Title: What softs should I get...??
Post by: Buzz on January 10, 2023, 05:51:50 PM
I appear to have some money in my PayPal account and having used the same pads and gloves for the last 3 summers am thinking of getting something new.

What recommendations do people have.

Note.
For pads, I like leather insteps, I don't like extra padding around my ankle area, I do like really light pads.... I also like blue trim.
I want matching gloves, I prefer sausage fingers, but am open to persuasion.

I like the new SS Pro white kit/sg hilite kit which seems pretty similar. I also like the Adidas kit although that is quite hard to come by...

Suggestions please.
I like value but given the above recognise that I could be paying north of £80 for pads and gloves each.

Should say i am only looking for new stuff!

If your not fussed about not having blue you can get a set of pads, gloves (sausage or split) for £130 delivered mate with a free thigh guard set in January.

Incase your interested

If you like light then the top of the range H4Ls are the lightest traditional pads ive picked up. Also have the leather instep

I have just bought these for this season coming, they are excellent.  They will be more then £80 total though.

The A2 softs are superb in terms both of quality and price point IMO.

Gloves for £60 and Pads for £80 👌

Pads are pretty light too ✅

The pads are actually Small Mens (currently in The Cricket Shed) and they are true to Small mens sizing TBH. So I can't comment on what the normal mens sizing would be like.

The gloves are mens but fit like an Indian mens definitely. Which I like as I prefer a tighter fitting glove.
