Gunn & Moore Maxi 606 Black Cricket Batting Pads
The Gunn & Moore Maxi 606 Black Cricket Batting Pads are protective batting pads designed specifically for white ball cricket, combining a full Black colourway with traditional cotton and cane construction. Dual layered knee protection, low density foam bolsters and shock absorbing comfort foam provide a practical balance of protection and comfort for players across different levels of the game.
The Black finish makes the Maxi 606 particularly suited to coloured kit formats where traditional white batting pads are not required. Underneath the coloured exterior, GM retains a traditional protective construction using cotton, cane, foam and fibre.
The Maxi 606 features dual layered foam and fibre knee protection for additional impact absorption around the knee. A shaped knee locator helps keep the knee aligned within the protective area of the pad. This matters during batting because protection works best when the pad remains correctly positioned as you move at the crease and run between wickets.
Low density foam bolsters help create a snug contact point against the leg, while shock absorbing comfort foam provides additional cushioning against ball impact.
At the bottom of the pad, a mesh instep combines breathability with a lightweight construction, helping manage comfort through longer periods of batting.
