Just having a quick thought on a boring Monday night, before Inbetweeners of course!
but many of the features i look for in a pair of batting gloves are more associated with the bottom end gloves instead of the top of the range ones
the low range gloves are generally lightweight and flexible where as the focus of the top of the range ones are more focussed on protection possibly at the slight expense of comfort.
Any thoughts?

what features do u look for as your first priority? Price or comfort?

puma 5000's, light and protective. Also incredibly comfortable.
the top of the range kooks are a bit weighty.
You can get top of the range gloves that are light comfy and protective.

I love that song :)
I'd want the best comfort and suitable protection for my budget, which is around £25
-
I'd want good protection over comfort tbh, but both is obviously nice, does anyone know if these are any good, and genuine? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Newbery-SPS2-Camo-Cricket-Gloves-/330476683562 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Newbery-SPS2-Camo-Cricket-Gloves-/330476683562)

Newbery are the seller so you'd hope they'd be genuine.

oh, i didnt realise they were, thanks, they seem pretty cheap so was just wondering

Yeah, flogging off excess stock to make way for next season stuff I'd guess. Bargins to be had if you're not too fussy.
-
I'm not too fussy, so definitely time for a bargain.
-
im not overly worried about 'test match protection' since im not a test match player and i dont face test match bowlers very often. Currently own gm original le's and sometimes wonder what the point is! Next gloves will be low range me thinks!
-
Got some bargain lekka gloves going guys... seem like good protection and flexible, like puma gloves of years gone by :)
-
All I would say is that I broke fingers fairly regularly when I was a youngster, and haven't got even close to breaking one since I have been back in the game, so modern, protective gloves for me every day of the week.
-
I have modern well padded gloves, but they are also very comfortable,
Past two sets of gloves have been,
Redback & M&H Both very comfy and great protection.
-
i have used the SG hilites for the last 5 years and they have been very comfy as well as lightweight and flexible. also i think they offer test level protection (although that is not something that i look for. at my level, more interested in the palm and flexibility)
-
I've normally gone for cheap and nasty in the past but bought the bargain newbery softs off ebay! Will have to make my decision when I've received them!

Did you get both pads and gloves?you won't be disappointed :)
-
Yes both sps 1's! Hope they're not too small!!!!
-
I'd go top of the range if you can keep your gloves in good nick. I used to get gloves every season and now i realise that wearing inners actually does help.

Those Newbery SPS1s off ebay are fantastic. Got myself a pair. They really are a bargain.

Indeed, after trying mine on I don't think I could go back to a pair without pittards, they're just so comfortable to wear.

i made this topic not really bearing price in mind - not to do with money at all.
just wondering what people think about the point i raised earlier, i.e. the low end gloves seem to be more light and flexible but with less protection - would you rather that or have the 'test match protection' possibly at the expense of a little comfort/freedom
-
I think there is 3 rough groups, i agree the low end one are usually pretty flexible and light due to less padding, i then think there is a group in the middle where padding is added without much though making them heavier and less flexible, however i then think there is a top band, the "test match protection" where they have been designed well so that a large amount of padding is still light (in most cases) and very flexible like the low end ones, like the newbery's people have bought on here. Whether you feel its worth spending that much more for it is up to us individually, but i know the people's who have just bought the newbery's off ebay wont go cheap and nasty again!

who was seller, cant seem to see anymore on ebay for sale ?
-
I agree low end gloves are light and comfortable but they are less protective. I once had GN Powerbow 3* and got hit by a 75 mph and seriously it had hurt when it struck me.
There are some top end gloves which are light. I believe the split gloves are usually light with test level protection. I have Ihsan Inferno 950 and they are very light and are comfortable as well
-

I don't remember. They had all sold out about a month ago.
-
The seller was worldpavillion or something. They sold out of sps 1 gloves. Ut had the pads and other gloves left I think

could do with a pair left hand if anyone knows of some
-
None left handed and no bargains going otherwise i'd have snapped them up ;)
