I want that top pair. My ideal pads and decent price. If you end up ordering let me know mate and I'll go in with you

Go in with me? i think theyre in india!

theyre a good looking pair of pads but a bit skeptical about why theyre so cheap, and also from buying things from abroad

these are the lorimers ones �38 and then �3 p+p

Online Stockist are sound mate, plenty of people have ordered from them. They're cheap because that's what decent pads should cost before the big guys whack their logo on

I am not sure what the lead time for delivery is, but I would expect 4 weeks as customs may get involved.

lorimers it is then, toenails gave me a rave review about their pads and for the price im happy

You'll probably have to pay 20% Import VAT on these unless you can try and get them sent as a sample with no commercial value, but even still you may get hit!

Look like a copy of the SG pads.

Have you given any thought to our Sponsors? Some great prices on offer from them, quick delivery and they really keep this forum going?

its a case of costing ciaran as im on a very very small budget, but am a bit anal when it comes to matching gloves and pads

Message them, see what they can do. If it wasnt for them we wouldnt be about. Then you wouldnt have anywhere to go when its time for a moan, or to talk about new gear!

What's your budget mate

I've used online before for keeping gloves and batting pads. No problems with customs duty, just be aware that a lot of the mens sizes come up smaller than normal. Which is okay if your a short a...e.

I'm using or was using (injury is worse than first thought

) Bulldog softs, superb value for money and a forum sponsor

morgzy10 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2013, 10:37:18 AM »

pads im looking at around �45, but as i said i like my softs to match otherwise i feel completly village with pieced together kit.
@97notout, injuries mean nothing, i had a complete knee reconstruct 2 years ago (ruptured mcl, ruptured acl, torn pcl, severed patella tendon and fractured head of femur) and also a cartilidge clean out a month ago and still fighting the pain but playing, just now a slip fielder

More like without its everyday members, there wouldn't be a forum.
