FAQ

Q: How do these pads compare to the previous Kookaburra keeper pad models?
A: The 4.0 T20 model is significantly lighter than previous generations, with improved flex points and a slimmer profile specifically engineered for T20 cricket's rapid movements.

Q: Are these pads suitable for longer format cricket?
A: While designed with T20 in mind, these pads provide sufficient protection for longer formats. However, keepers playing primarily multi-day cricket might prefer Kookaburra's traditional models with additional padding.

Q: Do these pads require a break-in period?
A: The pre-curved design minimizes break-in time. Most keepers report comfortable fit after 1-2 matches, significantly less than traditional flat-designed pads.

Q: How do I determine the correct size?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to the ground. The pad should cover approximately 2 inches below the knee when standing, with the top of the instep protection aligning with your ankle bone.
