Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these pads suitable for all formats of cricket?
A: While engineered specifically for T20 cricket's demands, the Grade 1 protection makes them suitable for all formats. However, keepers who primarily play multi-day cricket might prefer heavier pads with additional padding.
Q: How do these compare to previous Kookaburra keeping pad models?
A: The 1.0 T20 model features a slimmer profile and lighter construction than Kookaburra's traditional keeping pads, with improved flex technology in the shin area while maintaining the reliable protection Kookaburra is known for.
Q: What's the advantage of the duo-flex technology?
A: The Duo-Flex integral shin bolster combines mesh and PVC facing to create a pad that flexes naturally with your movements while standing up to the stumps, providing better comfort during lateral movements without sacrificing protection.
Q: How do I determine the correct size for wicket keeping pads?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to the ground. For most adult keepers (5'10" and above), standard senior pads are appropriate. The pads should cover your shin completely with the knee roll sitting comfortably at knee height when in your keeping stance.
