Product Review: DKP Pro Edition Black Batting Gloves

Following my product review of the Gray-Nicolls Hypernova 2000 batting gloves and the comment I made about not being sure I would use them for T20 and that I had considered some Black Cricket Batting Gloves I was kindly and surprisingly sent a pair of DKP Pro Edition Batting Gloves.

For clarification they were a gift from a mate not from DKP so this is very much a personal view point.

I will say thought that having never heard of DKP before I am semi in love with their product range already and have no hesitation in suggesting you take a look.

As fate would have it they arrived the same day as another mate showed me his Gray-Nicolls ‘Member Only’ Black Batting Gloves (was tempted but thankfully they have sold out!) so I was able to do a quick comparison. Although £10 cheaper these were as good in my opinion, but so much equipment is that it really is a case of either preferred brand or budget I think.

My Review

Price: £89.99

Loved the look and feel and the protection is great. If anything are a little snug (will stretch) so if you wear inner gloves you may want to work on stretching them a little.

These WILL BE my T20 gloves this season ……. honest!!
