Right did a measurement of my pads i need there between 39-40cm and that makes me need Small Mens and i have already liked small pads with a small compact top hat.

Sounds funny but the best pad i have found fit wise is the Hunts County Clipper does anybody have any suggestions

I like to wear them low as possible not to bothered about design anybody got any ideas...

[oldfudger]

To see what size pads required
from what points do you measure ?

Picked up a pair of Ayrtek moderns yesterday along with some other bits had them on when I got back and they sit really low and are light as anything. No traditional top hat to worry about and really comfortable IMO. Will need to be shaped but if you like the look I'd reccomend those mate

[charlie_bendall]

Any pics of these anywhere?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Yeah on our website

[ProWannabe88]

Website Mate. I'll get some of mine up on kit thread when I have all my gear they are really nice though, bloody comfortable for a modern pad and pics don't do them justice

middle of the knee cap down to the instep - where the tongue of your shoe would sit.

I am investing in some SAF's mate. Might be worth a look (not to detract from the Ayrtek chaps above...they are quality by the sounds of it. Pidge slept in his helmet all weekend by the sounds of it)

saf are top quality pads made from the same vendor as my last pair

i measure from a bit different i measure 1cm further down from the arch as i like them sat low and still need 40cm pads.

ProWannabe we talking the ccc cut ones ayrtek modern had 2 sets of them not to my liking

it a bugger but as people know iam a fussy bugger with softs and sick of buying 10 pairs a season...

[Richard]

Legends look really smart!

[Liam-SCCC]

this years blades?

[procricket]

they do but the top strap looks set a little high

i very picky in every sense that there downside



yes mate small mens


only drama i have with kookaburra apart from being a (big brand not to keen there) there top hats sit a little big and floppy for my liking in the past ala RP Kahuna

[justnotcricket86]

I'm picky as you like mate as well, going with the Arytek elites in small mens. Was looking at the Blades but have a larger top hat.

What's the cheapest you've been the Blade 950's for?

[Richard]

Dave, forgive me if im intruding a bit, would it not be worth asking one of the Indian makers to do you a pair exactly how you want them?

[procricket]

ayrtek elites does he make small mens not sure he does

Rich i had a pair made last season for me but sold them on from Chase

Not sure a Indian maker would make up 1 pair for me...

So Tom does have small mens TOM?
