I'll probably do my standard off season thing of buying some gear now, then liking what's new and trying to sell the already purchased gear.
I need some new pads - my Kook Ice are on their last legs and may get a new pair of gloves.
I'm tied by my own rule of having a minimum two of the same brand for my bat, pads and gloves. I'm not concerned about all kit being the same brand, but I'm big on colour schemes matching. The B3 bespoke is going for a re-furb this week - may look at new stickers for that (currently blue, rumour is purple on their way; if so, there'll be gracing the bat next season with a blue or sky blue handle). My gloves are two pairs of Kook Ice 850s, which are ok for another season so I need either B3 or Kook pads. Will see what the good Doctor has when I drop in this week, or will probably go for the Ricochet 1000 pads which are on offer on various sites.
May look at another B3 with a slightly higher middle (I open and have been facing quite a lot of short stuff) or may speak to Jake re; a GN custom
