I'm not a fan of the pads pictured in the Cricket Supplies forum link. However the pads on the fcssport site I don't mind too much.

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Rik, I havent got them, but will probably get some in feb. I've been to the Protos shop in India. Their gear is of good quality. Got the county pads and some gloves. They've lasted me over 5 years!

Morrant pads arent PU faced are they?  That would put me off (just personal preference not saying its better or worse)

what is the weight of each pad does anyone know?  I'm looking for a top quality, high protection, light weight 2 strap pad.  So far I havent seen anything I prefer to the GM 2011 RSB Original. 

Thoughts?

I've had both. Morrants are slightly lighter & a better fit (for me), but the RSBs are wipe clean. I liked both but I've kept the morrants for this season & sold the RSBs

you wont have used the 2011 RSB's?  I assume your referring to the prior model?  the 2011's look better (for what that's worth)

No my RSB's had the dark lining (2009 model I think). I believe they're white inside now. Don't know if there's any manufacturing differences - the external shape is certainly the same.

I'd still take the Morrants over them, but only just, & the Morrants do look tricky to keep clean.
