Ask the Sri Lankans what they need in a glove

Out of interest D30 used by GM, just a gimmick or does it really serve a purpose?

For me its a comfort thing rather than protection, and having just ordered some Ayrtek Elite gloves i hope my problem will be sorted. As for looking cool thats just a bit pouncy for me all the gear and no idea sort of thing

I posted these pics in the Your Kit area, but in terms of style/substance, I reckon these are right up there, GN XXX Hand Crafted range from Meulemans in Perth.

Nice! I love simple glove design. The new GM Le's look almost perfect, but I bought the SAF gloves and have to say, the simple design, protection and materials seem spot on for me.

It's protection and comfort for me any day of the week, but I'll be be picky on how they look as well.  The Ayrtek Elites are absolutely awesome, but I've also been a big fan of the M&H Distinctions as well after using a teammates last season.

Good product but they only use it in a small section of the fingers due to the price of it as a raw material. We were introduced to d3o back in 2005 when CCC were considering using it in rugby/cricket products.

It's also not the lightest of materials when using it in any larger sizes.

I remember from my time in America, that D30 was used all through baseball. You could get catching or fielding gloves and also they had "heart protectors" Although im not sure there has been many fatalities, they might actually be a good introduction to the Cricket game!
