Right. It's that time of years where I would like to buy some new softs to give them their debut on tour and then pack away for the winter!
I have 3 option
1) M&H Dintinction Pads and Alpha Gloves £134
2) Kookaburra Kahuna 1000 Pads and Gloves £135
3) Wait for 2012 gear
They have to be matching and not clash with my Ayrtek Elite bat!
Thanks
Liam

If someone wants to see the results, can't they just press the "View Results" button?
If you want it to match your Ayrtek, then defo get the Kahuna.
-
Thought you had already done this about a week ago and we all gave you options etc?
-
Why not Ayrtek gear? Pads and gloves seem great quality.
I just feel that buying off the big boys you are paying over the odds. I don't have figures to hand but I'm sure Arytek are affordable, and most probably of equivalent value, I just think you'll be paying for Ponting's bats if you go Kookaburra! :D
-
ayrtek gloves are 45 quid!!!
bargin tbh they are so comfy!!!
-
Did u find ur gloves stretched after wearing them a few times Simmy?
Liam has some but wears inners and they area bit tight currently on him so is considering other options as well :)
-
I did buy Ayrtek gloves and received them but I don't like the feel so have got a refund and are sending them back. I did the measurements on ayrtek pads and they would be too big. Where I have tried on the kook and M&H gear.
The ayrtek gloves were lovely in design. Just not for me
-
Liam - are you using the kook 850 stuff at the moment mate?
-
I have ice 850 pads and iridium 5000 gloves
-
what is wrong with your current kit or is it clashing with the new bat?!!
If you like the kook stuff, why not try the H4L stuff - which is similar, but different...?
-
Gloves have a hole in the thumb and pads are wearing a bit so decided to change both
-
Ice pads are wearing already? that isn't good, how long have you had them?
Mine are only a season old, but doing well (could do with a wipe though - and some of the strap stitching is coming undone which is irritating)
-
2012 gear will all be previewed in less than a month, I'd hold on. Just in case.

It's not major wear, just a little in the instep but if I'm changing gear then I'd like to get it all at the same time

Do you think that will be including GM Tom?

That's the thing, I don't want to hang around for the new gear and then miss out on the old gear in the sales! Do you know when the softs are likely to be out?
-
yes all brands have their trade show in mid Sept
-
Oh yeah that's the one at Lords isn't it? Will look forward to that
-
Can do a set of bulldog spirit pads and gloves for £90. Could let you dad have them for you to take a look if you wanted ?
-

Twickenham is usually the big brand one. Lord's the smaller.
-
Oh right, remember seeing something about Lords on another thread. Take it they are both retail/trade only?
-
Yes
-
Why not get both Alpha pads and gloves. I find that the alpha pads are much more comfortable than the distinction pads, I found the detachable shin guard on the distinction pads to be awkward. I've just ordered a set of alpha softs, highly recommend them.
Plus with the current sale they are only £104.
Also , what about salix softs, always great.

Gn legend pads, nitro gloves.
