Title: Your best kit buy?
Post by: Colesy on October 08, 2010, 04:19:43 PM
What was the best thing you've bought as far as your kit goes?

OR

What was the most important piece of kit to you that you've bought (except the box ;) )?


Mine would be my Adidas spikes, very very comfortable and good value. Being on your feet for 14 odd hours a weekend I think good spikes are important.

Torn between my ayrtek elite acis helmet and my sachin talisman helmet feels better and more comfortable than anything I've used but the bat has the best pick up to weight/size ratio I have ever felt and the middle is to die for hmmmmmm

Either my Asics Gel Advance IIs which I got for a very good price, My Newbery GT thigh pad or GN PP duffle. Each are the best pieces of gear for that particular product I have used thus far.

Guh! Masuri, my County bat, my Bradbury Pads and Gloves... Not so keen on my spikes, but I dunno! My Masuri Ti most likely, just for economy purposes, cost me £45 altogether! But my bat was a steal at £80 off RRP...

Got hold of a 2"9 newish Salix Fera with Gray Nics stickers, bit of a gamble I know for £65. Went like a train for the past 3 years. Or getting GM Purist Original pads and gloves new for £35 posted off eBay, can't see to let go of them! They are so nice

My GN predator 5 star got for a cheap winter net bat a couple of seasons ago, fell in love with it goes like train and had scored me a lot of runs over the past couple of years! Unfortunatly has been repaired several times and i think the next break may be its last!

I've had some well sought bargains (a few attributable to this very forum) but it has to be my GN PP Duffle. Great bit of kit...everyone should have one!

my charlie french recurve, paid just £40 for it as it was from a close friend and its a slightly an older bat - great rebound qualities, using as match bat as of the last few games of last season
