Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SG SUPALITE Chest Guard suitable for facing fast bowling?
A: The low-density foam provides adequate protection for recreational and club-level cricket. However, serious players facing consistent fast bowling may benefit from high-density foam alternatives that offer superior impact absorption for enhanced safety.

Q: How does the SG SUPALITE Chest Guard compare to premium models in terms of protection?

A: Yes, the pre-shaped construction with tapered edges provides perfect molded fit specifically designed to minimize bulk. The lightweight nature ensures it won't create excessive restriction under modern close-fitting cricket apparel.

Q: What maintenance does the SG SUPALITE Chest Guard require for longevity?
A: Chest guards with foam linings require gentle cleaning with leather cleaner for dust removal and bacteria elimination, followed by proper drying before storage. The towel backing can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water as needed.
