Pads and gloves

Hi there,
I've got a sponsorship with Gray-Nicolls for the next two years and I plan to order my softs soon. I'm currently thinking of going for legend batting pads and prestige gloves. Before I order my softs I just wanted to ask if anyone else has any recommendations for possible gloves and pads that they like in the range.

I picked up some velocity gloves today, they're lovely!
Mine are only the 550 model so the ones higher in the range are likely even better

@WalkingWicket37
I've looked at the velocity gloves and at first I thought they were a bit garish but after a while i'm starting to like the look of them.

The first cricket box was used in 1874. The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I'd be going for the legend pads as an absolute no brainer. You can then mix and match the gloves around those...

well I have been saving money for a long time and do not buy clothes like normal people and in truth not bought jeans or anything for a long time.
thought I was done with the chase stuff but she knows I was looking at halestorm for a long time.
I also gave away most of my gloves

Everyone goes for Legend pads, they are top notch no doubt but not everyone needs that kind of protection, remember it comes at around 950 gms per pad weight. If you don't face very fast bowling/play on slow pitches mostly and you do a lot of running between wickets, then I find pads less than 800/750 grams to be much more helpful in running between wickets, helping bat longer without getting tired much...
