I've only just started wearing inners for batting and am slowly getting used to them. I tried full finger inners but felt uncomfortable so ive gone for the GN fingerless type.
Who else uses inners?
Any brand recommendations? as the GN fingerless dont last more than a couple of wears.
-
Slazenger!
They still don't last ages, but at £2 a pair (or if, like me, you're blessed with small hands, £1.50 for youths) you dont mind so much.

Always worn full finger Inners, haven't tried the fingerless so can't comment. Moved over to Puma this season (Just bought a load of Puma kit and like everything to match, OCD) but had a spare pair of GN left over which I'm using up before using the Puma's. Agreed on the longevity of the GN Inners, only last about 5-6 matches before you feel they need changing. Always buy my Inners post-season so get them for a few quid a pair, so not too bothered. Will let you know about the Puma Inners when I get a chance to wear them.
Does anyone wash their Inners after each use? Might make them last longer?
-
I put mine in the was when they either go yellow or strart to smell haha
Doing it every week is more likely to shorten their lifespan than increase it, surely?

May well do, the GN aren't the best made inners, suppose they don't need to be if they are seen as being disposable. I just wear mine until they disintegrate!
-
Surely washing them with loads of fabric softener will help them last longer? After all they are cotton?

I went on eBay and bought about 12 pairs of simple cotton white gloves for less than £5. Nothin special but do the job for me...once they get gross il chuck them at that price

2nd this. The hunts one last long and are quite comfortable too
-
I use Kookaburra fingerless ones, which are pretty crap. One thing that makes them last longer for me is buying youths ones, even though I have massive hands it means when they stretch out they stay usable so last a few months rather than a few games.

What are the advantages for having inner gloves? Can't say I've seen anyone bar maybe one or two wear them at our club

They absorb the sweat from your hands that would otherwise go directly onto the leather palm of you batting gloves.
I've pretty much always batted with inners, so for me it's a comfort thing as well as helping your gloves last longer

I wish I could bat for long enough that my hands would start to sweat!!!

I have used puma and G&M before, I washed them every now and again. I normally do an hour batting v a bowling machine each week and play one 46 over match each week with the occasional T20. This season I got some GN inners as I love their other stuff. They have a lot more material on the back of the hand which I find helps them last a bit longer before they are saturated. I've used them for about 10 weeks now and they are still in good shape. I do try to dry them immediately after using them, not washed them yet but they will be due soon.

Since I used fingerless my gloves last longer in games and also their general lifespan is extended.
-
I've used both fingerless and full finger inners. I personally prefer full finger but if your looking for fingerless inners then I would recommend the Salix inners as they were very comfortable.
More recently I've started using Puma full finger inners and they are actually really nice, I may try the Gray Nicolls ones at one point.
-
There probably isn't a great deal difference between them all. As they are fairly cheap you might as well buy one of each brand if you are going to use them for the foreseeable future.
-
to be honest i would prefer not to wear inners at all, but with the climate here I find I go through gloves like there's no tomorrow.
I have find the fingerless GN the best and I have tried many.
-
I hadn't worn inners for years, did and scored 147, never worn them since.... Strange eh?!
-
I've worn them for a few seasons then tried without when I was pretend batting for a wicket keeper in nets and it felt so weird, I didn't like it at all.

mate if I had done that, I would have to wear inners everytime I batted, darn superstitions

2 grips and fingerless inners.... Might have to go back to that
-
Since I've started wearing inners I've had all my best batting innings too even if some of them were at 11 just having fun

Just sorry of your 150, jug avoidance?

Annoyingly I spent 5 overs trying to get out to give others a go! Had I have bated properly who knows that I'd have got
And i didn't go in till the 9th over of a 40 over game
-

Think that's my issue too, think the longest I have lasted is five overs haha
-
I wear fingerless ones, and have done for as long as I can remember, tried batting without them just to see but it felt all wrong. Does mean I get a long time out of my gloves though, whether that's a good or a bad thing is open to debate on here!

At one point last season I was in a rush to pad up and couldn't find two different handed inners, so just turned one of them inside out to fit the other hand. Scored runs, ended up doing that deliberately for the next month until I persuaded myself it was stupid... although come to think of it I stopped scoring after I changed back to normal :o

I have two pairs of inner gloves that I wash sporadically. Both pairs are over two years old and I certainly don't feel I need new ones because they are worn out. The only reason I have two pairs is because I like to play both Saturday and Sunday cricket and being pretty out of shape and particularly hairy I get very sweaty, so I have a second pair for the Sunday so I don't have to put on the damp pair from the Saturday. Same with my socks and whites.
How are people blasting through inner gloves in 5-6 games?
-
I have about 7-8 pairs in my bag at anyone time, all different makes, the fall of a wicket usually leaves me scrambling to find one for each hand, never been fussed if they match. Have had most pairs of 3-4 years at least and the only one's I've had to throw out have been where the elastic has given up the ghost.
