@SirScottiod I included all my kit including my socks because I am very loyal and don't like to change too much away from what I am comfortable with. I have tried in the past several different products that I didn't list as I didn't get on with as well and therefore haven't used them consistently. These include:
Willostix Stick- I found it was a bit too light and was therefore loosing my shape
Newbury Chest Guard- I purchased this item after an incident in the nets of being hit in the ribs a lot and due to my small size at the time faced a lot of bouncers. I thought it would just help me get used to the short ball when I was a lot younger but eventually felt it restricted my movements too much.

I've also played around a bit with the number of grips on my bats but I'm now settled on 1 and a half grips.

I didn't list my old Masuri Test Titanium helmet as I tried the Vision Elite Titanium and couldn't turn back, from the minute I put it on it just felt right and especially now I've added the Stemguard it feels complete. I have considered getting some Trusox as I've heard they are a unique experience but I'm not sure they are worth the price tag.

@TGB1997 I'm a bit jealous of range of kit you have/have tried!! I had never put any thought into my socks, as long as they were white is all cared about!!

My kit for the 2016 season I think is complete. As a bowling all rounder I'm very specific on certain aspects of my kit and currently I'm very happy with my equipment.

Bats:
2x Willostix Original Spitfire, weight- 2lb 8oz (one is from the past 2 seasons the other is brand new for this season)
1x Willostix Anaconda (stickered as a Spitfire) from a few seasons back, weight- 2lb 8oz
I use 1 and a half grips on all my bats and tend to prefer the octopus or snakeskin grips.

Pads:
Willostix Spitfire Pads
In storage I also have my old Willostix Anaconda pads too that lasted me 4 seasons before I purchased an updated pair

Gloves:
2x Willostix Spitfire Gloves
2X Cotton full finger batting inners

Thigh Pad:
Aero P1 Strippers

Box:
Willostix standard box

Helmet:
Masuri Vision Series Elite Titanium with Stemguard fitted

Boots:
I am mainly using the 2015 Adidas Adipower Vector (White, Solar Red and Core Black)
Back up pair- Adidas SL22 Fs II (White, Blue and Black) fairly used from previous seasons

Sunglasses:
Oakley Radar- Dark Blue and Black frames 
Oakley Radar- White and Red frames
Oakley Fast Jacket- Yellow and White frames
Oakley Radarlock- Sky Blue and White

Bags:
I am currently using the Willostix Spitfire Duffle and Sports bag combo which suits me very well as i like keeping certain parts of my kit separately. 

Clothes:
My clubs kit is manufactured by Surridge so therefore my playing kit is all from my clubs ranges.
I use a variety of different brands for my socks but mainly use Horizon and Kookaburra.

A proper kit beaver, but alas maybe it doesn't exist???? No pictures?? Forum rules and all that...

@SirScottiod I'm really lucky that I've had some great kit especially from Willostix over the past 6 seasons (this is my 7th season with them) and Andy has really looked after me since I started using their stuff. I've had some beautiful bats, even though I didn't get with my Stick but it was an amazing bat for a size 6. It had 22 grains and they were really straight too. The Spitfire bats are phenomenal and have such an amazing sweet spot. I really would recommend them as my older Spitfire is going into its third season.

I wasn't going to buy the Adidas Vectors last season but I picked up an achilles injury during last season and felt that I needed a bit more support so I decided to get them as I saw them in a sale and they have been fantastic to wear. I'll be honest that I'm really fussy on my socks as I like a padded feeling due to a past ligament injury.

I'm a bit of an equipment nerd and I'm really into new technology and trying little bit of new stuff at a time.

Kippax bats have shorter blade and longer handle, which is well known. But what can as a surprise to me is the overall length is 1cm shorter than a standard short handle bat. Everyone of the new kippax bats I have seen have been the same. Anyone else noticed this? Seems like they are copying off the Pakistani bat makers, in an effort to reduce weight and increase size.

Someone must have had a good trip to Tunbridge Wells for all that Willostix gear

My kit for the 2016 season, couldn't find my post from last years thread but not much has changed.

CA 5000 2'9
CA 5000 2'8

Blue Salix Pod One batting pads

Salix Gloves, can't remember the model and google is being unhelpful
Newbery SPS batting gloves

Stretton Fox thigh guard set
Old Style Masuri Ti
New Balance CK4020TV Spikes

Take a whole load more stuff with me on match days bit this is the essentials.


Close up of the bats, both relatively standard grade 3's but the old one goes better than many grade 1 sticks I have (and have had), the new one hasn't been knocked in or used yet.

My reply from 2015, still have the H4L but haven't used it, sold the TK to a teammate who fell in love with it, changed one pair of gloves. I fear my membership here may need downgraded.

Cap still going strong



Have meant to post in here for ages but never got round to it. So the above is my matchday kit for this season.

For those that are interested the kit above is

H4L Hellfire LB 2'9
CA 5000 SH 2'9
TK cleft shaped by @SillyShilly, reshaped and lightened by Salix and finally repaired by @Ryan, SH 2'8

A big bunch of fingerless inners

Salix Pod One pads in blue

Newbery Tour Fielding pads.

A Pair of old Chase gloves I got on here for the odd occasion I bat long enough to need a second pair.

A lovely pair of Salix gloves whose model name currently escapes me.

A huge stretton fox inner and outer thing guard set, having finally found someone tall selling a pair second hand, cheers @roco

Shock doctor box and pouch

An Old school masuri lid with Slazenger Ti grille

and finally a properly sun bleached cap, not sure how that happened playing in Oslo!

EDITEd to make the photo less of a 1:1 scale.

That's some top CBFing you've fitted into a short space of time :)

Also, is that a lady ornament next to your cinema screen?
