📌 Cricket Batting Pads Specifications
Step to the crease with confidence in the SS Platino Batting Leg Guards, a premier choice for serious players in the United States. In the fast-paced leagues of Naperville and Chicago, gear needs to be as agile as the player. The Platino series achieves this through a hybrid design of traditional cane and modern High-Density Foam (HDF).
The standout feature is the unique hinged side wing, which wraps around the calf to provide extra protection against "around the wicket" deliveries while allowing the leg to flex naturally during a full stride. The interior is lined with layered dual-density sponge foam, which not only softens the blow from fast bowlers but also provides a "soft-feel" comfort that lasts through long innings. With a wear-resistant PVC instep, these pads are built to withstand the friction of hard-running on both turf and synthetic wickets.
Construction: 7-bar vertical cane rods with low-density foam inserts.
Weight: Approx. 1.45 Kgs per pair (Mens size).
Outer Material: Premium quality Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) facing.
Internal Bolsters: Triple vertical internal bolsters for flexibility.
Knee System: 3-piece inside knee construction with high-density sponge.
Straps: Two broad middle and lower straps for a secure, tight fit.

📌 Why SS Platino Batting Cricket Pads
Engineered for Speed: We know that in Midwest league cricket, every run counts. The SS Platino's lightweight profile (under 1.5kg per pair) ensures your running speed is never compromised by your protection.
- Impact Shield Technology: By combining traditional cane with Dual Density Sponge Foam, the Platino dissipates the kinetic energy of a cricket ball across the entire surface area of the pad, significantly reducing the risk of bone bruising.
- Climate Comfort: Specifically designed for the heat of Illinois summers, the laminated air mesh promotes airflow between the pad and your leg, preventing sweat buildup and keeping the pads from becoming heavy during a long 40-over innings.
