Blimey be does waffle on. I liked the mallet test, I think that probably hurt a bit though. Great product though...

Yeh its the balance between thickness of foams and function, I could make them so that the foam is 20mm thick but then it would be closer to a traditional arm guards thickness which from feedback a lot of people wouldn't opt to wear.

They are labelled Hybrid for the reason in that they are predominantly a sweatband but with an element of protection should you get pinned.

Feedback has been great in terms of fine tuning the product and I'm always happy to accommodate special requests in the event someone does want something different (as a few CBF members have).

Sure, no criticism of the product intended, people obviously really like it.

My personal comment would be to make a larger version that covers wrist and forearm, maybe articulated with two or more pieces of the rubber. I have experimented in the nets with wearing the medium sized one plus the large one and this covers me almost up the the elbow. Still comfortable and light weight. Mostly academic for me though as I'm very tall and have never been hit on the elbow (yet)

Thanks Alex, trying to keep up with demand currently which is a nice problem to have. Didnt expect to be scaling up volumes quite as quickly as they have :)

For those members that don’t follow me on social media (and who could blame you!) the Hybrids are now available in navy blue as a stock option over the 3 sizes.

I have both and the Ayrtek is far more comfortable but a little less protection.

Have you got the PRO model of mine @SurreySam or the stock option?

The PRO comes with a plastic outer layer paired with the D3O foam compared to the stock option hence why I'd be interested to know as know you were an early adopter.

Thanks Tom, yes I had some from your first batch. Didn't realise that you had developed the product further.

Something else now to add on the shopping list  :D

Ah cool, useful to know as know you did a product comparison but wasn't sure if this was of the stock model as the PRO model only came about a few months later due to demand from the Glos lads. Some of the Pro's use the stock option but the majority use the PRO model as it offers the rigid plastic outer for the extra layer of protection.
