Right looking at keeping kit having had various requests of late.

What do you canny keepers like in terms of gloves/pads? Any designs and thought welcomed, if there are some good ones they may well get put into production

[niceonechoppy]

The SS Gladiator Keeping pads are quality in terms of style and a white/black glove style is always good (like the old Kookaburra Silvers).

Well you have to decide between gauntlets and cuff keeping gloves for a start I know I always prefered gauntlets as extra protection but others don't the gm le ones look good
Pad wise light and snug fit I always liked plus easy to clean was a must

[justnotcricket86]

Long gauntlet cut, t-webbing for the gloves mate. White and black would be a good call

Pads wise, something along the style of kookaburra neon or kahuna. Much more supple than the SS style in my opinion.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

I see your all very technical with your terminology....iv not had a cuppa to wake myself up as yet so ill have to see what this gaunlet chat is about! i was thinking dungeons and dragons!

[roco]

Bigger wrist bit Tom most kids ones have the cuff or small bit but look at the gm le ones they have more protection on the wrist for those lovely pitches

[19reading87]

All black keeping gloves look bang tidy imo

[Ayrtek Cricket]

will prob be baclk, silver and green to tie in with the elite range id think

[shazz]

Green Palm facing, black back, with silver logos etc. Make sure that they are not 'aussie' (short cuff) style and they should have some sort of Ayrtek cushioning, meaning that you can still feel the ball, but protects the bony bits of the hand.

[justnotcricket86]

Puma, SS, Kook are all shorter cuff tom. The gaunlet ones go slightly further up for arm. As someone said above, the GM LE ones or GN Legend are traditional english cut.

And that colour scheme sounds quite good

[StandUpKeeps]

I thing with colour scheme should be White palms, Black/White back, with Green trim/piping to go with Elite Range, possibly octopus gripping on the palms and nice and affordable. Long cut wrist and forearm protection

[thecord]

I do like all White gloves. Think any green should be kept to a minimum unless you are going to use it for the palms.
Pads wise I'm a big fan of the puma flex techs. If you could do something similar to these I think you'd be on to a winner.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

New glove samples have arrived....

[thecord]

These are looking much better than what you had before although I still think they would appeal to more customers if the amount of green was toned down a bit.

[Colesy]

IMO they would look better without the green on index finger and middle finger so green on the outside and T-web.
