Buying guide
Choosing wicket-keeping gloves and pads
Webbing size is the key decision for keeping gloves: more webbing helps reach when standing back to pace bowling, less webbing gives faster glove speed when standing up to spin. Keeping pads are shorter and lighter than batting pads by design, built for repeated crouching rather than straight-line running — don’t substitute batting pads for keeping duties.
You don’t need matching gloves and pads from the same range — mixing tiers to suit your budget is common and works well.
