Sheep leather palm, split thumb with fibre protection, mesh back. Junior through adult, right and left hand.

Instead of traditional sausage rolls, every finger on both hands carries a rounded moulded insert. You keep full-length coverage but lose a lot of the bulk, and the glove flexes where your fingers do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho these gloves suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood fit for:\u003c\/strong\u003e white-ball and T20 batting, players who bat with quick hands and want to feel the handle, and anyone who has tried traditional roll gloves and found them clumsy.
