Post by: Cover_Drive on February 25, 2011, 04:43:31 PM: For me Combo 1, I don't know but I prefer to buy same pads and gloves.

My mate has D30 Original pads and they are amazing!! I would say better than my Original LE.

Post by: rp27 on February 25, 2011, 05:29:01 PM: I'd go for 1 or 2, probably 2 though as i'd want the better gloves, i think theyre more important

Post by: Canners on February 25, 2011, 06:27:16 PM: i voted 3 because i dont like the pads with the wide bar in the middle i dont think they wrap round your legs properly i would change the gloves for the l.e ones so id go for the 909 pads with the l.e gloves
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 25, 2011, 06:58:58 PM: That would be £120!

The d30 909 gloves can't a lot lower in protection than the LE?

Post by: Canners on February 25, 2011, 07:03:49 PM: have you tried any of the gear on?
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: mattw on February 25, 2011, 07:05:41 PM: I agree with Canners here, the 909 pads and the LE gloves would be the nicest combo imo.
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: Canners on February 25, 2011, 07:08:41 PM: cheers bud

id suggest trying on any softs you can before buying, unless your getting a great deal of course
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 25, 2011, 07:10:03 PM: My mate has the 808 pads, so I will try them on for size.

My dad has the original lite gloves from a few season back which are the same design as the d30 and feel good.

Post by: pacman75cricket on February 25, 2011, 07:13:04 PM: combo 2 prefer the gloves. used to like the inverted top hat
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: Canners on February 25, 2011, 07:13:47 PM: k cool its just my mate ordered all top end gm stuff last season online wore the pads once and hasnt worn them since cos he couldnt get on with them, he said they didnt wrap round his legs very well..... hence why i recommended trying before you buy

Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 25, 2011, 07:22:32 PM: I've got £140 at my disposal so want to treat myself, can regroup some money by selling my kook softs.

I had a pair of last years GM LE pads but they felt a little big so sold them on.

I might just drive up to Taunton tomorrow.

Post by: johan95 on February 26, 2011, 12:11:03 AM: Sorry I am a bit late on this guys, but I too would be inclined to say get the best possible gloves and decent pads. Maybe 707/808 Pads and Original L.E. Gloves, thoughif you are treating youself like you say I guess then go for TOTR best that you can get (ie. 909 D30 Pads - are they better than Original L.E. and Cheaper...? and Original L.E. Gloves...!)
Hope that helps mate, look forward to hearing what you go for in the end!
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: peplow on February 26, 2011, 08:33:36 AM: i also think it depends how long you ar elikely to keep them, if its new pads and gloves every year then go cheaper, if you wear them til they are knackered then go totr!
Title: Re: What GM pads and gloves?
Post by: Liam-SCCC on February 26, 2011, 03:22:45 PM: Right, drove up to taunton today.

Tried on 909 d30 and 909 pads. Both horrible! The mean where a little big on me and they didn't wrap around well.

Tried on LE and 909 d30 gloves as well but didn't like them!

Tried on a load of other gear and came away with some 2011 puma iridium 5000 gloves

Post by: SempreSami on March 01, 2011, 02:30:37 AM: Don't really like the look of the d3o pads this season, the designs look like they were let loose with a set square after several sherbet sticks.
