New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Batting Pads
The New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Batting Pads are cricket leg guards designed for players who want reliable protection without unnecessary bulk. A modern seven-bar construction, Crosslink Foam padding and layered bolsters provide the coverage needed at the crease, while keeping comfort and freedom of movement in focus.
The high-grade PU front provides the main protective outer surface, with a modern seven-bar design creating structure across the front of the leg. Behind this, Crosslink Foam padding helps absorb impacts from the cricket ball.
Inside the pad, the vertical bolster combines Litlon, soft foam and mesh to provide cushioning, comfort and stability around the leg. Three horizontal bolsters add further protective coverage, particularly useful when dealing with quicker bowling.
Protection extends down to the Litlon padded instep, which has a PU covering for additional durability and comfort around the top of the foot. Nylon straps with easy-release PU tabs secure the pads around the legs and make adjustment and removal straightforward.
