Cricket Padding

All About Cricket Padding

It is important to protect your legs and chest from bats and balls while batting and wicket keeping so make sure proper padding is worn. Chest guards and shin guards are usually fully adjustable and made of high-density foam and covered with polyurethane. Shin guards should also protect your knees and most have wings to protect as much of your leg as possible. Armguards, thigh guards, padded vests and protective shorts are also commonly worn for added protection, by fielders, under their clothing in cricket. All of your padding should be lightweight to keep you cool and mobile while offering you the best protection available. Padding comes in various materials, sizes and colors.
