Title: Puma Calibre 1000 bundle
Post by: cricketbadger on November 22, 2011, 01:10:31 AM

Anyone have any experience of using any of these pads or gloves? personally iv never seen or heard of Calibre 1000's, but if the gear is any good,then £60 seems a decent deal especially when im in the market for some new pads and gloves
any help would be great
cheers

I bought some Calibre 4000 Gel as I couldn't get any Tricks. Havent used them yet but they seem a sound glove, really supple and the finish is spot on. I'm no expert but the gloves and pads seem good value for the price mate.

never heard of the 1000, but as 6000 is usually the top line then i'd double check the quality before forking out £60.
