Gloves - Newbery SPS1 Camos 2010 (£35 from ebay at the end of last season. Really comfortable. Brilliant buy)
Pads - Hunts County Triumph 2010 pads. really comfortable to wear for a reasonable period of time (as done last night), reasonably light, but moulded rather than trditional shape. Can't fault them really! Like them a lot, and offer more than enough protection for the level I play (and more than enough for playing against considerably better players). £39 in the Sale at Barringtons.
