SG Test Pro Cricket Batting Gloves
The SG Test Pro is engineered for the high-intensity demands of professional cricket. It features a premium quality sheep leather palm for exceptional grip and durability. To combat the fast bowling encountered in USA leagues, the first four fingers of the bottom hand are reinforced with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) shell. The hybrid construction of imported PU and cotton-filled finger rolls provides a lightweight profile without sacrificing impact absorption.
Elite Sheep Leather Palm: Provides a soft feel and superior grip, with an additional leather patch in high-wear zones for longevity.
TPU Shell Protection: Hard-shell thermoplastic inserts on the first four fingers of the bottom hand shield against high-speed impacts.
Sponge-Padded Spacer Mesh: Heavy-duty mesh on the back of the hand ensures a contoured fit and enhanced flexibility.
Midwest-Ready Ventilation: Full nylon gussets provide 360-degree airflow, crucial for humid summer matches in Illinois.
Men's RH/LH Available: Professional sizing with a secure 50mm double-sided towel sweatband for a locked-in fit.
📌 Cricket Batting Glove Specifications
The SG Test Pro Cricket Batting Gloves are designed for the "technical" batsman who demands zero distraction from their gear. In the competitive cricket landscape of Naperville and the Chicagoland area, fast, bouncy pitches are standard; the Test Pro addresses this with a dual-layered protection system. The imported PU and cotton-filled rolls act as the primary shock absorber, while the TPU inserts dissipate the force of direct hits to the knuckles.
For the Midwest cricketer, the interior of the glove is just as important as the exterior. The sponge-padded spacer mesh back allows the glove to flex naturally with your hand during late cuts and power drives. Combined with a premium toweling wristband, these gloves stay dry and comfortable even during long Saturday afternoon innings.
