Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these pads compare to previous PELLARA models?
A: The 3.0 version features improved triple vertical bolsters compared to the 2.0 model, offering better protection while maintaining similar weight. The air mesh instep is also an upgrade from previous iterations, providing better breathability during long sessions.
Q: Are these suitable for wicket keepers at all playing levels?
A: These pads are designed for serious club cricketers through to professional players. While ideal for match-day performance, they offer the durability required for regular training sessions. Beginners may find more budget-friendly options with similar protection.
Q: How do I properly maintain these pads?
A: Clean with a damp cloth after use and allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Periodically check straps and Velcro for wear and tear, replacing when necessary to maintain proper fit.
Q: What's the difference between these and standard batting pads?
A: These specialist keeping pads are designed with greater flexibility across the knee for crouching positions, feature wrapped construction around the sides for protection when diving, and have strategically positioned padding where keepers typically face impact. They're generally lighter than batting pads to facilitate quicker movement behind the stumps.
