Oh right!
I knew about the SS and Champ bits but I didn't realise the likes of newbery, G&M etc. didn't make their own stuff..
Care to give me a few examples of who uses Champ and Robinsons?
Thanks

Dave, the question is what are the best looking softs, not who made them, thus it is subjective personal taste.

I accept it would be silly to say I like the gm kit, but not the kook kit when they aren't made a million miles apart, but there is a certain amount of colour differences!

look around mate it not hard to see who uses who bud.

robinsons well look at say the old chase behind the top hats then look at others.

Champ well there a bit harder they copy anythnig and anybody

It's certainly an eye-opener.

I agree that the new Chase FLC gloves are real classy. I bought a pair of Shamrock gloves off the forum and they are very comfortable.  I'm also a fan of the SS softs.

Nice looking softs are always a bonus but surely it has a lot to do with comfort and build quality as well?
Like Jenko said his Woodstock sifts have lasted a season and a half and of there his only set, and he's played and practiced a lot that god for a pair of gloves IMO!

I'd expect a pair of pads to last longer though

[Nickauger]

None of the above!

I agree that comfort and build quality is a major factor but I will just wondering what people think in the terms of appearance.

None of the above!

What do you like then?

[sloggerroz]

For me salix or gn legend pads and saf gloves.

Salix is leading massively in the poll!
Never realised everyone loved the appearance of them so much!

[petehosk]

Gret quality softs out there including Chase, H4L, Newbery, Puma, GM, etc!
But my faves have to be Salix and SAF at the mo!!
