Many of posters here inquired about the padskins I have so here is the review of them. So like many of you here - i play both in white and coloured kits and really did not want to spend money on a quality pair of coloured pads, considering i love my BAS 20/20 ones.

I found out about these PadSkins though this forum and messaged Richard right away. we exchanged a bunch of emails and he got me sorted with a pair of black padskins.

Initial thoughts - the material looks and feels like very good quality. the skins fit effortlessly over my pads - after ordering i realized that i had two strap pads and these are made for three straps. i was able to counter that by weaving the straps through the extra hole - it worked like a charm.

I used these in a game on saturday and i didnt even remember i had these on. my main concern was the comfort - i dont really care how these things look - but in the end they dont look that bad actually. With the complete kit - they look kinda cool i think.

Service wise richard was excellent. very open communication - kept me up to date on what was happening with my order and a pleasure to deal with as well. I look forward to placing more orders for my team in the near future.

Thse Padskins look great on your pads, you play even better with these on. Run like a cheetah and play shots like a pro with that crazy upper cut for six over the point boundry at the mavis ground :)

Forgot to add that 8 ball 22 at the Creditview ground (with your newberry)
 
hmmm I would love to see you wearing those can this be arranged ???

Pardon me for poking in but which ground are you guys talking about ? There is no ground on Mavis if I remember correctly, unless you're talking about Cassie Campbell one...
 
Partly blame myself, for the fitness. Its a part of the game, should be more careful next year :)
 
Cricket in colour have permenantly ceased trading. Anyone interested in purchasing coloured cricket pad covers should visit www.clads.com.au

Cheers for this mate!

Do you know why they ceased it permanently because these clads people look a bit expensive.

Also may I ask what kit do you have?

good idea but not good enough to run it as a standalone business!

not as many people who have to use different colored pads all the time?

The ones playing better levels get pads for free or at a big discount - so they wont be bothering with such covers!

First time I saw them they reminded me of the doona/pillow covers!!
 
Couple of weeks ago I was watching highlights of MCC and some next county playing in UAE (Samit Patel's team) and they were using these padskins, green ones if I remember correctly
 
Cricket in Colour stopped trading over a year ago. If you saw pad covers being used in the MCC game I would've thought they would've been from Clads.
