FAQs
What level of protection does Grade 3 offer?
Grade 3 protection is suitable for high-level amateur and professional cricket, offering significant defense against fast bowling.
Is this arm guard suitable for fast bowlers?
While designed for batsmen, its protective qualities might offer some benefit to bowlers, though its primary design is for impact absorption on the forearm.
How do I clean the HDF material?
The HDF material should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only. Avoid soaking or using cleaning chemicals.
Can I wear this over pads?
This arm guard is designed to be worn directly on the forearm and may not fit comfortably over other protective gear.
What is the benefit of the towel backing?
The towel backing enhances comfort by providing a soft layer against the skin and helps to wick away moisture, keeping you cooler.
Does the ambidextrous design affect the fit?
No, the ambidextrous design ensures it fits equally well on either arm without compromising protection or comfort.
Troubleshooting
Guard feels too loose or shifts during play
Re-adjust the straps for a tighter fit. Ensure the guard is positioned correctly on the forearm.
Discomfort from the straps
Slightly loosen the straps. Ensure the guard is not over-tightened. Check for any bunching of the towel backing.
Material feels stiff
The HDF material is designed for rigidity. Wear it for short periods during warm-ups to allow it to conform slightly to your arm.
