Title: Gray Nicolls Oblivion E41 Test Blackout Gloves
Post by: wayward_hayward on January 23, 2016, 03:15:27 PM

Gray Nics ran a competition between Christmas and new year on twitter and I won! The all black colour scheme will probably split opinions but I think they will look great with coloured kit.

Not owned a pair of GN gloves before but they feel pretty decent. The thumb and bottom finger protection feels good and the overall fit is on the snug side, just how I like it. The initial flexibility at the knuckles is good but the fingers are very stiff at the moment. In comparison to the SS Super Test gloves, they feel like concrete when trying to move them. Looking forward to using these in LMS next season as these will look great with our black and red kit.

Blackouts must be the new thing, whiteout gloves are so 2015!  ;)

Those black pittard palms that some of the OnlineStockist gloves had would look on point with these

Black palms would ruin my white grip only policy for my bats. Happy they are standard calf or sheep leather rather than pittards.

I did a quick search of Somerset GN players on cricinfo images but couldn't find anyone wearing a pair.
