Best bat would be either my Gray Nics Powerbow (Harrow) or my TLB sample that I got off Tom.
Softs wise would either be my Vulcans I had or my current Oblivion test gear, lid would be my Masuri Ti and extra protection my trusted Aeros. Spikes being my Puma Calibre Tricks LE,  still going strong and this is their third season - only need to change the spikes when they go blunt!

Never found a bag that has kept me happy. (Sound like a woman!)

Bat: Very difficult to choose but my Salix Pod just gets it. Closely followed by my Newbery Uzi & Stac Black Prince.
Pads: Stac Black Prince, they are so light (Look exactly the same as Ayrtek Premier ones). Only ever owned 3 pairs in 30 years I've been playing. One pair every 10 years isn't bad.
Gloves: Willostix Stick, love them look very classy, even better than my salix pod blacks.
Bag: Newbery Test. Still going strong after 15 odd years.
Protection: Aero p2's. Just had them this year and very impressed.
Helmet: Masuri Ti. This is my 3rd helmet so hard to believe I've had as many as sets of pads in my life time.
Spikes: Asics
Always been bat obsessed and try different ones all the time. Then shift them on unless they special.  My team mates think I have a problem! I've never really got the bug for kit but that has begun to change since joining the forum. Now own several pairs of gloves for the first time and actually looking to get new pads even though my Stac's are still great.

Bat: Currently Puma Calibre 5000 or my CA 12000 - Amazing Bat but only lasted 1.5 seasons
Pads: Blenheim Pads - Super Comfy and just the right size for a slighter shorter person as myself
Gloves: Blenheim
Lid: Masuri Steel Black
Bag: Salix Pod Pro Wheelie
Aero Strippers - By Far the best piece of kit in my bag.

Bat: Hawk XB900 Players very closely followed by a Newbery Grizzly
Pads: Hawk XB700
Gloves: H4L for pure comfort
Bag: Newbery Tour
Protection: Aero P1's but getting very tempted by Stretton Fox as a future purchase
Helmet: Masuri Ti
Spikes: Asics Gel Advance 3's/Adidas SL22. Both have very different feel but both as comfortable as each other.
