FAQs

What type of protection does the Pro Guard 500 offer?

It offers protection to the upper body, specifically covering the side and rib areas with foam inserts.

Is the Kookaburra Pro Guard 500 suitable for all cricket players?

Yes, it is designed to be ambidextrous, making it suitable for both left-handed and right-handed players. It is also available in multiple sizes from Junior to Oversized Adult.

Can I machine wash the protector?

Yes, it is fully washable. It is recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Kookaburra sizing guide and measure your chest and torso circumference. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.

Will this protector restrict my movement?

The protector features an elasticated vest design and is made to provide a relaxed feel, aiming to allow a full range of movement essential for cricket.

What material is the protector made from?

The protector is manufactured from elasticated fabric with High-Density Foam (HDF) inserts for protection.

Troubleshooting

Protector feels too tight or too loose.

Check if the correct size has been selected. Refer to the Kookaburra sizing chart and measure yourself accurately. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a more relaxed fit or down for a tighter fit, depending on personal preference and the specific game situation.

Foam inserts shift during play.

Ensure the vest is worn snugly. The elasticated fabric should hold the inserts in place. If the issue persists, check that the protector is not being worn over excessively bulky underlayers that might cause slippage.

Discomfort during bending or stretching.

Verify the fit; the protector should allow for a full range of movement. Ensure the elasticated fabric is not overly stretched or worn out. The 'relaxed feel' design aims to minimize restriction.
