Hello guys

Depends on what you really need for the job you are doing and of course what you're paying. If as the post suggests you are doing DS work I would recommend some slash proof gloves though steer clear from the gucci cool ones you see for around £40. You should be able to get a pair for not much more than £10. The pants again shouldn't be more than about £15 from somewhere like eBay. As for the boots, you can't go far wrong with magnums tho consider Pro-boots. As they're a damn site warmer and more weather proof.

Gotta say no to that

...the magnums part that is :)

Got myself a pair of their enforcers, they havnt been out very long, pick them up for about £100 average. Comfort is 10/10, warm 10/10 composite toe fire proof water proof nail proof during the lovely snow we had recently - i walked on sheet ice with them

I love them..! :D



Anyway

Maglites, always go LED, 2AA is alright for searching bags etc, but if your a night guard - get like a 3D one

Depends what you want - Kevlar has a 5 year shelf life, so for slash proof i would say go for CuttexPro, no shelf life, impenetrable - combat knives dont even get through..!! These can cost a few quid though. Check out Nitton999 on their protective gloves range.
also on the gloves - consider if they have knuckle padding. Theres two types, sand or foamy like stuff. Sand i find bulges a bit too much, not really pleasing to the eyes - which means people stare if you wear them on the tube somewhere...

Surefire torches all the way, why settle for second best.

as to whether they are the 'best' thats a matter of personal opinion ;),

i have a couple of surefires and dont get me wrong they are good, but are way over priced and generate alot of heat for the light they put out,

OP, get yourself a LED lenser, nice and bright, not expensive, and if all else fails you can steal the TV remote batteries to get you by.....

Go old skool
Pair dunlop wellys
A lamp and canary
Nitted pair of mits

Lol im joking bud its a surefire torch,Lowas boots and turtle gloves
 
Have to agree with Wingnut and James about Surefire but look at Superfire. They are quite a bit cheaper and use the same bulbs

Led lenser or Fenix every time must agree i got the fenix ld2 new version grae kit with strobe on board great to disorientate if you get stuck to get outa the way.
