Kookaburra Kahuna Pro Players Cricket Batting Gloves
The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro Players Cricket Batting Gloves are premium batting gloves designed for elite cricketers who need extensive hand protection at the crease. Predominantly White with the classic Kahuna Green and Yellow colours, they combine RFPro reinforced fibre protection, high-density foam and a premium leather palm with the Kahuna's distinctive bevelled round foam styling.
Protection is the main focus of the Kahuna Pro Players. RFPro Reinforced Fibre Protection Finger Inserts strengthen the finger protection, helping manage ball impact in an area where batters need reliable coverage.
The thumb uses Multi Flex protection with a fibre insert. This provides additional protection while retaining the segmented construction needed for the thumb to move naturally when gripping and controlling the bat.
Across the back of the hand, High Density Foam with Multi Flex Panels provides further impact protection. Sidebars add coverage along the sides of the hands, with a three-piece construction on the bottom hand and a one-piece design on the top hand.
The palm uses premium leather with airflow ventilation and a wear patch. The leather provides the contact surface between your hands and the bat handle, while the wear patch reinforces an area exposed to repeated friction during batting.
Comfort and moisture management are addressed through a soft fill foam lining, breathable airflow mesh gusset and double-sided towelling wristband. Kookaburra also recommends using batting inners, either fingerless or full finger, to absorb moisture and help extend the life of the gloves.
A premium Velcro closure is designed to reduce catching and pulling, while embossed detailing completes the premium Kahuna finish.
