Design and Materials
The glove uses a leather palm for durability and good ball feel, while the back-hand is crafted from soft, select leather (or high grade synthetic equivalent) to give a comfortable fit and match-level appearance. Ventilated net inserts are placed in the back-hand region to aid airflow. The cuff is reinforced with high-density foam and shaped to deliver both comfort and protection. The overall construction is aimed at junior players who demand serious keeping performance but at a club level price point.

VKS Review
For a junior wicket-keeper, this glove offers very good value: the leather palm gives confidence when catching, the generous pocket aids consistent takes, and the protective cuff is reassuring when standing up. The ventilation and overall fit make it comfortable over longer sessions. While it may not have all the elite-tier materials found in professional models, it hits the sweet spot for club and youth match play.
Q&A Section
Q: Is this glove suitable for fast bowling (say 80?90?mph)?
A: It offers good protection for club level pace, thanks to the high-density foam cuff and leather palm, but for elite pace you may consider a top-tier pro version that offers extra finger protection.
Q: How do I choose the correct junior size?
A: Check the manufacturer’s size chart (wrist to finger tip measurement) and consider the youth’s hand size. A glove that’s slightly snug is better than one loose for catching control.
Q: How do I maintain the glove?
A: After play rinse off dirt, allow air-dry (don’t place near direct heat), keep the closure strap fastened to retain shape, and store in a cool dry place. Leather palms benefit from light conditioning if they start to stiffen.
