Title: Your Oldest Piece of Equipment still in regular use?
Post by: LiamGuy on October 13, 2016, 05:09:33 PM: I've noticed how everyone on this forum loves acquiring shiny new gear, be it a custom bat, bargain sorts or new bag to fit it all in, it has got me wondering. What is your oldest bit of equipment that you still regularly use? And how old is it (if you can remember)?

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on October 13, 2016, 05:31:15 PM: Aero P2s that must be about 4 years old off the top of my head.
Most of the time my kit is lucky to last 4 months... :-[

Thinking about it it's from 2012, not that old! Man that feels like a long time ago though.

Post by: LiamGuy on October 13, 2016, 06:48:46 PM: As I started this thread I suppose I should contribute to it too.

My oldest bit of kit is my box, still using the first (& only) men's box so it's probably about 20-something years old

Post by: ElPerro on October 13, 2016, 08:00:32 PM: Toss up between the box and my aero strippers, that'll be changing for the new year though as I'm hoping to place an order for some new thigh pads that are less bulky

It's not very often you get to feel sorry for an inanimate object.

Post by: DACD 1987 on October 13, 2016, 09:17:56 PM: I have a slazenger fleece from the early 90's , and a team mate still wears a C & Q Rodeo cricket shirt from the 1980's.

I got rid of my old pink litesome box ( ala Bumble and Jeff Thompson ) in 2014 after wearing it since 1981. Lucky I had my two kids early!

Post by: SteffanLangholz on October 14, 2016, 06:10:02 AM: Oldest bits in my possession would be my thighguard and box. 6-7 years old both. Do have bats in that age, but not in my kitbag.

Post by: JTtaylor145 on October 14, 2016, 06:44:13 AM: Unbranded Box that I've had for 25 years. Why haven't I changed it, well people can see you pads...they can't see your box (not on the field anyway).

Post by: springbok45 on October 14, 2016, 09:12:35 AM: I only came back to playing towards the end of the 2015 season having not played since 98/99 when I went to uni, the only two bits of kit left over from then are my Masuri helmet from 94/95 and a mitre grip cone.
Title: Re: Your Oldest Piece of Equipment still in regular use?
Post by: SOULMAN1012 on October 14, 2016, 09:13:20 AM: My box is minimum 15 years old. Also my Masuri lid must be 4 seasons at least and my current Asics spikes are Gel Gully 3 and I think there own model 8 now so 5 years old.
