As the title suggests, who does ?
-
I would say that is quite a subjective question. One persons comfort could be the next persons uncomfort.
-
I've probably only experienced about 5% of the available market so can hardly make a comment on all, but of the ones I've tried Puma comes out on top.
-
I'd suggest it's likely to be SG...
-
I have a pair of e41 500, and to me they are much more comfy than my Kookaburra ones....
-
I think Tim's point is that SG make the gloves for all the big 5 firms.
-
Are there any gloves that are not made on the sub continent?
-
My SAF gloves are very comfortable and the thumb towelling is very functional.
However from experience the Ayrtek gloves have more flexibility which for me helps with the comfort factor.
-
I've used Hawk for the last couple of years and they are the comfiest gloves I have ever used. Hope my new SAF's are as good, sure they will be as they are split finger and look the same design
-
The Ayrtek Elites are incredibly comfortable, and although I've only worn them once I'm really impressed with the M&H Distinctions.
-
The ayrtek elite black gloves. First time I put them on I liked them. Wasn't too keen on them after the first time I batted in them, but now I've used them and they've kind of moulded to fit my hands, I hardly notice I'm wearing them! Really comfy gloves!
-
To me it seems the "minnow" brands make good gloves these days.
Do SG make all of the brands glOves ? Seems a bit weird to me.
Has anyone had experience with mongoose gloves ?
-
Ayrtek, Puma and Kookaburra for me
-
with out a doubt ayrtek then id go with puma
-

who made your oven gloves simmy? how comfortable were they?
-
Ayrtek, SAF, Salix for me.
-
Ayrtek elite or kook blade 950 of the ones I've used, but I have high hopes for my newbery sps 2 and thruxton gloves that I'll be using this season.
-
got to say I tried a pair of Ayrtek elite and it was like I wasnt wearing any gloves! Great feel.
-
I have no idea as I've not warn all the different types. From the ones I have owned the leaders would be 2012's Kookaburra Kahuna 1000 gloves. High hopes for Bluerooms though when I get them all in Feb.

Never heard if blue room before, can somebody give me a link to it ?

What does the 'being watched' icon mean underneath the name.
-
People trying to rush their way to 50 posts?
-
Used some arytek last season they were very comfy, have some Vulcan ones for this season which so far in preseason have been great
-
i have a pair of gn predator 4 star that i got about 2008/2009 they are unbelievably comfy!!
-
Puma or Newbery for me
-
M&H Distinction batting gloves are so comfy! first pair I haven't work inners with. Fit like a glove :D
-
Ayrtek are very, very good. My BlankBat split gloves are on par as they're long enough for my fingers but snug enough on the palm to give a real feel of the handle.
-
uzi sports green mamba
-
Slazenger ultimates are very comfy.
SS Max Powers are lovely gloves.
I agree with the Blade 950 comment above, we have a couple of pairs on sale in our sale topic.
I wear Powerbow players, slowly adopting 2013 legends, but powerbows are putting up a fight!
-
So aren't the Arytek ones made by the same company as a shed load of other brands gloves?? In which case it's completely pointless rating them as they are the same 'make', just stickered up differently. Bit like comparing brands of bats when actually all the companies have done is label them up.

This argument could be made about a number of brands soft gear.
On the flipside, even if 2 or 3 brands may share the same factory/manufacturer, the products/specs that each of the brands specify may well be different.

I think you'll find our gloves use a unique design that makes them a little different to the other types of gloves that combines flexibility with protection to avoid having any exposed finger joints when gripping the bat.
-
I haven't found any uncomfortable pair of gloves as of yet apart from the entry level Slazenger gloves from Sports Direct when I first started playing. Most Brands are of similar comfort with varying levels of protection. Split gloves are a bit more comfier than sausage type. Ayrtek ones feel like you are hardly wearing them along with the right amount of protection.
-
Ayrteks are out of this world, my split finger vulcans are very good also
-
Sareen sports
-
After trying on every pair in globe sports a few years back, the pumas felt the comfiest and I have stuck with them since.

Bringing in the Haymaker!
Got to say I dont think I have seen any with the Ayrtek design, there are some similarities around the fingers. But still its all about the Ayrtek elite (in green).
-
I would have to say my e41 750's are very comfy, however, I have tried on a few puma gloves which are very comfy as well. Can't decide. ;)
-
SAF are the nuts :)
-
ayrtek are the most comftable gloves ive used

they might be made by other brands but ayrtek designed that split finger diamond shape thing...and it was very very good!
now the manufacture seems to sell that out to other company as there own

BlankBats
-
Mongoose gloves are very comfy, lovely soft palms and mould to your hand nicely.
Sweated through them in 6 months so they're rather crusty now. But for 6 months they were tip top!
-
In love with BAS gloves.
Size feel and fit works for me.
-
I would have to go with the Salix Pod PRO'S, comfy little sausages !
-
Just gonna chuck this out there. Have a pair of SG Dazzler gloves from a couple of years ago, the sheepskin palms are unbelievably comfortable. I don't think there are many manufacturers who use sheepskin palms, but they are so good on your hands.
-
Thinsulate are comfy this time of year.
-
I use GM, but Puma's are pretty nice too. Boom Boom do a pair that are trimmed in light blue that are VERY comfortable too, not sure if they've continued with them this season though.
-
fc sondi make decent gloves!
-
I'd say that SG Gloves are probably the most comfortable, whosoever's label is on them...
-
Champ
-
From my personal experience my Newbery Thruxton gloves are unbelievably comfortable!
-
My Bulldogs are very comfy, and I believe that they are not nade by one of the big 3 in India/Pakistan. I believe that they are made in the UK.
-
Would love to hear of the company who make In the uk. Do you mean pittards the leather manufacturer who are based in Somerset?
-
I don't think so mate, might be worth speaking to Kieron. I think he said he got them from a small English company who made them in small quantities..... (I THINK)
-
Salix Pods - great!
-
Warsop venoms. Beauts.
-
my lorimers, but my warsop venoms were my ultimate faves! itias also made a comfy glove!

-
personally the older SG Hilites are the best I have used. very soft and very comfortable. have the new ones with pittards but for me these were softer (palms) and better

I have NEWBERY COUNTY CRICKET BATTING GLOVES
Just £25 and they are really comfortable , more than enough protection for the level I play .
-
I've a pair of the all white Newbery SPS gloves, bought second hand from this fair place, they are like gloves. So comfy.
The Willostix I got from paul @IJC have a great 'new glove' feel. I hope they wear as well as the Newberys
-
SS Gloves are really nice. I think the last pair I bought was something like 30-35 AUD after conversion, so not too dear either, plus it was their top of the line model.
-
I got a pair of SS Gladiators. Comfiest gloves I've ever used! Trumps the Puma Ballistic 5000. Not for people with sweaty palms though.
You can get them for as cheap as 15 pounds in India. So, if you lads ever travel here pick em up...
-
Seperate question, I didn't want to start a new thread for.
I have the millichamp and hall distinction gloves, they fit well without inbred apart from the wrist where they are lose or I have to strap the Velcro so it ends up with a flap.
Anyone else have this problem?
-
Tried on Ayrtek ones belonging to a mate and they were the nicest gloves ever and Ive used alot of gloves from alot of brands
