Title: Best Youth Gloves on the market...
Post by: Marcussjd9 on April 04, 2010, 01:46:04 PM: A request on behalf of a friend, he was quite small hands so is interested in some junior wicket keeping gloves.
Some of you who have read this year's Good Gear Guid might be able to help with this one, so any repsonses would be more than welcome!
Apparently the Puma Evolution 4000s or GN Xiphos are two of the better models out there.
Can anybody shed any light on this?

Post by: Coach on April 04, 2010, 03:52:44 PM: i would suggest getting mens gloves due to the fact that his hands will still be growing this will enable him to keep the same pair of gloves for much longer and in the long term increase the suppleness, also would agree with Dan re kookaburra

Had a customer with small hands buy some off of us and has asked for a 2nd pair as we use the same materials in youth as adult gloves as this problem pops up every now and then which was why we offered Yth, S, M, L and XL sizes so it caters for a larger size range in gloves.
