Evening all
We've all seen these posts a million times before, so I'll keep this very brief.
I ordered some plain OLS softs for a teammate, so thought I'd share a few pictures and a quick review while they're in my possession.
The gloveshttps://onlinestockist.com/ULTIMATE-All-White-Light-Weight-Cricket-Batting-Gloves-UNBRANDED-P2714386.aspx £22 a pair (reduced to £19.25 with multi-buy discount)
Now with flashes of silver instead of all white, and they look much better for it.
The velcro strap and palms are rather thin, but this means they fit pretty well.
The protection, while not quite up there with true top-end gloves, is very good for the price.
The padshttps://onlinestockist.com/Unbranded-X1-Cricket-Batting-Pads-P2982000.aspx£28 a pair
Completely white and a lot of fabric, so likely to look dirty fairly quickly.
The straps are padded and fairly short, so they shouldn't overhang when fastened (unless you have really thin legs!)
They seem to fit nicely and wrap around your leg fairly well from trying them on quickly.
These aren't light weighing in at 965 grams per pad, but they're 7 canes and the protection appears to be pretty good on initial inspection.
The verdict From placing my order to receipt of my parcel took 19 days, and I had to chase twice.
Ordering from OLS always carries risks, and I was well aware of this when I placed my order.
Had this not been a favour for a mate, would I have ordered these? Probably not
Was the service good? It was slow. The products I ordered did arrive though so it wasn't a bad one either
Would I recommend these softs? If you're in India yes. If you're elsewhere the shipping cost will negate any sayings you've made. I'd say you're better off ordering from someone in the same country as you are. On here we're spoiled for choice with any of the forum sponsors providing a better option.
