Twins Synthetic Leather Belly Pads - any good?

[Dave78]

Hi All

I want to get a coaches belly pad, but they are REALLY expensive. The Sandee leather ones are the best I've found pound for pound so far, but...

Body Active do a really reasonable Twins one, but its not leather it's synthetic!

Anyone have any experience of this and is it any good? Generally Twins stuff kicks ass, i can't see why they'd put their name to something shitty, but I've not seen one in the flesh so was after someone who had.

Cheers

:)

Twins one is good, ive had one for about 5-6 years and still use it nearly every day. we have a sandee, fairtex, boon,king and mtg pro ones in the gym also and all are decent quality. If you want somethig a bit cheaper but still decent try the blitz firepower ones, there not as heavy duty but do the job.

EDIT: James, is your Twins one synthetic or leather???
