Description
The GM 505 Batting Gloves are crafted to deliver outstanding value, comfort, and protection for players of all abilities. Combining expert design with high-quality materials, these gloves give batsmen the confidence to perform at their best while enjoying excellent grip and flexibility.
Featuring an exceptionally soft calf leather palm, the 505 gloves provide superb feel and control on the bat handle — a preferred choice for many cricketers due to its softness and durability. The PU leather and multi-section back of hand ensures unrestricted movement, while shock-absorbing HD foam padding and lightweight HD foam & fibre finger rolls offer solid protection in key impact zones.
Additional safety comes from the HD foam side bar on the bottom hand, protecting the index finger and leading hand against short balls and deflections. Comfort is further enhanced by the soft-fill lining, two-piece thumb for natural movement, and a double-sided sweatband to keep hands cool and dry. At just 0.32kg per pair, they’re lightweight without compromising durability.

Too often junior players use bats that are too big for them. Bats that are too long prevent the bat being picked up correctly as the top of the handle gets in the way.

8-10 Years - Small Junior
10-12 Years - Junior
12-14 Years - Youths

It is important that gloves have a nice snug fit. If they are too loose the palm will bunch up and cause discomfort and they will wear out prematurely. With gloves it is acceptable to allow up to 10mm (1cm) of extra room at the end of the fingers.
Pads Sizing:
PLEASE NOTE - PAD SIZES ARE AN APPROXIMATION ONLY
Using Players Height -
120-135cm - XS Junior
130-145cm - Small Junior

150-165cm - Youths
170cm + - Medium or Adult
Pads are probably the most difficult to fit correctly. There is only limited room for error, and pads need to be fitted correctly to allow for a good amount of movement - There's nothing worse than being caught short on a quick single!! Ideally your knee should be centered in the knee roll and the "top hat" should not get in the way when playing your shots - particularly front foot shots.
Helmet Sizing:
With so many different brands of helmets available, it is important to check the circumference measurements within the different brand and helmets styles. To select the correct size, measure the circumference around the cap line (where a cap would sit). Most of our listed helmets will have a cm measurement guide to follow.
