FAQs

What level of protection does this arm guard offer?

This arm guard offers Grade 3 impact protection, suitable for a significant level of protection against ball impacts during cricket.

Is this arm guard suitable for bowlers?

Yes, it is suitable for bowlers to protect their non-bowling arm or their bowling arm if required by specific circumstances or personal preference, offering protection against being hit by the ball.

How should I clean the arm guard?

It should be hand washed with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying; allow it to air dry completely.

Can this arm guard be worn on either arm?

Yes, the design is generally ambidextrous and can be worn on either the left or right arm.

What is the primary material used for protection?

The primary protective material is moulded High-Density Fibreboard (HDF).

Will this guard restrict my movement?

The guard is designed with an ergonomic fit to allow for a good range of motion, minimizing restriction during play.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The guard should fit snugly without being too tight, covering the intended area of the arm comfortably and staying in place during activity.

Troubleshooting

Guard feels too loose or shifts during play

Ensure the guard is sized correctly for your arm. If it's still loose, consider using sports tape to secure it in place or exploring alternative guards with adjustable straps.

Discomfort or chafing from the towel backing

Ensure the backing is clean and dry. If the issue persists, try wearing a thin compression sleeve or base layer under the guard.

Reduced impact absorption over time

Inspect the guard regularly for signs of damage to the HDF construction. If the material appears compromised, it's time to replace the guard for continued protection.
