Gray Nicolls Legend no gel and twisted?
« on: May 06, 2015, 05:22:03 PM »
Hi guys,

I just received the delivery for my Gray Nicolls Legend pads, but I noticed they are twisted a little so if I align from bottom the the knee roll twists to left. The cane going up from the center of logo to knee is not in center either. Plus there is no gell in the knee section. I ordered from Barringtonsports.co.uk. Are those fake or rejected from the factory or something? These are expensive pads :O

Not sure barrington sell fakes. So maybe seconds or a one off.

Having said that. Only the gel section would be the issue the pads are twisted by design.
There right handed pads. So the top half has a slight twist to face the bowler once in stance.

I would say they've sent you an old model. I'm sure as well that the twist in the pad has been mentioned before (by design rather than fault).

Just checked gray nicolls website and the front looks the same but the straps are different, maybe they sent me a 2-3 yrs old model? :O

Barringtons are a reputable company can't see them selling fakes but they do look similar to an older model.

If you paid 2015 prices then that is shocking and very deceitful.

I would contact Barringtons and explain that you believe that you have been sent the 2013 model. It could be a genuine mistake also I believe that they have a free returns and no quibble refunds policy.

It's a bit misleading to be honest. Picture shows the latest model. Description is missing the information about the Gel knee padding.

The following has been taken from the Vitas website advertising the product with the same image

"Internal Poly Armour Knee Guard - Thermo plastic knee cup moulded to fit the shape of the knee. Impact Gel - Inserted to the knee cup for comfort. "

compared to Barringtons

"KNEE GUARD
Made from CCT materials, this specially moulded component is inserted inside the leg guards, for total
shielding in this key impact zone. The ergonomic design fits the contours of the knee, and maximises leg movement."

As others have said though they offer a FREE returns service via collect+ so might be worth giving them a chance to rectify the situation as it could be an honest mistake

I've contacted them hopefully they'll send me the replacement but that will waste another week of practice.  >:(

They are saying "you ordered the 2014 version and you got 2014 version" lol. It's not 2014 version and its different from the photos on their website. They said if I wanted to return i could do that and my refund will be issued in about 3-4 weeks time as collect+ takes about 2-3 weeks to deliver back to them LOL.

All of these cricket companies are total CRAP. Its been a month since I started buying my things, first from cricket direct they took 10 days to refund me because they never sent me anything and after a fight they refunded. Then VKS, they delivered but sizes were not right for a couple of things, to get them replaced it took me about 10 days. Now this bullshit.
