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.

Tom,thanks for all the help/understanding etc on this!!
Will let you know if I go for yours!!   ;) ;)

Looks like the SG package is a non runner......positive Red Herring really,should have known it would be too good to be true!!!
So,as I REALLY want to sort this out tonight......any last thoughts??

SS/Ton Limited Edition:- http://www.vitascricket.co.uk/products.php?id=751

SF Sapphire:-http://www.talentcricket.co.uk/sf_stanford_batting_pads/sf_stanford_sapphire_batting_pads/c196p141.html

SF Platinum:- http://www.talentcricket.co.uk/sf_stanford_batting_pads/sf_stanford_platinum_batting_pads/c196p1571.html

Ayrtek Premier:- http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=21194.0

Have 'negotiated' that all can be had for £50 or less inclusive of delivery.(not necessarily from the linked suppliers...)

So..............please help (based on on performance and looks please!!) :D :D :D 8)

Think you've recieved plenty of suggestions regarding the ayrteks, so plump for them
Sure you wont regret it

Or better still, buy them all

Yes,the Ayrteks are getting the majority of 'votes',not sure whether there might be a little bit of CBF loyalty coming to the fore here(absolutely no offence Tom!!!!) 
I do like them and think that they are definitely a quality pad at a great price.
The flip side is that I reallly like the others as well,particularly the Sapphires.
Just struggling to make the final decision....
Oh well,better head home to find a bullet to bite!!!!   >:( >:( >:( >:(

If you like Sapphires just as much as Ayrteks and think Ayrtek are getting votes because of the forum then go with Sapphires. I haven't used either but on looks only Ayrteks look better to me...

also keep in mind that if you get SF and don't like them you will have a harder time getting rid of them compared to if you got Ayrtek and didn't like those...not that it should influence your decision...

Flip it on its head. You like them all so won't be disappointed.

You will never know what the others will be like so shouldn't have any regrets.

So take the Ayrteks :)

IMO the sapphires look nice the gold makes it look a bit tacky

The SS dont like the shape of them and they dont look quite as good

Ayrtek and Platinum look fairly similar

But for sheer customer service and and recommendations, got to be ayrtek

OK,one final observation....
Is it me,or does the shin bit on th SF Platinums come quite a bit further down than the Ayrteks thus protecting the ankles a bit more??
If so,any thoughts?
Thnx ;)
