I have been using a couple pairs of gm ole's this year
-
GN Prestige gloves from last year for me. Might get another year out of them but will likely buy a pair of predator ones
-
GM 303 gloves for me, always gone with entry level gloves as prefer thinner gloves to feel the ball more, ended up keeping a lot more than planned this season as jnr keeper not quite ready for our level yet but hopefully he works hard over the winter,
-
H4L ones, quite wide in the palm decent feel for the ball though. And i dont keep much so feeling for the ball is key
-
Started with kook ones, replaced with gm ole. There decent, just not as good as my kook ones
-
Started with this year's GM Le but they got stolen so purchased GN Predator 3 1500. Got to say much prefer the GN gloves and they were cheaper.
-
I've been using GN F18 1500s that I got from prodirect on sale. They are a very, very nice glove.
-
spent most of the season using SS Players Edition (the blue camo version) then the webbing went on them a few weeks back so have finished the season using the SS Players Dhoni edition (Green camo).
Ive got a pair of the all white SS glves for next season but tempted to get a pair of the B3s
-
Hunts County Clipper LE from 2016. So i definitely need a new pair for next season.
I have had County gloves for years and always found them brilliant quality and value.
-
Gray-Nicolls Predator 3 Limited Edition which after a few matches settled to be a very good quality glove indeed, as should be expected given the retail price. Managed to get an early season deal on these to take the edge off the premium pricing. Only criticism is some of the printed branding is not durable at all.
Aero KPR 1 inners, tried these for the first time this season, not convinced they are much better than traditional chamois inners for comfort or wicket taking success but they are washable so that's good.
-
GN PREDATOR 3 LE, used SS players edition then switched it to GN. I don't regret it at all
-
Started preseason with the Gray Nicolls Predator 3 1500 but felt the palm padding was too thick and a tad bulky/lumpy for me personally (a problem I`ve had with several recent Gray Nicolls models since my favorite model ever, the legends). Then opted for SG Hilite for most of the season which are an excellent supple pair of gloves at a great price with a thinner palm offering greater feel. Recently picked up a pair of Kookaburra 1000L gloves hoping as SG make Kookaburra equipment (I think) they would be similar. Palm thickness was similar and I actually prefer the T webbing and slightly larger fit of Kookaburras.

Started off using the 2017 GM original gloves, webbing went half way into the season so purchased a pair from select cricket and they are fantastic !! Best pair I've used to date, plenty of mesh on the back hand so it stops the hands sweating and as for inners I used the GN predator xrd's, in my opinion they are far superior to the top end aero inners
-
I used Kookaburra pro issue gloves and H4L Custom gloves this season - both were excellent.
-
And sorry but had to correct the spelling in the title as it was driving me nuts every time I saw this topic!

Wore the SS Dhoni Camo gloves and would add that these are really good. Will also add that the SF inners that I have are really well padded. Highly recommend both.

Where did you pick up the pro issue gloves Pete?

Biggest issue I find with them is when you take them off to field the ball or at drinks when you take them off and put them down. The ammount of hours lost each season searching the outfield for them :D

GN Predators LEs for me. Also got the 1500s for some practice sessions to extend their life. Had them re-palmed in August and they should be fine for another season. The 1500s were good in some ways. Felt better catching the ball one handed, a bit more dexterity but much prefer the LEs as an all-round glove. Used the predator padded inners but switched back to my old XRDs from the previous year. I thought the finger of the predators twisted inside the glove, the XRDs are more tough.
Got through the season with my hands unscathed. No bruises at all.
-
GM OLE with Aero inners, way more supple than previous H4L
-
B3 with Aero inners. Really liked my set up this year.
-
Kook Kahuna players with Kookaburra inners. I am a stand-in keeper and used it only for 3 T20 games. Pretty comfortable pair of gloves and offers great protection.
