New Balance Dc 1200 Cricket Batting Gloves

New Balance DC 1200 Cricket Batting Gloves

The New Balance DC 1200 Cricket Batting Gloves are protective batting gloves designed with additional finger protection, premium sheep leather palms and shaped Crosslink Foam padding. With plastic inserts, reinforced lead fingers and side bar protection on both hands, the DC 1200 provides a well-covered design for cricketers who want protection across the fingers and sides of the hands.

The finger rolls use imported high-grade Korean PU, with additional protection incorporated across all fingers. The lead fingers receive further reinforcement through plastic inserts and plastic shields across two panels, adding protection to an area that can be particularly exposed when batting.

Underneath the outer construction, shaped Crosslink Foam provides the main padding. Shaping the foam allows the protective sections to follow the structure of the glove and fingers while retaining the segmented construction needed for gripping and controlling the bat.

Protection continues around the edges of the gloves with side bars on both hands. This provides additional coverage outside the main finger and hand padding rather than limiting protection to the front of the gloves.

Who are the New Balance DC 1200 Batting Gloves best for?

The New Balance DC 1200 Cricket Batting Gloves are best for cricketers looking for substantial finger and side protection combined with a premium sheep leather palm.

The combination of Crosslink Foam, additional protection across every finger, reinforced lead fingers and side bars on both hands makes protection a clear focus of the DC 1200 design.
