The dad who wants a ball he can leave in the car boot all summer without guilt

What it is

Synthetic football with a durable rubber feel and raised embossed grip, designed to perform in all weather and on all surfaces. Sizes 1 to 5.

Why we picked it

A synthetic ball is the one you leave in the boot of the car, because it does not care about wet grass, sand or being left out overnight, and a leather Sherrin is ruined by all three. Under $30 makes it the standard beach-and-backyard ball rather than a gift he has to look after.

Dispatch and transit are separate windows and the estimate on a product page is usually only the second one. How long Australia Post actually takes.

If it is wrong

14 days from delivery. Short. Check the size before you wrap it.

Returned in the exact condition received. Only the product cost is refunded, not delivery.

A faulty, unsafe or misdescribed product carries a consumer guarantee no store policy can remove. Sportsmart’s full terms.

What it has cost

One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
