Cricket Batting Pads Specifications
When you’re facing a fast spell under the lights in Naperville or competing in a regional Midwest tournament, your gear shouldn't hold you back. The SS Match Batting Pads represent the gold standard for club-level performance.
Constructed with a Premium PU Outer, these pads are built to withstand the "wear and tear" of a full American cricket season. The internal layered dual-density foam is strategically placed to dissipate impact energy, protecting your shins and knees from stinging deliveries. Unlike traditional heavy pads, the SS Match series uses lightweight materials that allow for explosive footwork and rapid sprinting between wickets.
The Top Hat reinforcement provides extra safety for the upper thigh area, while the PVC instep features hard-wearing piping to prevent fraying where the pad meets your spikes. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or an emerging talent, these pads provide the confidence you need to play your shots with total freedom.

Why SS Match Batting Pads
1. Impact Diffusion Technology
The SS Match series utilizes a multi-layered foam system that doesn't just block the ball—it absorbs and spreads the energy across the pad's surface, reducing "localized sting."
2. Midwest Climate Ready
Designed with breathable internal bolsters and moisture-wicking fabric, these pads manage sweat effectively, keeping you cool during those humid 90°F July matches in Illinois.
3. Built for Longevity
The wear-resistant PVC instep is reinforced with heavy-duty piping, ensuring your pads don't fall apart after a few slides or long days in the field.
