New Balance 1200 Wicket Keeping Gloves

The New Balance 1200 Wicket Keeping Gloves are premium cricket keeping gloves designed for wicketkeepers who want quality leather construction, a secure catching surface and a naturally cupped shape. Premium leather through the back, lining and palm is combined with Octopus rubber grip and webbing to provide the keeper with a controlled surface when taking the ball.

The ergonomic cupping design shapes the gloves around the catching position of the hands. For a wicketkeeper, this helps create a natural catching pocket.

Across the catching surface, Octopus rubber palm grip and Octopus rubber webbing provide a textured contact area for the ball.

The glove uses a premium sheep leather palm inner and sheep leather lining, providing a quality leather surface around the hands. An inner leather cuff continues that construction through the wrist area.

A premium leather back forms the outer construction, while PU reinforcement inserts add protection in selected areas of the glove.
