Mid range glove recommendation Australia
« on: December 16, 2014, 03:58:26 AM »

Looking to spend around $60-$70 aus on a pair of gloves.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me or are all gloves the same at that price. Would like some fairly light, flexible ones but I'd guess they are all pretty light and flexible. Cheers fellas.

I use Grove cricket gear. From what I know, they are made by GN. I have a pair of the Exclusive and Limited gloves and they are fantastic. Limited gloves are $69 at GCCC. Very light and enough protection for anywhere up to intermediate level cricket.

I've always found Kook gloves the most comfortable

Bought the Kingsgrove Epic II glove - got them in RH Small Mens. They are light and very soft, but be warned small mens means small/ very small mens, and I have the hand's of a gynaecologist.

They fit my slim size 8, 5ft 4inch wife very well. Having worn SS Whiteouts and looking for something cheap to save them for best I went for The Epic II. It is my mistake because SS (makers of my favoured glove) I thought were known for being small even for standard sized men's gloves, and I bought those in standard men's size.

Given that Kingsgrove is an Aussie store, I made the mistake of assuming the standard Epic would be a genuine standard size and therefore I would need a small men's glove but the small men's is truly tiny :( I bought them online so a cheap pair of gloves has been a false economy. My fault. I know now.

Got GM 909 with Joe Root thumb protection and I am very impressed. Good value for money.

I always found the SS sausage fingers far too tight. I love the Grove limited and exclusive range because they are a roomy fit with a long Velcro strap on the wristband. I also like them because they don't have too much padding on the palm. I like to feel the handle and grip in the hands. I'm going to JPGavan gloves next summer, although I'll probably end up adding to the 3 sets of Grove gloves as well.

Are you looking to buy in Australia or looking to buy online or both?

JPGavan might be worth a shout seem to have some gloves near your price range that are looking very decent.
