Cool well you know the mail address as will sort out when your happy with everything

[Colesy]

Ohhh, something Ayrtek related I could add to my collection?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

No probs mate...will have a look at everything upon delivery and can go from there! Got 25 bat cases coming tho as they are useful IMO when forking out on a bat to keep in dent and studmark free!!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Sneek peek of the traditional pads...not the final version as the straps still need tweaking as well as logos etc upon them....

[iand123]

Are these two separate models? If so which one is the higher model?

[SillyShilly]

Looking very good Tom, top ones would be my choice!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

yeh they are meant to be the test version, may make some changes still as this is only the first run of samples as were looking to get the kit in for Auguest/September time...be good to get some feedback to see what people think as it all helps with progress

[Buzz]

I really like the top ones too... a nice combo of the SS ones and the Bas Vampire pads, both of which I also really like. Is there any way you can make the piping around the bottom of the pad, where it rubs on the shoe, extra resiliant? my pads always get knackered their in no time and it is pretty irritating!

[iand123]

I prefer the front of the top pads, but the back of the bottom ones! I guess its all about the front though

[seedy]

Sorry tom, not a fan of either the design is pretty generic, i would have thought you would want something a little more innovative?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

yes seedy these are the traditional pads that people have asked us to look at as not everyone wants to go for the modern looking pads. Trying to cover both the innovative and traditional sides of the market to maximise market appeal!

[SillyShilly]

I dont think the colours are quite right yet - i think the silver knee protector on the top pair of pads could do with being a different colour, either that or change the top hat background colour to silver as well as the shin bolster?
I know these are just samples so no point being over critical, they just look like they need a little bit of tweaking.......however, these things often look better in the flesh! Are you happy with them Tom?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

havent received them yet mate to look at properly as only have the pics...need to dig out the spec sheets i sent and see if they match up design wise. Will do that once all the stuff is recieved and then can look at alterations as see what matches up to the spec's provided

think they look good in terms of providing a traditional looking pads to meet the criteria, hard to be ground breaking with every product lol

[iand123]

One assumes that you guys send a design off to the factory (which i again assume is in India) they then make a few prototypes and you go back and forth until your happy. They are then "mass" produced?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

indeed mate, unless you take the trip out there to oversee production of said samples and make the alterations there and then.
