Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the SG Test Thigh Guard provide adequate protection for pace bowling above 130 kmph?

A: This model is specifically designed for batting applications. Wicket-keepers require specialized protection with different coverage areas and attachment systems for their unique movement patterns behind the stumps.
