Hi @Rich466993! 👋

Been in that situation when I started! Hopefully there will be people on here in that county? Best thing to do when it is safe, is go to a site, try it out, see if that site is for you? Rent, listen to rules, interact with players, sensible play and have fun! 🔫👍

Hi @Rich466993! 👋

Not sure about the boots, might want to check YouTube for reviews? Regarding gloves, there’s a lot of options, it depends on what you have in mind, also check online again! 🤔

Also check what’s on here....

@Rich466993yes mate excellent boots! I have had viper gear for years. Their boots are hardwearing,(last pair lasted well over a year of cqb and greenops and also on building sites)comfortable and very well made. Missus has just got me another pair for xmas. Very good value for money. She has to make me take them off before going to bed! Lol

Forgot to say mechanix gloves are pretty damn good. Protected fingers and still supple enough to be able to move👍

[Rich466993]

Brilliant , thanks Shamal! I was looking at the mechanix gloves online so that’s great to hear they are tried and tested mate 👍. Going to pull the trigger on the gloves and boots

Hi @Rich466993, welcome to the forum.

I'm not that far from you, I'm just "up the road" bordering Bilston/Wolverhampton.

What sites you looking at have a go at? Might be worth looking at West Mids FOB (they are still doing rentals, when not in lockdown).

 

Might be able to join up with you one of the days 👍

Welcome. I'm looking to get back into things when restrictions end, trying out different sites to see where I like within Shropshire!/West Mids
