I had Hawk Cricket pads and gloves last couple of years, wernt bad but protection could have been a little better. This year bit tighter on cash so gone for these:

Hopefully gloves will do a job otherwise i might have to splash the cash and go fro Gray Nics - had a pair of Fusion supagels a few years back and they were great gloves.

I thought you were from Australia? And you've never heard of kangaroo leather? Haddins Kookaburra's palm were kangaroo leather and were around the £120 mark

I have tried the Red Kooks on and they are the best gloves I have ever worn, but cannot justify spending over £100 on them. Won't make me a better keeper though...

I've been using the red K leather Kooks for about 2 seasons now. Hands down the best and most comfortable gloves I have ever used.
Sadly they seem to be a little worse for wear at the moment and the price makes it hard to justify another pair  :(

Humph. Sold out of our first batch of legend keeping gear.

Have been waiting for the next lot so I can grab a set for myself. Will be delayed until I'm already a few games into my season (weather permitting my first game is April 6th...)

So in the meantime I will be using a bit of SS gear that I picked up today when visiting the warehouse.

I dug through a bin marked 'pro' and found a pair of mostly blue camo (with a touch of white) dhoni style keeping gloves labelled as 'Ultimate' and some keeping pads labelled 'Gladiator' - both are SS branded not TON. I think these model names were available to retail in 2011/12 but these feel 'nicer' than the typical off the shelf gear from SS.

The gloves particularly are fantastic. Supple, comfortable and very well made, as all Sareen gear is.

I'll get some snaps up in the morning, and no doubt anyone who is coveting them will get the opportunity to buy them in early May when my Legend keeping stuff arrives. :)
