[Simmy]

I've got a pair of kookaburra ricochet 750 gloves..

they have been fine up untill the last 2-3 games.

they half a calf skin palm when i get sweaty hands instead of it soaking it up or wat ever its just wet straight away and my bat slips in my hand.

ive only had the gloves since dec and maybe played 20-30 games.

they have no holes or anything they are not even warn just when they get wet they are slippery

Mine tend to last a while, had a pair of Vulcan ones which I used for games and nets since mid last year, and now use them as net gloves. Not noticed the bat slipping in my hands with them, maybe it's the palm material? Mine are pittards, and ever since the Vulcans, I have never really felt comfortable in calf skin leather gloves. I find the palms get a little moisture absorbed in them, but never much to feel like my hands are soaking.

My team mate lightly sandpapers the palm's of his gloves when they get a bit shiny, works well

If you cam afford to Its best to buy two pairs of gloves and rotate them, you get a lot longer life out of them

3 months at best mine

30 games sounds about right if you have really sweaty hands. Inners will save you a fortune on new gloves, or buy a couple of new pairs and keep rotating them as GarrettJ says.

[Colesy]

Mine never wear out, I just buy new ones. If I used one pair then they'd probably last 3 or 4 seasons at 35+ games a year. I just don't sweat at all.

[Simmy]

I'll bring out the vulcans

[Gcricket]

It depends if you are wearing inners or not. Mine get too sweaty and then the material breaks but ive started using inners!

spot on.

I have 4 pairs myself but then I net loads etc but do just rotate them. Hopefully meaning they will last till march 2014

I usually have 2-3 pairs of gloves at a time.
I always use the newest pair in games only to begin with as they're the 'best' and 'special' pair but after a while I just rotate them and sometime it's just whatever pair I grab out of the bag...
In terms of use I usually go through two/three pairs a season but I do play at least twice a week and net at least once a week, I sweat a lot so that may explain the number of gloves I go through a season...

[Vulcan Cricket]

depends on how much they get used you all old run machine simmy . my old match kit becomes my net kit so keeps all my match kit in better shape but i do use my match pads gloves in nets for frist few session just so it feels right

[SOULMAN1012]

I am on my 2nd set of gloves of the season and same as you Simmy calf palms I personally don't think last much more then half a season after winter nets etc.

Pittard palm gloves normally last me a full season though.

[Nickauger]

Mine last for ages but that's cos I dont bat long enough lol

[zawarrior]

Normally gloves last for half a season if you have a good season before they lose grip depending on how you bat and what grip you use
