I would have a serious look at a few of the sponsor's gear before looking at any of the big brands.

I know Vulcan have some great softs for sale as do a few of the other lads on here so give them a PM.

No offence to Neon what so ever but their softs are bog standard IMO, for the same price I honestly don't think you can look further than Vulcan. But that's my personal opinion mate. Best thing to do is look at as many as you can.

£35 for a pair of gloves the same as the Chase R11, with pittard palms is a bargain regardless if they're bog standard or not though.
That and the fact they're plain, yet because of the pink distinctive means I like them. Each to their own though, and fair enough they wont be to everyones taste :)

Look at the brands all big and small then decide

Which are the cheapest from the same vendor

Which brand logo or labels you like the best

The truth is im hearing this is the best over other yet are the same product from the same vendor

So like I said if it a style of pad or gloves see if there cheaper elsewhere yet the same.

GN Legends are poor for a top of the range glove. Love my BlankBat split gloves so if you're after a split design definitely keep those in mind.

Along the similar line of the topic. I currently have the Ayrtek black modern split fingers and find them the best gloves I've ever had, easily. They now only have the green ones (no thanks).
So I am looking to get some gloves as near to in quality etc as the Ayrteks. Thinking the Blankbats ones are a good shout but any other options out there that people can recommend. Wanting pittard palms modern split finger type options.

The new Bombora gloves are of the highest quality, are a split finger design and have genuine pittards palms.

Will do those for £45 posted.

The new wave gloves are also on offer and are split finger, with genuine pittards again.

£40 posted

Postage is UK only on these though

If you are looking for really top quality, Salix, my pod ones really are amazing!

If you are looking for something cheaper, SS or SG are good.

Warsop Venom's are the gloves for me.  Softest I have come across and I'm buying some more in the off season.
