Gunn & Moore 808 Cricket Batting Pads

The Gunn & Moore 808 Cricket Batting Pads are protective cricket pads designed to balance protection, comfort and value. They combine traditional cane and cotton construction with layered foam protection, a tri layer knee locator and a secure three strap system, giving cricketers dependable coverage without unnecessary bulk.

A PU facing provides a durable outer finish, while comfort foam, a low density vertical bolster and mesh instep are designed to keep the pads comfortable through longer periods at the crease.

The GM 808 uses a traditional cane and cotton construction through the main body of the pad. Cane provides structural protection across the front of the leg, while the cotton construction contributes to the traditional protective design.

GM has built the 808 to provide this protection without unnecessary bulk, helping the pads remain manageable when batting and running between the wickets.

Around the knee, the 808 uses a tri layer foam and fibre knee locator. This provides cushioned protection while helping keep the knee securely positioned within the protective area of the pad.

The knee locator works alongside the traditional cane structure and additional foam layers to provide protection across key impact areas.
