SS TON Super Test Cricket Batting Gloves
The SS TON Super Test Cricket Batting Gloves are senior cricket batting gloves built around a traditional sausage-finger construction, combining a super-soft leather palm with reinforced fibre protection, lightweight PU materials and a two-piece thumb design. They are suited to senior players who want a protective glove with a comfortable palm, structured finger coverage and enough flexibility for regular training and match play.
The super-soft leather palm provides a comfortable contact surface against the bat handle, helping with grip and feel through longer batting sessions. A reinforced palm panel adds extra padding, protection and durability in an area that takes regular wear from the handle.
Protection runs across every finger through fibre finger inserts, with reinforced fibre in the two front fingers for added impact coverage. The sausage-finger construction uses continuous finger rolls, which traditionally provide a more solid protective feel than a segmented split-finger design.
Comfort is supported by mesh gussets that improve airflow and ventilation around the fingers. The soft inner backhand adds flexibility, while the lightweight PU construction helps keep the glove from feeling unnecessarily bulky.
At the wrist, a Velcro closure with a double-sided sweatband provides a secure, adjustable fit and helps manage moisture during longer innings or net sessions.
What should you consider before buying?
The Super Test uses a sausage-finger construction, so consider whether you prefer this style or a split-finger glove. Sausage-finger gloves use continuous finger rolls and traditionally provide a more solid protective feel. Split-finger gloves use segmented rolls for greater flexibility and freedom of movement.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SS TON Super Test Batting Gloves for training and matches?
Yes. Cricket batting gloves can be used for both training and match play. Players who spend a lot of time in the nets may choose separate training and match pairs, which can help extend the life of the gloves they reserve for competition.
What is the difference between sausage-finger and split-finger batting gloves?
Sausage-finger gloves use continuous finger rolls, while split-finger gloves use segmented rolls. Split-finger construction generally improves flexibility and freedom of movement, while sausage-finger designs traditionally provide a more solid protective feel. The better option comes down to personal preference and comfort.
Should I wear batting inners with the SS TON Super Test gloves?
Batting inners are optional, but they can improve comfort and help extend the life of your gloves. They sit between the hands and glove, absorbing sweat before it reaches the leather palm and internal padding, which can be particularly useful during frequent training or warmer conditions.
Are the SS TON Super Test Batting Gloves available in junior sizes?
No. The SS TON Super Test Cricket Batting Gloves are only available in senior sizes. Junior cricketers looking for an SS TON option should consider the SS TON Super, SS TON Power Plus or SS TON Elite batting gloves instead.
