@SirScottiod give me a shout if u are interested in the Affinity Set as I've got some in stock 👍

[cricketbadger]

Thanks for all the replies, its helping out nicely

Does anyone know anything about the brand TNF (Tails never fails)? Its popular down under but I was wondering if the could be available it the UK?

Melbourne based I'm fairly sure. Not really made there way over here yet, would see the odd aussie overseas using one I'm sure.

Guy I used to play with, is over in aus now and plays at same club as one of the owners.

I really like the look of the gear, and it seems popular over there too

How much are the affinity ones?

That's what I thought. They look smart and rare over here so I quite fancied them.

I might be looking at an off the shelf glove as ive sent my other ones back (fingers crossed for a replacement!!) and I'm going to need some for the weekend!!

I can do a CBF bundle deal on the pads and gloves for 125 Inc UK P&P.

They seem to have gone down well with those that own them as well as during the AOC good gear test with Nico.

Yeh i do really like the look of them.
I think it's slightly out of my budget even with the good bundle offer.

Definitely on the wanted list though

Does anyone know how the sizes of pumas compare?  My kahunas were mens and fitted lovely, I've tried some GN prestige gloves over the weekend that were mens but were a tad on the small side.  Would I need mens or oversized mens in puma?

For me the come up fairly regular, however I do wear a pair of thickish inners...

Having been a keeper for 20+ years I was a massive fan of bespoke made to measure gloves. I had mine made by the late great Geoff Wymer but have since acquired details of a friend and business partner to some degree who still makes them. Please give me a yell if you want the details

Off the shelf the B3 gloves a very good (but I would say that) however they are all white which is not what you're wanting.

@Butterfingerz would I be able to get this chaps details please? Am interested in new gloves but also wanting to get mine current ones refaced if he does that too? The grip on my gloves is shot!

Hi all, quick question from a novice keeper... How snug does your outer gloves with your inners on? Does your fingers reach the top of the glove's finger?
My hand measured exactly between a youth and men's in length but width wise the youth is rather snug... I have P2 inners...
Thanks a bunch.

[HallamKeeper]

I suspect the answer will be simply, what ever you feel comfortable with.

For me, I wouldn't want my fingers right into the end of the cups, just to give you a bit of 'suspension' when you get hit, but fairly close. You don't want the gloves so tight that they make it difficult to keep your hands relaxed, equally you don't want them so loose you can't wrap the glove around the ball. Is use the padded chamois inners that match my gloves, I wet them slightly before using them as I (maybe wrongly) think they have more friction with the inside of the actual glove to stay put.

If you are between sizes in one brand maybe look at different ones, if you haven't already.
