What are the best looking softs out there?
« on: November 25, 2012, 06:21:29 PM »

I've heard a lot of different opinions on this factor of appearance and am not sure what I like out of a few pairs..
What are your favourite looking pair of pads and gloves out of the whole market?
Small or large company..

Kookaburra to me, on the inside look to be the best in quality.
I don't really like a lot of colouring though myself so Salix sounds a better shout to me!

Newbery SPS

They are definately up there in my list, love the plain white look, the pads have the best protection I've seen as well.
Just a bit heavy though for pads..

I really like the SS Test Lite pads, look of a very decent standard of quality and good appearance.
Not really keen on the gloves though, not sure why..

I've got Woodstock ATM which are like newberrys anyway. So also a big fan of newbery softs, have just ordered some Salix pads/gloves to replace the woodstocks which have got holes in em where they shouldn't!

Are they of poor quality?!
They certainly look good but at the price of them and the similarity, I would have always opted for newbery.
At the moment, I use the G&M Original Limited Edition Pads & Gloves, they are certainly good quality, but the price is well on the high end!

The gloves have only lasted a season and a half, the holes are at the fingertips, to be fair they are my only gloves and I have batted for long periods in them so they have copped a fair bit of sweat. Will see if the Salix last longer
