Kookabura £150 gloves
« on: September 21, 2010, 07:00:57 PM »
People keep talking about how kook are releasing some expensive gloves next year... Anyone got any ideas why these are going to be so expensive?

Wonder if these are them?

I assume the palms are superglue based to assure no drops, otherwise for £150 they aren't worth it......

They're so light and about 10ft wide with flypaper palms. Don't edge it if you're a batsman

Not sure whats special about them but Tim Paine gave a pair out when he was down Derby with Aus, I'm not a keeper but have a done it occasionally and these gloves felt nice!

Tried these gloves on a few weeks back when the kook rep was in very nice and worth the money, nice to see kookaburra making a descent range of keeping gear!

Made from Kangaroo Scrotum. Don't get much leather per Kangaroo and they are designed for keeping hold of balls.
