Title: Keeping gloves for occasional wicket keeping?
Post by: mini998 on April 07, 2015, 09:05:51 AM

Hello all,

Looking for pair of gloves for occasional wicket keeping , Since it's going to be once in a while I don't what to spend too much on it but then again I don't want to be saving 10-20 quids if the quality it so much inferior and it can lead to drop catches etc.

I'm looking for £60 or below, Is there much difference in Newbery tour vs SPS keeping loves apart from longevity?

Any other affordable keeping gloves you can recommend?

For £60 and below pretty much the world is your oyster.  Very few pairs cost more than this.

Like bats, it often comes down to preference and how they make you feel when you have them on.

Grey Nicolls Prestige.  Anything Kookaburra or Gunn and Moore.  You wont go wrong.  If you can afford M&H gloves (e.g. sales etc) id pump for them from my experience.

@mini998 plenty of options within that budget. The new B&S GP274 gloves are £60 and are fantastic, same manufacturer as the M&H ones and incredible value for money.

For a little bit less, as already mentioned the Prestige gloves are great too.
