Gunn & Moore Original Wicket Keeping Pads
The Gunn & Moore Original Wicket Keeping Pads are professional grade cricket keeping pads designed for elite level wicket keepers who need protection without compromising mobility. Built for match play and intensive training, they combine high density foam protection with a lightweight construction that supports fast reactions and repeated movement behind the stumps.
A PU facing, vertical low density shin bolsters and breathable mesh insteps balance protection with comfort, while two wide adjustable straps help keep the pads securely positioned.
Vertical low density foam shin bolsters provide cushioning between the protective face and the keeper's lower leg.
The softer foam helps create a comfortable contact point against the shin while contributing additional impact absorption. This becomes particularly useful when the pads are worn through long periods behind the stumps.
