i had the wr100x this year

[FirstSlip]

Pittards every day for me.  My hands sweat a lot and I found I lost grip with sheepskin much more than with Pittards. Sheepskin palms would go shiny and slippery after a dozen or so innings.  I also prefer a thin palm to give a better feel of the bat.  I currently use Kookaburra Kahuna 1000s and before that Albion Elites.

The Kook Kangaroo palm is very good (apropo Kahuna players gloves)

Very comfy and durable.

Do the people that think sheepskin is too slippery and sweaty use batting inners? If not, I think this may help.  Also, a good quality sheepskin glove + batting inners usually comes out cheaper than pittards gloves alone...

I hate using inners for batting, feels horrible so that's not an option for me hence the pittards preference

2 pairs of quality sheepskin does the trick, will alos prolong the life of them if you swop after 20 overs.

Likewise.  Too thick and can't feel bat.
Incidentally I seem to recall from Don Bradman's book ("The Art of Cricket" I think) that his preference was for open (i.e. no) palms - he felt that gave him the best feel on the bat handle.  Mind you, I guess they only had the smooth grips in those days and some of the modern patterns would probably rip your hands to shreds.

I have 2 pairs of Pittard match gloves and swap them at the drinks break (assuming I last that long!)

WRX100 is the treatment on the pittards, there in the Cougar plans like on Vulcan, Newbery SPS, new Ayrtek Elite. And amourtan like on the GM LE, I believe both also hold the Wrx100 tag

i hate wearing inner gloves to  so at this time pittards seems they way but ill let run for a week or so. good feedback lads

[Watsontotty]

In my opinion gloves should be made in both types of palms sheep skin and pittards that way the customer can chose which they prefer and the manufacture/brand is not then loosing out on any sales.

Not sure anyone does this yet but i cant see why ?

[Vulcan Cricket]

I think its cost and when being made and the hassle to manufactuer 

[Watsontotty]

Well in my limited experience i don't see who a manufacture would say its a hassle and if they did i wouldnt be using them again, lets say you were to order 50 pairs of Pittards and 50 pairs of sheepskin i don't see its a hassle to do and i spent 10 years as a manager in a manufacturing company and the customer always got what they want.

You may pay more for the pittards leather which is simply reflected in what the customer pays for the gloves same goes for the sheepskin, but you then have something which every potential customer wants as a lot have said pittards and a lot want sheepskin and just makes sense to me.

i know some companys have one style of glove  with one plan and 2nd style with other plam i can see were your comeing from thow
