3. salix pod pro
4. bas sachin style
5. puma calibre 5000
6.gm 808's
7. newbery tour

Kamal, assuming that the Willostix ones are the Stick, I think they're a very sensible choice.  There's a recent review of them floating around on here too, as well as on our YouTube channel.  We also have the Salix Pod Pros in stock at the moment, and they're also right up there for me, but of the two, I prefer the Willostix...

Paul, your reviews are a great insight, and after watching them for the salix and stick, they were added to my shortlist. thanks for the advice

I know they are are not on your list but we are offering a set of Bulldog Spirit gloves for free when you buy a set of Spirit pads at the moment  So £69 for both. Made by the same people that make newbery softs.  Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks

SAF have a 15% off right now too and the gloves look good/well made...if you have a saf bat then i think the discount is higher...

We've had them for a while now, Uzair, but I think they came in a few days after you placed your CBF30 order.  Gotta keep checking that "new arrivals" page on our site, mate!

I'm a serial glove buyer....I feel better now I've admitted it!  ;)

What I have learned........GM 808 gloves are awful but the top end models are good, Puma gloves are the ones by which I judge all others they are superb, Salix gloves are nearly as good (If you can buy some Pod Blacks then do!) and most Indian/Pakistan gloves are too small!

Of that list I would look at Puma first then Salix. I can't comment on Willostix and H4l as I haven't seen them but Puma are the market leaders for softs and have been for a while now...

I will be honest and I must admit I fantasize about gloves for some reason.

Anyways, the best would be Salix Pod Black, then Puma are very good and then Newbery SPS are very good as well!

I'm only talking about top of the line model, I say to myself, 'when you pull a trigger make sure you go all the way'

I have the willostix stick gloves and they are class. Very high quality and solid protection. Just about the best pair I've owned, couldn't recommend them more highly.

The elite gloves in black are without doubt the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn!

Don't know about over there in the UK but here in Oz the most comfortable gloves I have found over the past 28 years of playing cricket are Kookaburra

My kookaburra gloves I have a very comfortable, however I wanted to try some from a sponsor off here.  Haven't yet used them in a match, but in a short net, they were very comfortable!
