Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need separate thigh guards for batting and wicket-keeping?
A: Yes, batting thigh guards feature full knee rolls and extended coverage for comprehensive protection against varied bowling angles. Wicket-keeping pads have reduced knee sections for enhanced mobility and quicker movement behind the stumps. The different designs optimize protection and performance for each specialist role.

Q: How do I know when to replace my cricket thigh guards?
A: Replace thigh guards when foam shows permanent compression, straps lose elasticity, or padding shifts within the guard. Professional players typically replace protective equipment every 2-3 seasons with heavy use, while club players may extend this to 4-5 seasons with proper care. Any visible damage to protective areas requires immediate replacement.

Q: What size thigh guard should I choose for a growing junior player?
A: Select thigh guards with adjustable strapping that accommodate 2-3 inches of growth. Measure the child's thigh circumference and length, then choose the next size up if measurements fall between categories. Ensure current fit provides complete coverage without restricting movement—undersized protection creates dangerous gaps, while oversized guards reduce mobility and effectiveness.
