| Description |
A pair of 2000s, Canterbury CCC in-FL-8r batting gloves, also known as the Bloater cricket glove, with air injection to increase the protection provided by the gloves. The exterior is made, as is traditional, of leather. The interior includes an outer rigid acrylic layer to reduce the impact of the ball's velocity, a Poron polyurethane foam to absorb the ball's impact and a high-frequency welded polyurethane bladder with pump that can be inflated to suit each individual wearer and provide, thus, additional protection combined with a snug fit whatever the size and shape of the wearer's hand. For a sample of the bladder see AIBDC: 005889.1. The wrist is fastened with Velcro. |
