Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine the correct size for my child?
A: Measure from the middle of the knee to the ankle bone. For Junior size, approximately 25-28cm is ideal. Small Junior suits 22-25cm, and Extra Small Junior fits 18-22cm. The pads should cover from mid-thigh to the top of the shoes when strapped.

Q: Are these pads suitable for hard ball cricket?
A: Yes, these pads are designed for junior hard ball cricket. The PVC facing and high-density foam provide appropriate protection for youth match play, though very fast bowling may require more advanced pads.

Q: How do these compare to adult keeper pads?
A: These junior pads feature similar protective elements but are sized appropriately for younger players. They're lighter and more compact than adult versions, making them easier to maneuver for developing keepers.

Q: How should these pads be maintained?
A: Clean with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place. The PVC facing requires minimal maintenance compared to leather alternatives.
