Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these pads compare to the top-line Kookaburra keeper pads?
A: These are Grade 2 pads, offering excellent value while maintaining professional features. Top-line pads would use premium materials and have additional protection features but at a higher price point.
Q: Are these suitable for wicketkeeping on artificial pitches?
A: Yes, the durable PVC facing is designed to withstand abrasion on all surfaces including artificial pitches, though longevity may be slightly reduced compared to natural turf.
Q: What's the difference between combo pads and traditional keeper pads?
A: Combo pads like these offer a balance between protection and mobility, making them suitable for both keeping and occasional fielding. Traditional keeper pads are often bulkier with more focused protection directly in front of the stumps.
Q: How do I determine the correct size for these pads?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to your ankle bone. For most adults, standard size will fit players 5'8" and above. If you're between sizes, consider your playing style—wicketkeepers often prefer a slightly smaller pad for better mobility.
