I bought these the other day x2 pair as good as my adidas ones I think

I am going to get a pair of those too. I thought they looked decent when I found some in decathlon the other day.

Best trousers I own are the Neon ones I have - you need to stock them again. So much nicer than our club ones in GN and more recently Icon.

I can't quite see from the photos... are they more of a lightweight mesh compared to more traditional whites material?

I've not bought any new England kit for years, for me Adidas was still the best quality, their shirts were very well cut.

Aha thanks mate, it's in the works again finally - planning to have a few items of training wear/whites (same trousers you'll be pleased to hear!), and then a bigger off-field casualwear range. The off-field gear will be less aimed at activewear and more post-cricket beers in the pavilion attire!

In fact I have to say the decathlon whites are miles better than the adidas whites they have side mess panel wash well and are light and a good quality material.

I know a guy who 6,2 who says they’re quite short in the leg at Large!

Decathlon sizing is a bit mad. You usually have to order a size up. Your mate should have gone foe XL.
Separately I have some Masuri whites which are really nice and have a decent leg length for the taller gentleman.

I ordered 3 pairs of Phantom trousers in their sale as well as 2 hoodies. All great quality, but all 3 pairs of trousers are different in terms of weight and fit! (Whites, Navy and black)

My club kit is Surridge, which is getting expensive. The match shirt is £47 this year with 4 sponsors and a club logo.

£47.00. I’d expect to start on 20 each week for that price.

Fortunately our 1st team whites are covered by the club but even if they weren’t they are nearly half that price.

Surely having 4 sponsors should make it cheaper for players not more expensive?

We are subsidising shirts this year, although normally don’t. SS charge £4 per image on the shirt, so club logo & 4 sponsors adds £20. I think we will be looking elsewhere when this deal is up.

They do multiple styles. Ours certainly aren’t heavy.

Can I see a picture of them yes I know Surridge well given they come from my hometown!

Not sold on any off there kit to be honest have them as out club sponsors too bought a pair of embroidered pants with the white panels and the elite vapour wick shirt not a fan.  Tracksuit decent though but bobbles too quickly.
Make good cricket bags though the old wheelie they did was great
