thats how all the best evolve though.

remfry made a set up and took them to a test match now every were but in only a specific market
morrants likewise one mans quest brought together by a german company and a indian business man

maybe next your helmets unless you eventualy sell out to a big brand (or become one)

maybe just maybe someone makes a revolutionary pad i suspect the market need one

I'm sure kook used fibreglass as cf would have scared them off in terms off cost price but paired with the design of the modern pads foams we cud knck out pads at minimal weight and maximum protection

No mate cf doesn't shatter unlike Eglass as it would be a mixture if carbon and Kevlar to prevent this

Sounds good to me, I should imagine it would be quite costly...

Tom with Custom Pads, I think you'll be looking at a very very small target market -

People from the forum who are fussy
Very Tall people
Pros

Surely not worth it?

I've got two pairs currently, a pair of Bradburys that I picked up off the ECB site when they were on sale over Xmas for a tenner (down from £30, I got some Bradbury gloves with the same deal), and some some Clipper pads I bought on here off procricket. Both are really well fitting for me, really comfortable as well.
