💎 Why MACE 486 Cricket Batting Gloves
1. Professional Protection for the Local Hero
The MACE 486 brings international standards to your local Naperville league. Every finger roll is designed to absorb the force of a 90mph delivery, dispersing the energy away from your knuckles. Play with the confidence of a pro, knowing your hands are shielded by high-density foam technology.
2. Stay Dry in the Midwest Heat
Midwest summers are notorious for high humidity. The MACE 486 utilizes an Advanced Air-Flow System featuring mesh gussets between the fingers and a breathable back-of-hand. This ensures your grip stays dry and your hands remain fresh, even when the match enters the final overs.
3. Anatomical Fit & Feel
We’ve eliminated the "break-in" period. The MACE 486 is pre-curved to mimic the shape of a hand on a bat handle. From the first time you put them on at our Naperville flagship store, you’ll feel a natural, snug fit that enhances your "kinaesthetic sense" and bat speed.
