Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these compare to the previous Kookaburra keeper pads?
A: The 1.0 T20 pads are approximately 15% lighter than previous models, with a slimmer profile and improved flex points for better crouching position comfort.
Q: Are these suitable for all formats of cricket?
A: While optimized for T20 cricket with their lightweight design, these pads provide Grade 1 protection suitable for all formats. However, keepers standing back consistently in longer formats might prefer slightly more substantial models.
Q: How do I maintain these pads for maximum durability?
A: Air dry after use, avoid direct sunlight when storing, and occasionally wipe clean with a damp cloth. The PVC facing resists staining but should not be machine washed.
Q: What size should I choose for my height?
A: Adult sizes fit most keepers 5'8" and above. For keepers under 5'8", consider the youth size. Measure from ankle bone to mid-thigh – optimal coverage should reach approximately 2" below the knee when standing.
