SS TON Player Cricket Batting Gloves
The SS TON Player Cricket Batting Gloves are sausage-finger batting gloves designed to balance hand protection, grip, durability and comfortable movement at the crease. They combine a leather palm, high-density foam padding, full finger protection and reinforced high-impact areas with a lightweight construction.
The sausage-finger design uses continuous finger rolls to provide a solid protective feel across the fingers. Full finger protection is backed by additional reinforcement in key high-impact areas, helping provide greater coverage where the hands are more exposed to the ball.
Underneath the protective sections, high-density foam padding provides shock absorption against ball impact. The Player gloves also use a one-piece thumb construction, providing continuous protective coverage around the thumb on your bottom hand.
The outer construction uses PU for a premium finish, while the overall glove remains lightweight. This combination is designed to balance durability and protection with the flexibility needed during longer batting sessions.
An ergonomic construction brings these elements together, with the glove shaped to balance protection, durability and performance without unnecessarily restricting the hands.

Frequently asked questions
What type of finger construction do the SS TON Player Batting Gloves use?
The SS TON Player uses a sausage-finger design with full finger protection. Sausage-finger gloves use continuous protective rolls rather than the segmented rolls found on split-finger gloves, traditionally providing a more solid protective feel across the fingers.
What protection do the SS TON Player Cricket Batting Gloves provide?
The gloves combine full finger protection, reinforced high-impact areas and high-density foam padding for shock absorption. A one-piece thumb construction adds continuous protective coverage around the thumb, creating a protection-focused setup while retaining a lightweight overall construction.
How long should cricket batting gloves last?
Batting glove lifespan depends on playing frequency, playing conditions and glove quality. After batting, allow your gloves to dry naturally and keep them out of direct sunlight while drying. This helps manage moisture and maximise their usable life.
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 provides greater flexibility when gripping the bat, while sausage-finger designs traditionally offer a more solid protective feel. Both can provide excellent protection, so the choice comes down largely to comfort and personal preference.
Can I use the SS TON Player Batting Gloves for training and matches?
Yes. Cricket batting gloves can be used for both training and match play. Players who train frequently may prefer separate pairs for nets and matches, which can help reduce wear on the gloves they reserve for match day.
