Wilkie is up there for all your custom requirements! I use the GM full length padded covers. Do the job nicely and reckon I'll continue to use bat covers for the foreseeable future, never bothered before.

Apologies, if you don't know about it then you wouldn't know what we're even talking about!

Wilkie is a member on here who designs his own covers for your cricket equipment from a variety of materials. From what I have seen he's made them for sets of gloves, pads, helmets, bat etc.

If you use the search engine on here, type in "Soft Pockets" and there will no doubt be a variety of threads available for you to have a look at. Very reasonably priced as well.

H4L or Affinity full padded bat covers for me or Affinity's neoprene sleeve cover which doesn't cover the handle...

Look at their respective websites... all top quality!

I really like the neoprene sleeve that SAF did.

But there is also this...

I have to admit i will not pay over £10 for a bat cover no matter what.

Call me cheap the bat can sit in the front of the car with me and i will carry it to games and put it back in the car when I'm done.

Proper take bat and ball home stuff!!!

I agree with you 100%. .. Those stretton fox bat sleeves are more expensive than most people would shell out for a bat.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

I'm thinking leopardskin, tiger print or red and white hoops.

Or for you Northern lads a meat pie in a repeating pattern.

Imagine having a bat cover that costs more than your damn bat...the funny thing is I'm sure there's people willing to buy that crap too.

Bat covers in my opinion are a luxury item bat makers toss in for free to make you feel better about shelling out big bucks on their bat. Nothing more.
