Original Sin Team

Advantages: Excellent performance, very comfortable
Disadvantages: You're slightly paying for that quality

...the stereotypes about diminutive people by being quite aggressive and short-tempered on the football pitch. Oh. It's probably because he'd rather be sailing. Endlessly committed but occasionally just a smidge carried away, he's always liable to get into the Running Around Like A Headless Chicken XI. Almost certainly sick of the sound of my voice by now (just like I'm sick of how graceful a skiier he is...bloody short people with their low centres of gravity), he is guaranteed immortality in the history of the Thunderbolts by being the first (and so far only) member of the team ever to be sin-binned, much to the chagrin of... Ed - ...who probably thought that distinction was his birthright. A very cuddly and friendly rugby-playing bloke, his occasional on-pitch psychosis can only be explained by his sitting opposite Mark at work. Never one to shy... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply and doesn't attract Dirt
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than others

...of the product at hand! I have always been a fanatic about keeping my bicycles clean and well tuned.

Advantages: Light, full protection, ankle support
Disadvantages: Less mobility around the ankle area, due to the affor mentioned support

...with tape to keep the pad in place. This increases mobility but does leave the ankle slightly vulnerable; this is one thing you WILL NOT have to worry about with the Adidas Team Vuelo Shin pads. I am sorry to say that i have now invested in a new pair of shin pads, i say this not to highlight the dislike in the Team Vuelo, but to clearly state that these pads are suitable for many purposes and positions, but from a personal perspective, the support and protection is secondary to mobility and quick movement. The ankle area is elasticated but is still very thick. In turn the velcro straps to keep the shin pad in place are also elasticated to enable a good shelf life for many shapes and sizes. Aesthetically, the Team Vuelo are quite respectable, contemporary colours in black and white are used. Summary: Support and protection... Read review
