Kookaburra Ghost Pro 4.0 Slim Fit Cricket Batting Gloves
The Kookaburra Ghost Pro 4.0 Slim Fit Cricket Batting Gloves are designed specifically for cricketers with smaller hands who find conventional adult batting gloves too bulky. Combining Small Adult length with a slimmer fit, square foam styling and an elasticated gusset, they provide a more secure feel around the hand while retaining the protection and premium leather palm expected from the Ghost Pro 4.0.
The Slim Fit construction is the key difference with this model. Rather than simply shortening the glove, Kookaburra has designed it around smaller hands, using Small Adult length with a slimmer overall fit. This helps reduce excess space and bulk, giving players a closer connection to the bat handle.
Square Foam Styling with Multi Flex Finger Protection provides protective coverage while allowing the fingers to flex around the handle. Compared with the traditional sausage styling of the standard Ghost Pro 4.0, the square foam construction also gives this Slim Fit version its own distinctive protective profile.
The thumb uses Multi Flex Thumb Protection, while a High Density Foam Backhand provides additional impact protection across the hand. A One Piece Sidebar on the bottom hand adds coverage along the more exposed lower hand when facing the bowler.
A Premium Leather Palm with Airflow Ventilation provides the main contact surface against the bat handle. The leather construction supports feel and control, while ventilation through the palm helps manage heat during longer periods at the crease.
An elasticated gusset contributes to the Slim Fit design by helping the glove sit securely around smaller hands. This works alongside the soft fill foam lining, breathable airflow construction, towelling wristband and secure Velcro closure to balance comfort with a close, controlled fit.
