Title: Batting gloves and hand cream
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on August 08, 2015, 08:51:48 AM
Morning all

I recently bought myself a pair of gloves on eBay, and found the palms were slightly crunchy.
Because of this I haven't used them, but did keep hold of them for an "emergency".

Being the idiot I am, I had was told by a teammate to put hand cream on the palm of my gloves to keep them in decent condition longer. As I had nothing to lose, "as they were my "lend them out gloves", I gave it a go and to my surprise it worked!

I know this is blasphemy on this forum, but I thought some people might appreciate the tip to prolong the life of their kit, rather than having to replace it...  :-[

Outside the palms seems to have done the job, will try and get some inside if they're still crunchy but they seemed to be okay on first inspection.
I just hope they're not slippery now as I don't want to send a bat flying...  :-[

Would imagine its no different to nourishing the leather on your car seats.
