Title: Pittard's sweating
Post by: fromthehip on May 03, 2014, 07:51:00 PM: Used pittard palmed gloves today really noticed sweating on palms
Now today wasn't the warmest so in the warmer weather this may cause a problem
Has anyone else had this problem......
I suppose I could wear inners but I am not a fan

I will only use pittards leather gloves, just because I've found they don't slip?
I've had Slazenger in the past, now I have some affinitys , these have all been fine

What make are yours? I had some pumas once, and they were like a bar of soap?

Post by: Northern monkey on May 03, 2014, 08:30:20 PM: Ah right, my apologies
I've used pittards that long now, I wouldn't know what non Pitts played like

Have you spoken to the glove seller?
Maybe some of the retailers on here could advise?

I also find that the black pittard palms make my hands sweat more ???
