Morning; first time poster.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the NB gloves, particularly the TC 560/DC 580 ranges? Love their colour schemes but can't see any reviews or advice about them online!
Cheers

I bought the DC1080 gloves in blue and yellow and they have been fantastic. Really comfortable and i think they look amazing. Disappointed they only sold them through certain retailers in that colour and that they have dropped it for next season
-
Cheers, 1080's are a little out of my ££££££ I'm afraid.
Part of me wants to wait for the 2015/16 range (is there any of thing online for viewing?) before biting, but I'm sorely tempted to do it now. Hmm.
-
I'd wait for the new range to come out and get the Orange/Black ones if it was me!

@rickjames http://www.cricketcentre.com.au (http://www.cricketcentre.com.au) has the new range in their catalogue which you can view online.
Although this is in Aus I'd expect the 2016 UK range to be similar. Like others have said I'd wait for next years range (personally I prefer the orange and black) if you can or wait for the end of season sales and see if you can get this years range a bit cheaper. :)

Cheers all, much appreciated for your help. When do most places start their end of season sale on bits? End of September I assume.
Should probably add a bit of a background story; hadn't played for about 10/12 years until about 7/8 weeks ago when I stumbled upon this group of people who net down the road every Saturday afternoon and immediately got the buzz back again. Looking around for amatuer/social clubs and there's one down the road who need players of all standards, so an ideal fit. Probably just getting a bit ahead of myself with all this kit consideration so late into the year, hah.

The UK range is the same. Although there are many more shoes than the ones listed on that website.

Probably one of the best times of the year to start stocking up. You can never have enough kit (or so I keep telling myself). I have back ups of back ups much to my other halfs annoyance :)
New Balance spikes are really good too if you're looking for those as well.

Looking now I'd definitely say I still like the red/white and blue/yellow over those 2016 schemes. As for the 2015 range the only site I can see the DC 580 stuff (I'm a RH) is a place called Lukeys Sports, main places seem to have obviously sold out way earlier in the year. Shame IJC don't have anything as I live 5 minutes walk away.
Only thing I've been advised to sort are a set of thigh pads and a box, so looking at those and some NB shoes.

Just had a look online as well and they do seem to be pretty scarce at the moment (most retailers might not have re-ordered in preparation for next years stock). Yeah definitely sort yourself out a box mate I'd say that should be first on your list :D
-
Also hoping they do some of those duffle bags. Again, whilst they're sold out I can't see any other photos of each compartment online which is almost useless!
