GM 202 Cricket Batting Gloves
The GM 202 Cricket Batting Gloves are entry level batting gloves designed for young cricketers and players getting started in the game. Available in Youth, Junior, Small Junior and XS Junior sizes, they combine raw cotton protection with a breathable cotton palm, reinforced leather wear patch and flexible two piece thumb to provide the essential protection and comfort developing batters need at the crease.
The GM 202 uses raw cotton filling across the back of the hand and raw cotton finger rolls to provide impact resistance and coverage. It is a straightforward protective construction aimed at players learning the game rather than adding unnecessary complexity to a junior batting glove.
A durable PVC back of hand provides additional structure and protection around the hand, making the 202 a practical option for regular junior cricket.
Rather than using a full leather palm, the GM 202 features a breathable cotton palm designed to provide ventilation and grip on the bat handle.
GM reinforces the palm with a leather wear patch in a high use area. This adds durability where repeated contact with the bat handle is likely to create greater wear, helping the glove stand up to regular use.
