New Balance Heritage 1000 Max Cricket Batting Gloves
The New Balance Heritage 1000 Max Cricket Batting Gloves are protective cricket batting gloves built for players who value classic feel with added finger protection. They suit club cricketers, school players and serious juniors facing regular pace bowling. Designed for use in hard ball cricket, they offer dependable coverage at the crease without sacrificing comfort.
If you’re taking on quicker bowlers or spending long periods batting, these gloves give you extra protection where it counts most, especially on the lead hand.
Protection Where You Need It
The Heritage 1000 Max focuses on reinforcing the two lead fingers, the area most exposed when you’re driving or defending. Plastic inserts and additional plastic shields across two lead finger panels help absorb impact from rising deliveries and inside edges.
That extra structure makes a difference against medium to fast bowling, particularly on harder New Zealand wickets where bounce can be unpredictable.
Lightweight Feel, Traditional Look
PU finger rolls keep the gloves light and flexible while still providing solid coverage. You get freedom through the hands for shot control without the bulky feel some higher level gloves can have.
The Heritage design keeps things traditional in appearance, but the internal protection is built for modern match demands.
