Hi John

Seen on twitter and your website that your range of softs should be available soon.

Any chance you could let us know what your intending to release, when and how much?

Cheers

hi mate,

the soft samples are on the way. i have a few which were brought over a couple of weeks ago ( gloves, LE pad and wk gloves) the rest are currently going through customs in the uk at the moment. once ive seen the rest in the flesh then ill be able to supply a bit more info.

i have designed and made the below. all have been designed by me rather than using a stock pad or glove. whilst there are only so many things you can change on a pad or glove i have tried to tweak the odd little thing just to be different. they have been made by a very well respected manufacturer who has been making for some of the top brands for many years. its taken a fair bit of time to get to this stage but the quality of the samples ive got so far means its definately been worth the wait.

LE pads - top of the range in both protection and materials, traditonal style pad but with a few minor changes to set myself appart from the standard stock.

Pyro pads - same style and protection as the LE pads but different materials have been used in places to give an option to the lower budget. these are still fantastic quality and visually there is very little different.

LE gloves - these are a traditional sausage style glove with pittard palms, softbac interior and offer the highest level of protection

Pyro gloves - these are a split style glove, no pittard palm but the best leather palm available. again softbac interior has been used. offering the highest level of protection

WK pads and gloves - again fantastic quality and materials used. soft supple leather for the gloves and excellent protection on the pads.

2 wheelie bags-  one medium and one large. both will accomodate all your kit and have 2 external padded bat pockets. im aware these arent quite to my designs so may need a little tweaking here and there.

hopefully if customs are on the ball and Fedex doesnt mess around they should be here friday. whilst there may be the odd tweak to the bags i hope to be able to give you a decent idea in the next few days/weekend. Hopefully production of the stock will start in the next couple of weeks.
