I am interested in the batting gloves with the kangaroo leather palms and was wondering if anybody know what kangaroo leather is like? Feel?

Just a softer version of calf leather hence why it's more expensive on the end product....has been used on football boots before too

The only sports gear I've had with the premium K leather were a pair of rather pricey umbro classic football boots. Got them
For Xmas one year and they were ridiculously soft and very very comfortable. The only problem was they took a lot of looking after, constant cleaning and dubbing and after a while the leather began to stiffen and crack. Once this happened it didn't take long for them to fall to bits. Rather annoying considering I took really good care of them

Same principle as any gloves with them I would think maximum comfort but not as long a product life

Is it same like Pittard palm in terms of softness or is softer than that as well ?

[tugga_5]

Thats what I was wondering. Are they similar to pittards?

i dunno lots of footie boots that are made of the leather have a fair amount of give in them!

Off topic but I hate Kangaroo leather boots, much prefer the synthetic ones like the preds. My reebok kangeroo ones are so heavy!

Way too expensive and the red design look awful!!!!

[peplow]

[Liam-SCCC]

I was on about damo's post!

[tugga_5]

Yeah I will probably end up getting those gloves. They are so expensive though!

[Damo1583]

sorry, Kahuna batting gloves are proberly the best batting glove i have ever worn, expensive though!!! the Haddin red keeping glove will undoubtably be very well make and are proberbly the mutts nuts, but they are a terrible colour and cant justify the price!!!!
