I'm on the lookout for some replacement batting pads. I've had my SG Prolites for almost 15 years and the velcro on the straps has gone several times despite repairs, replacements etc. (I've even resorted to stapling the replacement velcro at one point)
Now I know not everyone agrees with the standpoint about weight, but when I got these pads they were night and day different to anything I'd had before, they weigh only 550g each, I don't feel like I lack any protection and they don't look too 'funky'
I've had a look through the pads weight 'database' and of the pads that still seem to be on the market very few come close to my Prolites in terms of weight and those that do are not aesthetically pleasing, I can only begin to imagine the remarks from teammates and opposition if I were to turn up in them, especially given the abuse that one of our guys received when sporting some Aero P1s (they only made one appearance!)
So having worked my way up the weights in the database and hunting around I have found the A2 Verve Whites which claim to be 720g each but look like they might be being replaced by the 'Verve Lite' (it seems no one can spell light). These look like 'proper' pads and I'm not too worried about protection given the level that I play at.
Has anyone seen these, can vouch for their weight/quality? All opinions gratefully received
