I will have a look later. I would suggest they have only had about 6 games and 4 nets though, so still nearly new!

That's fine mate, I just want to compare them to my bats which fell apart after 1 innings

My legends are falling apart at the seams as well after a month use I love the pads but some of the stitching is quite poor and the minor touches are not what you would expect from a 90 pound pad.

Overall I'm starting to think robinsons are one of the better vendors of sorts out there

Really surprised that the Morrant pads dont provide adequate protection . Would you not be able to tear up some old thigh pads and add that to left the left pad like Tendulkar does ?

I could do but I still think I prefer the more traditional looking pad, plus I'd need to buy a thigh pad, cut it etc and just seems more hassle than picking some GMs or SS

Mine are still going strong after 18 months of heavy use. I'm going to stockpile a couple of sets in case they ever discontinue the range.

agree a quality pad but after 6 innings (3 big innings i guess) :D

After buying and using quite a number of pads in the last 5 years i agree there a quality pad bar these issue which i find a little bit poor to be honest.....

ps there kept in the original bag and i have owned 2011 legends..




I understand wear and tear yes the pu is quit flimsy on these as well a great pad but i think there a tad falling apart

Also have a look behind your knee bolster if the vertical bolster goes above the bottom segment of the knee roll that is a sure fire way to tell a quality pad as that area is the most vulnerable

What makes these legends such a great pad? Lightness, materials, comfort?

Protection over weight mate and the materials used are great mate the inner sections are like silk
I had to fight my Inital thoughts to use these but I have got used to them and yes comfort is second to non for me
As a padman I feel the top bat is still slightly wonky there certainly not the best looking pads

Bulldogs again for me. Ask Kieron whether he has some of the 2012 spirit softs that were stupid cheap when I bought them
