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.

The +50 range from Aus, if u can get it??

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

Well i'm in the UK so i'm not sure if I can get a hold of the +50 range for sponsorship prices.

@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.

I picked legend pads and prestige gloves when I purchased my sifts this year as were best combo from what I saw at vitas

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

thanks for the help guys. I think i'm going to go with legend pads, prestige and powerbow gloves.

I would I have just got home from a recruiting drive and the wife has bought me legend pads and prestige gloves and to top it all of she has bought me a Halestorm....

@procricket What did you do to deserve that 

[procricket]

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...
