Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 4.0 Cricket Batting Gloves

Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 4.0 Cricket Batting Gloves

The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 4.0 Cricket Batting Gloves are designed for club cricketers who want a stronger combination of protection, comfort and feel at the crease. Finished in the classic Kahuna Green and Yellow colours, they combine Multi Flex finger and thumb protection with a High Density Foam backhand, additional bottom-hand sidebar protection and a premium leather palm.

The Multi Flex Finger Protection uses segmented sections that allow the fingers to move around the bat handle while maintaining protective coverage. This is paired with Multi Flex Thumb Protection, providing protection around another important impact area without relying on a completely rigid construction.

Protection steps up further with a High Density Foam Backhand and a One Piece Sidebar on the bottom hand. The sidebar adds coverage along the exposed side of the lower hand, an area that can be vulnerable when facing quicker bowling.

The leather palm construction provides a quality feel through the hands, while ventilation through the palm and a Breathable Airflow Mesh Gusset helps manage airflow during longer periods at the crease.

Inside the gloves, a Soft Fill Foam Lining provides additional comfort. A towelling wristband helps manage moisture around the wrist, while the secure Velcro closure allows the gloves to be fastened firmly before batting.

Who are the Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 4.0 Batting Gloves best for?

The Kookaburra Kahuna Pro 4.0 Batting Gloves are best for grade cricketers looking for a good balance of protection, comfort and bat feel. Multi Flex finger and thumb protection, High Density Foam and the additional bottom-hand sidebar make the Pro 4.0 a stronger protective option for players progressing into more competitive cricket.

What should you consider before buying?

The Kahuna Pro 4.0 provides more protective features than the lower models in the Kahuna range, including High Density Foam and a bottom-hand sidebar.

How do I choose right or left handed batting gloves?

Choose batting gloves based on whether the player bats right or left handed, not which hand they write or throw with. The additional thumb protection is positioned on the bottom hand. On the Kahuna Pro 4.0, the one-piece sidebar is also added to the bottom-hand glove for increased protection.

For a right-handed batter, the left hand sits above the right hand on the bat handle. The right hand is therefore the bottom hand, so the additional thumb and sidebar protection is positioned on the right glove.

For a left-handed batter, the right hand sits above the left hand. The left hand is therefore the bottom hand, so the additional protection is positioned on the left glove.
