So I think I have now got all the kit I'm going to get before next season. Is has all been bought since the end of last season.
I got the Spartan MP 1000 pads and LE gloves in the prodirect sale. They will be my back-up pads and gloves (the other Spartan gloves were last year's).
The whiteout SS softs are amazing and will be my match pads and gloves for this season. I couldn't resist getting the thigh pad set too. All from DKP cricket. Great customer service
The GM original duffle was a Christmas present and is great.
The helmet is a slightly cheaper Albion from sportsdirect with a masuri titanium grill (had a maroon masuri last season but tried an Albion and preferred the helmet but not the grill. Lucky it fitted).
Shoes are last year's Puma evospeed and are so comfy, will probably stick with them.
Some of the bats have been seen before on here.
GM Mogul 606 2lb 9oz, great pick-up and balance from Vitas cricket.
GN x181 750i, 2lb 10oz, always wanted one of these so got one from eBay recently, direct from factory.
SS iBat, full profile, 2lb 11oz, just massive, from Onlinestockist.
SS LE, just under 2lb 11oz, full profile, again massive and great grains, from Onlinestockist.
SS maximus, most recent purchase, feels incredibly light, just amazing pick-up and still plenty of wood, very slight concaving. Haven't weighed yet but guess it is 2lb 8oz. From DKP cricket.
I think the maximus will be my match bat and will go so well with the whiteout softs. Got a teammate already interested in buying the iBat so may seek that on. May also shift on the GN but definitely keeping the other 3.
Enjoy the pics.
