Where to find belly pad?

xnfx · 10-19-2004, 12:36 AM

Hi guys.
Where can I find a good belly pad? I tried Fairtex since I usually order gear from them, but they are out. I'm looking for someone in the U.S. so the shipping is not too crazy. Where do you guys do your gear shopping at?

Thanks!

Yeah. I emailed and they are waiting for their shipment from Thailand, which has been delayed a couple weeks.

South Carolina, do those Ebay ones look to be of good quality?

yeah man they look good to me. On the other hand- it might be worth going with a twins pad- http://www.fightingsportsgear.com/ca...oducts_new.php $79

Hmm, hard decision. Never heard of Aries before. Has anyone here ever tried their products?

South Carolina · 10-29-2004, 03:41 PM

I ordered the one from ebay yesterday. I'll post when I find out how good it is.

xnfx · 10-30-2004, 07:59 AM

Sounds good man. Can't wait to see the review. I'm in the process of getting one of them myself.

Aries has great equipment, and sometimes fantastic deals on discontinued products. You might also try T 'n T. It is owned by 2 of Master Chai's sisters so you know they have great connections with the manufacturers in Thailand.

Thanks Chalambok!
Never heard of TnT. Do you happen to have a web site link for them? Yeah the Aries pad looks great from the front, but I'm just waiting to see how the pad is constructed on from the back. I was hesitant because I seen another brand pad that just had a big piece of foam on the behind the front part.

Anyone know where Aries gear is manufactured?

used the aries one tonight. Its very very good quality guys. As nice as any Twin's belly pad or fairtex. Nice leather...very durable stitching....thick leather strap with a metal buckle. No complaints at all. Very absorbing as well. full power teep kicks no problem at all.

Hey SC,
How long did it take for them to ship it out to you after you purchased it? I bought one also, but they did'nt tell me if they(Ebay seller) sent it out yet.

South Carolina · 11-04-2004, 07:19 PM

Hey man it was like 3 days. I got an email with the UPS tracking #. Very very very good shipping time.

xnfx · 11-04-2004, 09:08 PM

Sounds cool, thanks for the help. Mine went out Priority Mail, so probably gonna take a little while. Do you happen to have pictures of yours?
