Started wearing fingerless inners a couple of seasons ago, purely for sweat absorption! Managed to pick up a whole bunch of kookaburra and sommers pairs on the cheap off eBay.

Swear by fingerless inners. I don't like the full-fingered ones because you lose the "feel" in the fingers, and given that the palms of the hands sweat and not the fingers, it makes perfect sense. I hate when gloves get crusty from perspiration, I know a guy at my club who pours water on the palms before he bats, which I find very strange...

It's not a concept I've tried tbh. Once, up here in sunny scotland my fingers went numb with the cold while batting in a Saturday match in May. Happened a few times since so inners may be an idea!

I go through phases of wearing them then not wearing them, I think it depends on the feel of my gloves and handle.  All about what feels best for you to be honest

I like fingerless inners personally as they offer a bit more of a spongey feel! However, when using gloves with pittard palms I dont feel i need inners

Pittards palms seem to have a 'spongier' feel. I can't bat with inners and always use Pittards gloves. Seem to soak up the sweat better as well. Only downside is the cost!

Tried inners and it felt like my hand was turning/sliding around inside my gloves. I'm probably the only person that dislikes pittards, feel very thin. I tend to buy 2 pairs of identical gloves and rotate from match to match and use an old pair if I go to nets

I dislike using inners however I'm gonna try and get used to fingerless inners because my gloves are always minging and crusty  halfway into a season...so if it will keep the cost down and give me more use out of my gloves it can only be a positive!

I've got an old pair of GN full fingered ones. They're pretty thin but give a nice snugness to my gloves. No real issues with lack of feel or slipping around in the gloves but they don't really hold that much sweat. Would probably need to change them every 20-30 mins on a hot sweaty day ( that's if I ever bat that long  :-[)

Who else wears inners? What sort? What's your pros and cons?

Cotton ones, black, from VKS.

Look cool, keep gloves dry, cheap to replace.  No brainer.
