Getting the right glove isn't just about brand loyalty it comes down to how you actually keep.
Fit and sizing. Wicket keeping gloves run junior, youth, small adult, medium adult and large adult. A glove that's too loose costs you control on a diving take; one that's too tight restricts the finger movement you need to whip the bails off for a stumping. If you're between sizes, most keepers size down rather than up a slightly snug glove breaks in with use, while a loose one never tightens up.
Palm padding versus feel. This is the real trade-off in every glove on this page. More padding protects against genuine pace but dulls your feel for the ball, which matters most against spin, where you're reading subtle changes in flight and bounce through your hands. Keepers standing up to the stumps for slower bowlers often go for a lower-profile glove for exactly this reason; those standing back to quicker bowling usually accept less feel in exchange for more protection.
Grip material. Every glove in this range uses a gripped-palm design, but grip quality varies with wear and conditions. In wet or humid conditions, grip matters more than raw padding thickness a well-gripped glove with moderate padding will often out-perform a heavily padded glove with a worn palm.
Junior sizing. Junior keepers should be sized by actual hand measurement, not age a 10-year-old with larger hands may need a size up from what their age group typically wears, and an oversized glove is one of the most common (and easily fixed) causes of dropped catches at junior level.
Caring for your gloves. A well-maintained glove lasts longer than most keepers expect. Air-dry gloves after a match rather than leaving them in a bag trapped moisture breaks down palm padding faster than regular use does. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or car dashboards when drying them, as heat can crack the palm material over time.
VKS stocks wicket keeping gloves from Gray Nicolls, Kookaburra, SS Ton, EM, Infinity and VKS's own range, spanning junior to adult sizing and entry-level to premium pricing.
Wicket keeping gloves are sized junior through large adult. The right size allows full finger movement while keeping the palm gripped and snug an oversized glove is one of the most common causes of reduced ball control.
Premium gloves typically use higher-density cushioning foam and more durable palm material, holding their shape and grip over a longer working life. Entry-level gloves cover the same sizes at a lower price with lighter padding density, which suits lower-impact levels of cricket well.
Yes, this range includes junior, youth, small junior, medium junior and large junior sizing across multiple brands, including dedicated junior lines from Kookaburra, SS Ton and VKS.
With proper care air-drying after use and avoiding direct heat a well-made glove typically holds up for one to two full seasons of regular club-level use before palm padding noticeably compresses.
