......this forum will be the death of me!!!!   
Really like these overall...however I REALLY like the 'minimalist' look of the SF Sapphire ones...

Can tell you're at work if you're accidently putting Salesforce links up (rubbish CRM by the way)

Try the link again mate

You would be mad not to follow the Ayrtek black pair at that price mate. Top looking pads, made well, and a forum sponsor. What more could you be looking for?

[Simmy]

so you have made tom go into the store room search through stock dig out the pads hes taken photos for you?

and your not even sure you want them?

nothing like wasting some bodys time

Thats a little harsh on someone trying to make up his mind mate, I am sure Tom was happy to do that as he has always maintained highest of customer service standards. When someone asks for pics there is no obligation to buy is there...if there was I would have a house full of Aldred gear as I have pestered Paul many times and it just shows how good the service and the man is as I have never heard him complain once or even take an indirect dig at me (which some others have)

not harsh at all

If you look  on one of my earlier posts on this,you will notice that i did try searching but there was an issue with the search facility at the time.!!!
With regards to wasting Tom's time....firstly,I have not wasted anyone's time until I have decided what I am going to do(at this point I may well still buy them from Tom).
secondly,I have made it clear from the beginning that I am undecided.
Thirdly,at the beginning i made it clear that I had to be mindful of cost,so if,whilst comparing my options,i stumble across what appears to be a cracking deal,I see nothing wrong with looking for opinions on here.
I appreciate that you are being mindful of Tom's valuable time,but equally,there is nothing wrong with me being thorough.....
The reason that Tom ended up going to seek out the pads with black rather red logos was that he sent pics with both,the website had black so I was unsure and requested clarification,which Tom willingly sorted(thanks Tom)
Hope this is all clear and resolves this issue!!!

Thanks for the morale support!!!

Its fair enough to look around at all the options! From a personal stand point I dont think you will find better value than the ayrtek ones.

Hadnt you said you were going to buy by lunchtime anyway?

Had hoped to,but circumstances (and my chronic indecisiveness!!) have conspired to thwart me!!!!
Definitely hope to order before I get to bed,in the vain hope that whatever I go for can be despatched tomorrow and arrive before sunday!!!!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Happy to help, luckily the black logo ones weren't buried too deep so made it easy enough to find.

if you do opt for a pair we can dispatch them if ordered today/tomorrow for delivery on Friday but weekend delivery costs a bomb with any courier and wouldnt rely on royal mail to make a Saturday delivery in all honesty.

i have nets tonight at 8pm and am manic sorting out travel arrangements for various things so drop me an email at tom@ayrtek.com if you do want some.
