Gunn & Moore Noir Original Batting Gloves

GM Noir Original Cricket Batting Gloves

The GM Noir Original Cricket Batting Gloves are premium protective gloves for cricketers who want high levels of hand protection without sacrificing grip, flexibility or feel on the bat. They combine an exceptionally soft leather palm with HD foam and fibre protection, targeted bottom hand coverage and an articulated construction designed to move naturally with the hands at the crease.

The Noir Original uses an exceptionally soft leather palm for a premium level on comfort when holding the bat, while a dedicated palm wear patch reinforces high wear areas where repeated contact with the bat handle can place additional stress on the leather.

Across the fingers, the Noir Original combines HD foam and fibre finger rolls with offset finger splits. The offset construction is designed to reduce knuckle exposure while still allowing the fingers to flex naturally around the bat handle.

The back of the hand uses HD foam with plastic fibre fill for impact protection. This sits beneath a Pro PU multi section construction, allowing the protective sections to move with the hand as you grip the bat and adjust through different shots.

The Noir Original adds side bar padding around the index finger on the bottom hand, providing additional coverage to an exposed area when batting.

There is also dedicated thumb tip protection, while the two piece thumb design maintains the flexibility needed to wrap the hands comfortably around the handle.

Inside the glove, Soft Fill comfort lining provides a softer feel against the hands during longer periods at the crease. A double sided sweatband is designed for maximum sweat absorption, helping manage moisture as an innings or training session progresses.

Who are the GM Noir Original Batting Gloves best for?

The GM Noir Original is best suited to cricketers looking for a highly protective batting glove with a premium leather palm and a strong emphasis on flexibility and feel.

The combination of HD foam, fibre protection, offset finger splits, bottom hand side bar padding and thumb tip protection makes it particularly relevant for batters who place a high priority on hand protection while still wanting natural movement around the bat handle.
