Masuri StemGuard Lite 2.0 Neck Guard
The Masuri StemGuard Lite 2.0 Neck Guard is a cricket helmet attachment designed to provide additional protection to the vulnerable area at the back of the neck. Made from lightweight PRO-FOAM in a single-piece, pre-curved construction, it adds coverage beneath the rear of a compatible helmet without the bulky feel of a heavier neck attachment.
For batters facing short-pitched bowling, particularly on quick or unpredictable pitches, the exposed area below the back of the helmet can be a concern. The StemGuard Lite 2.0 extends protection into this area while keeping weight and interference with normal batting movement to a minimum.
Masuri uses a single-piece PRO-FOAM construction, reducing unnecessary weight while providing the protective structure of the guard. This lightweight approach matters at the crease, where additional helmet accessories need to provide coverage without unnecessarily restricting head movement as you watch the ball and move into position.
The guard has a pre-curved mould designed to follow the shape of the neck. This helps it sit more naturally behind a compatible cricket helmet, providing additional coverage while maintaining a comfortable position during batting.
Finished in Black, the StemGuard Lite 2.0 provides a straightforward way for batters to add rear neck coverage to their Masuri helmet.
Who is the StemGuard Lite 2.0 best for?
The Masuri StemGuard Lite 2.0 is best for cricketers who want additional protection for the exposed area behind their helmet without adding excessive bulk or weight. It is particularly relevant for batters facing short-pitched bowling on quick or unpredictable pitches, where additional rear neck coverage may be desirable.
