Inner batting gloves, worth it

I was just thinking that as i'm getting some new batting gloves, that it might be a good idea to get some inner batting gloves to.

My questions though are: does anyone use them

what are they for

and do they do what they're supposed to do

Thanks

Originally posted by Ian.Canaway Yes, inner gloves are for absorbing sweat and making your gloves feel more comfortable. However, they also provide another important purpose in that they help extend the lifespan of your batting gloves by protecting them and keeping them in better condition. If you've ever batted for a long time on a hot day without inners you'll notice that your batting gloves not only become slippery because of the sweat but after you've batted the material will often dry hard. With inners you can take them off after batting and wash them, helping stop you batting gloves from becoming smelly .

Yup, my last pair of gloves went yellow with sweat eventually, and fell aprt, so I've invested in some fingerless inners this time, well worth it just to get more life out of your gloves, but i find they do better your grip, and stop the sweat from going through the air holes onto the grip, causing your hands to slip

I had a pair of GN Gladius 500 gloves, not the best of gloves to start off with, and they're buggered now. First of all, they're all crusty and second, the right hand glove has split straight down the index finger, leaving the bowler a nice view of my defenseless finger ! Untill I can get a new pair, I'm batting with the left hand crusty glove and a random team mate's right handed one .

I reckon I'll invest in some inners when I get a new pair of gloves, the feedback about them seems to be positive.
