RPA Pads- Review
« on: February 14, 2011, 05:58:11 PM »
Just thought I'd do a quick review on the RPA Pads I picked up recently. Most of you probably haven't heard of RPA, but it's a brand co-owned by a player/coach at our club who hand-make their own bats.



They are seriously light and pretty much the first pair of pads that have fitted me properly for a while (6'4). Top protection and look the part in my opinion.

Cheers :)

You beat me to it Leo. Don't think it was intentional though.

Lol. Well reading it back it does seem like a review/advert! They are selling for around £35-40 posted Dave.

And no Buzz as far as I'm aware he's not colour-blind.

They look a little bit like Kook RP's

I see what you mean about the fielding pads idea Liam, I think it may be a "removable shin bolster", perhaps? Not 100% sure though! ???

Yeah I forgot to add, there are seperate pads inside that can be used for close in fielding which is a bonus!
And I haven't personally used one but there are a few floating around in the club and they look decent, Matt (mineheadcricket) has one and gets on with it :)

Ye I had a bat - was a bit of a plank and broke after about 7 games. I suspect they are now defunct.
