New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Batting Gloves

New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Batting Gloves

The New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Batting Gloves are adult batting gloves designed for club cricket, combining protective finger construction with a sheep leather palm and Crosslink Foam padding. Available in Adult, right-handed or left-handed options, they provide a practical balance of protection, flexibility and feel at the crease.

The protective finger construction is designed to give the fingers the flexibility needed to wrap comfortably around the bat handle. Additional protection and inserts help reinforce the fingers against impact, while the padded construction provides coverage across the hands.

The sheep leather palm provides the main contact surface between your hands and the bat handle. Leather gives the gloves a natural feel when gripping the bat, making it a useful feature for players who value feedback through their hands.

Crosslink Foam padding provides cushioning through the protective sections of the glove, while stretchable and ventilated gussets help the fingers move naturally and allow airflow between them during longer periods at the crease.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between split-finger and sausage-finger batting gloves?

Split-finger gloves divide the finger protection into smaller sections, while sausage-finger gloves use longer protective rolls. Split designs generally provide more flexibility when gripping the bat, while sausage-finger gloves provide a more traditional feel with longer sections of protection. The best option comes down to the combination of protection and feel you prefer.

Should I wear batting glove inners?

Batting glove inners are optional and largely come down to personal preference. They can help absorb sweat and create a removable layer between your hands and the gloves, particularly during long innings or regular training. They do add some bulk, so players who prefer a more direct feel may choose not to use them.

How should I look after my cricket batting gloves?

Allow your batting gloves to dry naturally after training or matches rather than leaving them damp inside your cricket bag. This is particularly important with leather palms. Avoid placing them directly against strong heat sources and check the palms and protective sections regularly for signs of excessive wear.
