Protection

What sport are they for? Maybe look for a specialist sports shop? I know there used to be one in whitton (near heathrow) that did American football stuff... I'm sure there's plenty of bmx/skate place that would carry some kind of elbow pads... But I wouldn't worry too much, you prob won't need them tomorrow (cue horrific crash involving just your elbows!)

From the link above it looks like they're a football accessory. ?
I would like to get them, I'd rather not stress about being injured.
I like playing polo but I also like being able to ride my bike.
I'd prefer to look like a dork and enjoy myself.
I got hit by a bus and a car on separate occasions and did myself damage, its no fun, trust me...

Just got an ice hockey helmet off ebay but is just a little bit too small which is really annoying.

Its got the full face guard too.

Dammit!

Put your head in a vice.

super stylin'

My latest pair of gloves after finally destroying my 661s and Alturas. No doubt these will also be a bit shit and disappoint me.

That blue mesh bit around the wrist is a velcro magnet. Try to keep it away from anything hooky.

I need some new gloves for summer... anyone got anything cheap and cheerful I can buy/re-use? I'll probably chop the fingers off anyway*.

*Hardcore polo.

what size hands do you have? I may have something for big hands

Unfortunately I have tiny hands Rik... not as small as Rays though.

for me, these have been awesome. and not too pricy. maybe go halves with someone?

i got these on the two for one deal:
this +
this

and so far really like both. not very warm but protective and pretty grippy

for me, these have been awesome. and not too pricy. maybe go halves with someone?

This 2 for 1 deal is still going on. Are these gloves still standing up?

yep.

Do you have a preferance of the two? I also need some new gloves...

I've been looking at these -

Anyone tried Thor gloves before ?? Any comments ??

Hassan, Mike and Iain Otters used them and they say they are good. the design of the finger tips is such that apparetly they dont split as much

this are in offer because they are last years

Booooo, only got small or x-small.

all sizes, and very nices

Do you have a preferance of the two? I also need some new gloves...

I'm in Cambridge so after postage would probably not save that much.

Meant did cohen have a preferance then I'd get two of the same, I'm thinking the one with padded palm...

I've finally got round to ordering an ironclad glove... They are getting rid of the two for one and half pricing everything instead...

Also they have an interesting range, most including knuckle padding and grip padding to different degrees...

They also have a cut resistant glove with a wire mess lining! A hi vis glove in case you need to be visable while playing. And a camo glove incase you want the opposite... All three around £6... Which isn't bad although postage is still £6!

I'll buy another pair (mine went AWOL is Norway while fishing on the North Sea) if you want to split shipping?

Balls all ready ordered... Tell me what you want and I'll see if I can add it?

Shouldn't you be revising or something? ;)
