Considering New Gloves....
« on: December 18, 2013, 06:51:50 PM »
I currently have a pair of Larson gloves that have certainly seen better days!

I have been looking at various gloves this winter and may well purchase some straight after xmas. 

I have narrowed my search down to three possibilities and would like your feedback on them guys!

My three are:

1- Kookaburra ricochet 1000 - £65.96
2 - Vanquish Elite - £45.00
3 - Salix Pod Chrome - £72.95

I must admit I am really swayed towards going with Vanquish for a few reasons really. I have two of their bats and would like gloves to match (sad I know), these gloves are genuine pittards and I think that's a great price and also... I think they look great.

What do you guys rekon I should do? really like the Salix gloves too but just don't know if I can justify paying that price!

Taken a few photos from their websites for you guys to look at

Save yourself some money and get the Vanquish ones, and it's not sad to match bats to gloves, it's proper haha  ;)

Difficult to say with seeing them in the flesh

Of the three, I do like the look of the Vanquish ones.

My choice of glove would be Puma.

I do like the look of the vanquish ones to be honest.  I quite like the salix too but cant understand why they are so expensive!

Salix are expensive because they are Salix.

I have Iridium 5000s at the moment, but any in the 5000 range are good.

The new Chromium ones look very smart (lot less colourful) so they may be my next pick when I need some.

I personally wouldn't go for the Salix, they're just a little too pricey. The Ricochet is a good option though, and the Vanquish ones look decent too. Hard to say from a pic, but looks like they have extra protection on all the fingertips. I find Kookaburra and Puma make really good gloves, so either wouldn't be a bad option. Best value for money is probably the Vanquish though! Prodirect and Sports Direct always have sales of last season's gear. It wouldn't be a bad idea to browse around on those sites. :)

the Vanquish ones look like the bulk of the thumb etc  is made of cotton mesh ? the Salix ones are made of pittard and all leather so that is what I would say is what you are paying for if it was me I would look at the pod ones if you are looking at Salix. if you are looking at gloves Its Just Cricket have some great gloves in sale at the moment

yeah I think the thumbs are made from a mesh like material, although that's just what I can gather from the photos.

They are genuine pittards as well. 

I do like the salix but they are expensive.  might have a look for some others before I decide... decisions decisions!!
