Collection: Wicket Keeping Gloves
Wicket-keeper's gloves have an anterior surface designed for catching the ball, while offering protection to fingers and the palms of the hands from painful impact. Typically, the catching surface is made of rubber and has some traction-enhancing features, such as pimples. Soft padding material is placed underneath the catching surface to reduce the impact of the ball. A protective padded cuff covering the wrist area is also present on the anterior surface, but this is typically leather-encased and does not offer a catching surface.The posterior of the glove, which is not intended for contact with the ball, is made of leather. Inside the glove, rubber thimbles are used to protect fingertip from injury due to impact from the ball.
