Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these pads suitable for all playing conditions?
A: Yes, the GM Original Wicket Keeping Pads are designed for all cricket formats and playing conditions, from fast-paced T20s to multi-day matches. The PU facing offers good water resistance for dewy or light rain conditions.

Q: How do these compare to other GM wicketkeeping pads?
A: The Original line sits in GM's mid-to-high performance range, offering professional-level protection at a more accessible price point than their premium models. They provide excellent value while maintaining GM's renowned quality standards.

Q: What size player are these best suited for?
