Havn't heard much about them but there was a lot of criticism over last years kit!

Where was the criticism Leo? I read one or two posts regarding looks of the gear, but not masses. I think they're still fairly unknown.

This years gloves are ok, although not sure on all that Gold personally. But the Vasu 900 pads look very nice.

Owned and run by Grant Elliot and a couple of Wellington boys, soft goods look decent, bat stickers could be worked on, but Elliot has been promoting well with his own performances of late.

duck and run are based down here in devon, they produce decent quality gear at reasonable prices.  they supply bats for many local players down here and i can tell you some are absolute crackers!  i love the profile of their top bat and they are very impressive in the flesh.  i believe their bats may be made by crown sports?

Met a chap from www.upcricket.com (http://www.upcricket.com) at the Middlesex academy a couple of weeks back.  Bats are pretty chunky, had a hit with one and it had great ping.  Meeting him next week to discuss club kit.  Website could do with sorting a bit but what I have seen of the gear looked nice.

I love the new gold gloves that duck-and-run have released. Similar to the old puma ballistics.

is it me or do the duck and run pads have 4 straps?

Title: Re: Small/New brands gear for 2009
Post by: Tom on February 15, 2009, 09:44:42 AM

Think they're inner fielding pads.

I always thought fielding pads protected the knees aswell?
Those gloves look really nice though theyve done a good job :)
