📌 Detailed Product Description
The MACE 486 Premium Range is designed for the cricketer who demands the perfect marriage of safety and "naked-hand" feel. While standard gloves often feel restrictive, the 486 uses a multi-segment split-finger construction that allows each joint to move independently. This is critical for late cuts, flicks, and subtle bat-angle adjustments.
Safety is at the core of the MACE philosophy. The 486 features ultra-lite HD foam, which significantly reduces the glove's weight while providing a denser shield against impact. Every finger is topped with a fiber-insert layer, creating a hard-shell defense against high-speed deliveries. For players in the Naperville and Chicago area, the internal towel lining and double-sided sweatband are game-changers, absorbing moisture effectively during long summer afternoons at the crease. With its sleek white and silver aesthetic, the MACE 486 looks as professional as it performs.

📌 Why MACE 486 Batting Gloves Premium Range
The MACE Engineering Advantage
- Pittards Leather Excellence: We use the world's most renowned gloving leather. It is uniquely treated to stay soft and maintain its grip even after repeated exposure to sweat and heat, making it perfect for the erratic Midwest climate.
- Fiber-Shield Technology: Every finger roll in the 486 Premium Range contains a hidden fiber-plate. This "hard-shell" layer disperses the force of a direct hit across a larger surface area, preventing localized fractures.
- Ergonomic Thumb Design: The thumb is often the most neglected area of a glove. Our 2-piece split thumb ensures that you can wrap your hand fully around the handle without any "pinching" or restricted blood flow.
- Naperville’s Choice: MACE is a staple in the Illinois cricket community. By choosing the 486, you are joining a network of players who prioritize gear that is tested for the pace and bounce of American pitches.
