The Lekka gloves and grips got a 5* rating from the boys at Wisden - top glove and grip combo!
Good price as well - got a waiting list on these so let me know if you wish to join the queue!!

Look good mate! Not sure about these pump-action helmets tho lol

Have they been wear tested as yet to see how durbable the palms are on the grip over a prolonged period as from previous experience the silicone tends to wear away after a while.

They've been used this season by a few of our players - havnt heard anything back regarding the lack of longevity with the silicone, so hopefully no it's not an issue.
I wonder who this mysterious pump action helmet company could be :D

Followed the link. 

Really nice set of gloves and the idea of the matching grip is a nice touch i think. 

Im personally not a fan of the tennis wrap styled grips but when presented this way it seems far more appealing. 

Top gloves, Top idea.

Gloves look nice, and I think that the grip is a great idea.
Where can we purchase them from? Lekka itself or an Online Store?

Yes their gloves were designed to work in conjuntion with their grip as well as they had a similar silicone style on the palms too.

Dom - those grips have got to be 10% longer, and in pretty colours if you are going to make a killing on them!

I agree master fattus - we all wish we had an extra inch or two, but sometimes you just have to make do :D
Bright colours are a possibility - though white is popular due to people not wanting stains on their gloves.......but i hear what your saying. I will make the suggestion to the R&D department!
By the way - watched Toy Story 3 last night and on came a trailer for Cats and Dogs, did i catch a glimps of the elusive Mrs.Fattus???

I would say that they are the same thickness of one spiral grip and they only weigh 1 and 1/4 oz which is light in my opinion!
