FAQs

What level of protection do these gloves offer?

The Kookaburra Ghost 5.1 Batting Gloves offer Grade 5 protection, suitable for general club cricket and junior levels, utilizing medium-density foam and fibre protection chambers.

How do I determine the right size?

Gloves are available in Youth and Senior sizes. Measure the circumference of your hand across the knuckles and compare it to the sizing guide provided by Kookaburra Sport or the retailer.

Are these gloves suitable for fast bowlers?

While they offer good protection, these gloves are primarily designed for batting. For bowlers, specific bowling gloves with different features might be more appropriate.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully submerge the gloves in water. Gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method for care.

How long does the synthetic leather typically last?

The lifespan of the synthetic leather depends on usage frequency and care. With proper maintenance, they are designed for durability through numerous playing seasons.

Do they come in left and right-handed versions?

Yes, the Kookaburra Ghost 5.1 Batting Gloves are available for both left-handed (LH) and right-handed (RH) batsmen.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff or difficult to bend.

The synthetic leather may require a break-in period. Wear the gloves during practice sessions and gently flex your hands to help soften the material over time.

Reduced grip on the bat.

Ensure the synthetic palm is clean and dry. Sweat or dirt can affect grip. Wipe the palm with a clean, dry cloth. If the issue persists, consider using a batting glove spray designed for synthetic materials.

Fingers feel constricted.

Check that the wrist strap is not fastened too tightly. Loosen it slightly to allow for better circulation and flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct glove size.

Excessive sweating.

While designed with ventilation, intense heat can still cause sweating. Ensure the mesh back and airflow gussets are not obstructed. Allow gloves to air dry completely between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These batting gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size (youth/senior) and hand orientation (left-hand/right-hand) before wearing. Adjust the 50mm towel wrist strap with hook-and-loop fastening for a snug, comfortable fit that does not restrict movement.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a slightly damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a glove-shaped bag or stuffing them lightly can help maintain their form.
