genuine or repop pads.now with pics.
« on: March 20, 2009, 06:30 PM »
just got some scotts flite pads from the us.
came in an opened scotts flite bag, however that dont mean they originaly came out if it!
whats the best way of checking these? is the "hook" velcro always on the split side of a stem pad? material quality ??? etc.  se pads pictured are genuine ones.
1.difference in foam type velcro not sewn around all edges. black pad has hooks on inside camo one has loops on inside.
 

more excess material beyond edge of velcro.

is there consistancy of construction on all flite pads? ???
would be grateful of any advice. :daumenhoch:
cheers. rooski.

sounds crazy but i find you can tell if something is old by the smell. is the stitching straight or is it a bit wonky?

got any pictures? close ups of the logo's

flite pads look good to me  , se printed not vinyl cut,however they were made in so many batches that lots change from pad to pad

for example ,ink colour changed alot between pads with even full sets having different coulred ink

the foam colour changed as did the type of foam

i have blue foam and grey foam in  aset of flight pads ,both the same colour pad

also stitching colour , i have original fite camo pads with black stitching and brown on the velcro

so remember that there were made just to protect your nuts not be collected and many variations exist
