I'm probably set for 2016 with what I have, but there's a couple of other bits I'd like.
This is what I plan to settle on (maybe...)

Red ink duffle - survives from this year
Aero P2s - may survive from this year (watching a GN set on eBay)
Asics Gel Advance 3 - reinstated from 2014

GN oblivion test pads - bought
GN oblivion E41 5 star gloves - bought
GN oblivion E41 LE - bought

I plan to phone Jake tomorrow to sort my final additions.

Double bar Masuri ti - on order
Masuri stem guard - on order

GN 500 - plan to order
GN prestige gloves - plan to order

Shrey Air Ti helmet. I have a Masuri VS Elite Ti which I used for 2/3 of last season. Really bought the Shrey for comparison so will go with one of the two and return/sell the other.

Ooooh - would you mind doing a comparative review on these lids? I'm currently in the market and trying to decide between these two.

I'm in for the 3 B's this year. Bat, Bag and Boots! The current plan is to order a custom Hunts via @Vitas Cricket, The Red Ink duffel is on order and I'm waiting for the 2016 boots to show up so I can retire the disappointing Lunar Dominates. Also in the market for a new Albion grille after mine suffered a little damage last year (it's the 2013 model and I much prefer the grille to new new squashed looking ones). As with each new season though, as the new gear arrives I could be tempted with other buys.

Call made to Jake at lunchtime today.
I now either already own or have placed my order for all my 2016 kit.
Roll on the winter nets so I can give the new kit some use! (Only 3 months to go)

Long time no post, but remember the Newbery Mjolnir debacle I had a few years ago? Well it has been sitting in their workshop for about a year, and today a bat arrived at my old house, addressed to me... Going to down to get it in a few, I'm so excited!

Last year I bought a brilliant bat off the equally brilliant Rob Pack, the 2nd belter I have bought from him. Best bat I've ever owned, and it brought me my first ever hundred... Between that, the mystery Newbery and a Kahuna 1250, I'm sorted in that regard.
I'm leaning towards possibly getting some new pads more than anything, but I can't really justify pumping more money into the sport right now. Having said that, I love the new GM Range in places, and the GN Classic bats look gorgeous.

Bought a Newbery Uzi on eBay last week but it feels a tad heavy, so may have to get another bat

Bought an Ayrtek helmet, went for the softs bundle from Bellingham & Smith, so that's 2 pairs of gloves and 2 duffle bags I have now! the bat is next, Aldred Spectre probably not sure on grade yet, depends what I see when I visit, will be picking up some Aldred thigh pads also.

Aldred Spectre 2.10 on its way, players grade made for a one of his pros who thought it felt to light for him.. looking forward to seeing..i say feel it as ive seen it...

Hoping for a new duffle bag - either the GM one or the New Balance one (really hoping NB do a Black and Orange one or a Blue and yellow one rather than the red "woodworm" one!). I will also be in the market for some new playing trousers.

May go for some new gloves too, that depends on the new model of GM OLE though... the new range is due for promotion in September.

Just filled my boots with new boots in the sales which has been great my other stuff is all good... I need to spend more time improving my fitness and practising rather than buying kit.

Trousers » done
Gloves » done
Bag » done (thanks eBay) .
New pads » done, thanks for the season ticket refund network rail, how did that happen?

I wasn't going to buy anything then the sales happened!

Perhaps you were subconsciously preparing for some intensive winter nets?

Having said I wouldn't get anything, I've moved on my Mjolnir and will sell my Kahuna 1250 shortly too.

Which means that I've just ordered a GM Aura 707 for £80! Great deal and I really, really hope it is decent. I'm after a bat for the shorter form, you see... Don't want to sully my beautiful RPC with such tripe.
Been after some classy pads but looks like I'll probably stick with my Powerbow GenX 750s, and the Omega XRD 1000 gloves.

Not a bad set up for me!
