Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these pads compare to traditional keeping pads?
A: The Kookaburra 1.0 T20 pads are significantly lighter and slimmer than traditional pads, offering greater mobility and faster movement behind the stumps - ideal for T20 cricket where keepers need to stand up to the stumps more frequently.
Q: Will these pads provide enough protection for fast bowlers?
A: Yes, despite their lightweight design, these pads feature Grade 1 Protection with High-Density Foam and traditional cane construction, providing excellent impact absorption even against fast bowling.
Q: How do I determine the correct size for me?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to the ankle bone. These pads are designed for standard adult sizing (typically 42-44cm). When worn, the top of the pad should reach mid-thigh while providing full coverage of the shin.
