much nicer softs in OZ
« on: September 08, 2021, 08:58:08 AM »
When are the UK part of kookaburra going to catch up with Oz? the softs are so much better on the eye

hopefully there will be some pro issue gloves spare at kooks this winter, the last ones i got were amazing but doesnt matter how long they spend in the airing cupboard I still have to change them after 10 overs batting

I had the matching pads as well, gutted when they ripped

The gloves give me massive SG vibes. I think my first proper club SGs were about 90% identical to those Kookas.

they were ghost pro player specs but in the bubble colours, sadly meant for Phil Hughes.

Probably the best gloves ive had, so much lighter than the top end retail ones

Best topic I’ve seen for a while!

I’ve been crying out for this for ages. I’m even tempted to order direct from Oz

GN Aussie softs also look better than the UK ones.

Yes I whole heartedly agree.

Genuine player issue Kook kit is brilliant. Would love to get my hands on some gear suitable for games in actual whites.

used to be so easy to get hold of, i guess they are limiting the amount they make now.

all the pros seem to get ghost style gloves with with whichever colourscheme they are using. waiting to see if my contact in OZ can get any player issue for when he comes over

I like the UK Bags much better than a lot of the OZ/NZ styles though.
