Frequently Asked Questions

What is octopus rubber?
Octopus rubber is SS's signature palm material — a multi-colour, multi-textured rubber pattern engineered to maximise catching grip in dry and wet conditions. It's the same surface trusted by international wicket-keepers on tour.

Are these suitable for standing up to fast bowling?
Standing up to genuine pace is rare — the Reserve Edition delivers HDF cuff protection plus reinforced finger and thumb padding that defends against snicks and edge deflections at all standard wicket-keeping positions. For most keepers standing back to pace, the protection is comfortably elite-grade.

How do these compare to other SS WK gloves?
The Reserve Edition is SS TON's top-tier wicket-keeping glove — the same gloves international keepers wear. The SS Aerolite WK Gloves are a step down in price and use a different palm rubber. Choose Reserve Edition for elite-level catching feel and premium sheep-skin construction.

Do these need breaking in?
The premium sheep-skin back is soft and breaks in quickly over the first few sessions — the gloves will mould to your hand for a personal fit. Wear them for warm-ups and net sessions before your first match.

White or Black — which should I pick?
White (with White & Gold trim) for traditional cricket-whites and red-ball play. Black for T20, ODI, and limited-overs kit.
