This one does not have the D30 pad that the Enduro comes with, which is outstanding. I don't know if this has the same pad as the DX Mk2, just in a different color fabric outer shell. We'll have to see what @DerekGDS says about it. One note about the Enduro with the D30 pad: I have owned just about ever protector on the market, and this pad is the best one I have used, and is on par (or dare I say better?) with the Power, which I also own. Hoping to see some shin guards with D30 in the future? 😁

Just arrived via UPS today: the limited edition “Kuta.” Same plates as the Enduro, with a different pad and color way. Same great quality coming from Derek and his team. Looking forward to strapping it on in 4 weeks!

@MadMax The grooves in the shoulder caps. Haven’t seen those in a Power. The plates don’t have the slots in them to pull the Velcro straps through to attach the pad. I’m assuming the pad is directly attached to the plates with Velcro like how Douglas does it. Haven’t seen a power with that set up either. Is this one of the later ones that ended up in a warehouse somewhere like the orange ones did?

Are we sure this is an actual Power? Several red flags on this one...

The GDS shirts are hands down the best shirts on the market.

Yes, I have to check mine periodically and push the hooks back down through the loop. I appreciate the updates with adding the tri-glide, i'll give that a whirl and see how it goes.

Just used my Mirage for the first time last night. Outstanding product, nice work all!

Just received the pullover. The fabric is far superior to the ‘S’ brand and is much more true to size than the other.

Was it these? They are golf shoes, but work great as a base shoe. I have a pair and like them a lot:

Called you on this.

After several months, this is the only belt I wear, plate or base. No more “Santa Claus” belts for me! 🙂

Pretty confident these are not F3’s. Patterns of the holes are not anything like the F3’s, and F3 also does not have hat extra knee cap like these do.

@DerekGDS Hey Derek, just wanted to let you know, I had a partner this past Saturday that was wearing a black with grey panel shirt from you guys, and I was very impressed by the quality. Looks like you are doing great work!

Love some of the blue shades, and the weathered metal.

@DerekGDSI think it’s a great design. I agree with what people are saying: you can go from the field to the golf course or out to dinner in it if you had to. Much more understated and subtle than previous designs.

I like the look of the latest MLB shirts. The contrast under the collar and in the button area are great. I think it would work very well if you were to use that template, but use some different graphics in those areas. (Camo, pink, stars & stripes, etc) The issue with some of those types of shirts that others are putting out is that it’s too much of those things, and they end up looking too gaudy. But just a splash in those 2 areas would be great, along with a more breathable and flexible material than what Smitty is using.

Can’t wait to get mine back!

Okay, I have worn this belt for 2 sevens and a nine. I can’t say if it does anything for my back because I don’t have any back issues. I will say that I really like the flex properties in it, without compromising the ability to hold 2 UL bags with a minimum of 4 balls in each. Tool a minute to get past it not being leather, but that didn’t take long at all. I feel great wearing it, and feel great coming off the field. The changes I would make would be to upgrade the buckle to look more like the Japanese buckle look, and add the sheath behind it like their regular baseball belts. overall I give it a Recommend rating. Thanks for the suggestion @Chris Hickman

With all the 1099’s we are getting these days, I need the write off. Better to put it into gear than giving it to the IRS. 🤣

It arrives tomorrow.

I’ve got to hand it to you buddy, that looks pretty good!

They have a couple items at pretty decent prices. The Wilson titanium frame is on sale for $179.99 and they have the black Wilson aluminum frame for $69.99. Both are frame only but great prices for both.

@Thunderheads Lock it up!

One is still in the package. The other was used one time. Selling the pair for $60, including shipping.
