Description
Engineered for serious cricketers, the GM 808 Batting Gloves combine innovative design, premium materials, and professional-level protection. Built to deliver exceptional comfort and grip, these gloves give players the confidence to perform at their best with style.
The exceptionally soft calf leather palm offers outstanding feel and control on the bat handle — the preferred choice of many batsmen for its softness and durability. The PU leather and multi-section back of hand provides superior flexibility, allowing each section to move naturally with the hand.
For protection, the gloves feature shock-absorbing HD foam back of hand padding, reinforced with HD foam & fibre overlaps and raw cotton finger rolls for added security in high-impact areas. An HD foam side bar further shields the index finger of the bottom hand, protecting against unexpected deflections.
Comfort hasn’t been forgotten — the soft-fill lining, two-piece thumb, and double-sided sweatband all combine to keep hands cool, dry, and flexible. With a weight of 0.48kg per pair, the 808s balance lightweight design with pro-level 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
140-155cm - 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.
