FAQ
Q: How do these compare to traditional wicket keeping pads?
A: The 4.0 T20 pads are significantly lighter with a slimmer profile than traditional keeper pads, offering greater mobility but still maintaining impact protection through strategic HDF and cane placement.
Q: Are these suitable for multi-day cricket formats?
A: While they can be used in longer formats, these pads are specifically designed for T20 and limited-overs cricket where keeper mobility is prioritized over the extended durability needed for multi-day matches.
Q: How do I determine the correct size?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to the base of your ankle. Senior pads typically fit players 13+ years (approximately 16.5" length), while Junior pads suit players 8-12 years. The slim-fit design means they may feel more snug than standard pads.
Q: How do these pads handle on artificial/hard surfaces?
A: The "Tough Scuff" instep and durable PVC facing provide good resistance to abrasion on harder surfaces, though like all keeper equipment, they will show wear faster on artificial pitches than natural turf.
