still surprised the the HiRB RHP hasn't been redesigned considering so many keepers (incl myself) find it necessary to take a knife to it.

@Folmer... it's working for me
@Rosbif ... We continue to make small modifications to the right, however, we will soon start work on a complete revision. It's too early to even suggest an availability date... but know that we are working on it.

thats good news. I was given a old Mercian RHP and tried it out. there is no way I could go back to that type of HP.

Not sure what you did (if anything), but it's working now.

Just noticed: The Robo kickers now also come in XL. Not that I need it, but it's good for those with large feet as I know several GKers where L was too small.
Are the LG's now also available in XL? And what length is the tongue? (as I heard some people need to cut the tongue of there L kickers to fit in LG's size M)

Does anyone have/know someone who does have any Yellow cloud 9 kickers (size large)??
I am looking for a pair as have recently bought the yellow legguards. I live in the UK and so this is only for UK keepers! :D Thanks

@ Angel Keeper:
While you are still groing I wouldn't bother getting your own gear. Especially if the club provides adequate kit. If you do want to get your own stuff go for kickers first, gloves second.
At your age Yahoo would provide sufficient protection.
Also before buying kit, consider what level you want to play and if you are good enough to get there. (be realistic) It is useless to fork out the cash for Robos (international level) if Clouds (sub-national level) or even yahoos (Regional) would suffice.

Does anyone else have large kickers and medium leg pads?
If they have, do they feel it necessary to trim some of the foam off the top of the kicker tongue as they just dont seem to sit right. and seem to be taking chunks out of my nice leg pads :(
Also can anyone from obo confirm if the tongues on the medium and large kickers are the same size or different lengths?
Thanks

yes you have to cut down the tongue a bit.

2011-07-15 21:22:22
have you had to do this to yours?
and how much did you cut them down by?

can't remember how much I cut off but it was around 2-3 cm i think.
definitely has to be done
i got this eail from OBO when I was wondering the same
Quote
The large kicker tongue is a little too long for the tongue recess in the medium legguard. It's definitely okay to take a sharp craft knife and trim the tops of the kicker tongues down so that it fits properly.

hi just wondering with the cloud and yahoo kickers are they clip straps or buckles? and if yes can you by spare ones and put them on the kickers

The CLOUD and YAHOO kickers have metal buckles. Replacement sets are available, either a full set or front only.
