Just wanted to ask where did you get yours from and which one have you got. Dad has agreeded to by me one for christmas, thinking of getting either the elite or the elite pro. Both I would have with shoulder pads. Is there anywhere I can get them from that I can have different coloured shoulder pads (can only find sites that sell them as the pair and the same colour

Could I please have you opinions on them?

Thanks in advance

Hate to put a dampner on your enthusiasm, but i personally find Rodney Powell bp's really bulky, stiff, and uncomfortable! I currently have an airowear which is much better because the rodney powell are made of single thick foam pads, whereas the airowear is made from 2 layers of thiner foam, so is much more flexible, and imo alot more comfortable. I think when i next need a new bp i'm going to get a treehouse, i tried one on, and didn't even notice I was wearing it!!!
 
I got my shoulder pads from dragonfly saddlery - id ask them if u can get diff colours. Ive seen people with them so must be do-able.
I love my Rodney Powell - I guess its personal pref.
 
I find them great. I got mine from Solihull but I live no where close. If you know what size you want you can order over phone and it will be sent direct from manufacturers.

Love mine (and i am now on my second)
 
How much do you think it would be for me to have navy and powder blue halfs, and one navy and one powder blue shoulder pads, shouldn't be a huge size as I am a size 6 (dress size) need to measure up though for the BP.
 
I think it was about £20 or £30 extra when I last looked on top of normal price and you might have to wait for them to make it! Your supplier will know - mine did!
 
I went to Equi Shop in Salisbury last year but that's because it was recommended to me when I was looking to buy a BP and it's near me

The customer service was excellent and I had a cuppa and chat with them too!

I have a series 6 special female shape one, size 3 and I'm a size 12 on top. She did orignally try a big kids one on me but didn't sit quite right with my wonky shoulders. You'd get into a kids one easy peasy I reckon.

They are bulky but they offer very good protection and I hardly notice I'm wearing mine anymore. Plus, they're English manufactured which is a bonus for me.

I got fitted for mine and it was lush but they said should I change shape, I can go back for a re-fitting. I can also send it off to K C Sports (who make them) to get it checked after a fall or adjusted in anyway.

I think mine cost me £91 and it's black.

Definitely get measured

They usually measure you in a t-shirt so it's a snug fit. I can't wear mine over a hoodie and wouldn't anyway (too hot) but you're not meant to be able to.

I think they said they could ahve sent mine away to be adjusted before I bought for free but then if I want it checked after it's a small fee. I might not have remembered that right though.

Have K C Sports address and phone number here if you want it?

I'm not sure where's good to go in East Sussex but I'd be interested to see if anyone recommends anywhere as I'm headed to W.Sussex after uni so paying close attention to any recommendations in that area.
 
my daughter has one in green and navy blue with one blue and one green shoulder protector. She has had it for a long time and loves it. I think it cost me an extra £30 at the time to have it made like that. Sorry I can't remember where I got it from though
 
I love mine, have had it for just over a year now. before i got it i never wore a bp but i wear mine everyday now.

mine is light pink and dark pink- i got it from where i work and i know we can get differant coloured shoulder protectors.

mine is a 3W, in 2 differant colours, and came to £95 in total (but then a got me staff discount!!!)
