Title: New Gloves 2017 - what do you think?
Post by: The Doctor on July 23, 2016, 10:17:28 AM
We sold out of our 2016 gloves so have brought out our 2017 range early for the remainder of the season, here's a sneak peak at the range.

We have kept the same look with just a minor cosmetic tweak, but still focussing on quality and protection using our 25 yr plus knowledge of softs to produce test quality gear at a competitive price.

PRO - LIGHT (£50.00)

300grams


PRO (£50.00)

380grams

We are now in the design stage for 2018 and wanted to know your thoughts on Pittard palms - we avoided to use them this fair due to a love/hate relationship among people we have surveyed but might introduce to one glove for 2018 - look forward to your opinions/thoughts and even ideas?? ;-)

I like the black better than the silver but would prefer more white :)

They look decent!! Have you got any plans on releasing a take down model in your batting pads? £90 is a bit excessive when you're only facing 70mph trundlers!!

Maybe you'll be happy with our 2018 range ;-)

Really great look streaky, just keep producing the sausage finger gloves, they're becoming like collectors items!

I like how the prices haven't increased but im not sure if there is too much grey in the split finger design, I can't make my mind up.

Love the colour scheme, with regards to pittard palms I think it's a good idea always last longer than leather palms

Loving the black more and more! Would love to see pittards palms, but the current plans are equally as good in my opinion. And would love to see a little more detailing on the pads for 2018😉

Any chance of carrying the graphite colour scheme to the B3 logo so all colours match?

Still waiting for some colour in them.

No pittards for me.

Top looking gloves,really love the split fingers, are you really going to make us wait until 2018 for the plain white ones ?

I've had a couple of pairs of Pittards.

The first, Puma SE from 14/15 had a palm finished in a mesh and whilst it was good, it started to fray and wear quite quickly.

My second, this years Kookaburra Onyx have a much smoother finish and feel great and are wearing ridiculously well.

Given this, I'd probably be in for a pair.

You want the best of both worlds comfort and longevity, I love pittard  sand think they last and feel a hell of a lot better than regular palms

i think both pairs look fantastic. i have only used pittards for the last couple of season. i really like the feel of them but also dont notice that much difference when i use my non pittards gloves although i do bat with inners so not sure how much difference this makes to the feel

Pittards all the way for me.

What would be the chances of a towelled 'sweat thumb'?

Both sets look quality.

What do people think about kangaroo leather? I reckon they're flexible enough while being tougher. They have a harder life than your average sheep/calf I would have thought.

You might get the odd 'oh poor skippy' but over there they feed them bullbars.

This is a great idea actually, can imagine such a small area would get saturated fairly quickly

Are the sausage gloves similar to the GN Prestige (look very similar on the split) - looking very good!

2018 will see a new glove with a pittard palm.

Will they be released earlier than 2018? Can't wait   ;)

Sound good I wouldn't buy anything else, I hate sheepskin, those awful black or crisscross pittards.

It's all about cougar pittards.

Please say you will be doing an all white pair ???

I think they look too much like the SS 2016 range to me.

I would love to see the gloves follow the pads and be all white with the black B3 on them or whiteouts as previously mentioned.

Pittards v Calf Leather - Pittards offer better grip/performance IMHO but calf leather is very comfortable and have the thicker, quality feel. If I were a retailer, not that B3 or other retailers would do this, but I would always go with leather over pittards as a good batsman will need, at least, 2 pairs! ;)
