A First Class Full Length Bat Cover in Braided 600d
Overview
The Kookaburra Pro 1.1 bat cover is a First Class, full length bat cover from the 2027 Kookaburra luggage range. It covers the whole bat, from the toe to the top of the handle, and is made from hard wearing braided 600d material in black.
A hook and loop closure keeps the bat secure, and a carry strap lets you take your bat to nets or the ground on its own. It is a simple way to keep a new bat free of scuffs and marks.
Pick one up with your new bat now and it will be protected through winter nets and into the April start.

Design and Materials
The Pro 1.1 is made from braided 600d material. It is a tough, hard wearing fabric that guards your bat against the rubbing and knocks it can take in a kit bag or car boot.
It measures 89cm x 16cm. As a full length cover it encloses the whole bat, including the handle and grip, so the grip stays clean as well as the blade.
A hook and loop closure fastens the cover, and a carry strap lets you sling it over your shoulder. It comes in black.

VKS Review
The Kookaburra Pro 1.1 bat cover is a sensible buy alongside a new bat, or as a replacement for a worn out cover. Full length coverage keeps the grip clean as well as the blade, which a half cover does not.
It suits any cricketer who wants their bat protected in transit. If you only need the blade covered, the Pro 3.1 half cover is the shorter option. You can also visit our London store in Ealing to see it before you buy.
Q&A Section
How big is the Pro 1.1 bat cover?
Kookaburra lists it at 89cm x 16cm. It is a full length cover, so it covers the whole bat including the handle.
How does the cover close?
It fastens with a hook and loop closure.
What is the difference between the Pro 1.1 and Pro 3.1 bat covers?
The Pro 1.1 is a First Class, full length cover at 89cm x 16cm with a hook and loop closure. The Pro 3.1 is a Club level half cover at 64cm x 16cm, which covers the blade but not the handle. Both are black braided 600d with a carry strap.
Does a new Kookaburra bat come with a cover?
Many senior Kookaburra bats come with a free bat cover. This cover is for bats that do not, or for anyone who wants a replacement or a spare.
Will the cover protect my bat in a kit bag?
Yes. It stops the face and edges of the bat rubbing against spikes, buckles and other kit in your bag.
Should I store my bat in the cover?
Use it to carry and transport the bat. Keep the bat out of the cover when it is damp, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
