SG Test Abdominal Guard Specifications
When you step out to the middle in a Midwest premier league match or a high-stakes USA regional tournament, you need equipment that has been tested at the highest levels. The SG Test Abdominal Guard is designed for exactly that. It is the most robust protector in the SG catalog, intended for players who face the fastest bowling.
The core of the Test guard is a thickened, reinforced polycarbonate shell that provides an impenetrable barrier. What defines the "Test" model is its enhanced perimeter padding. This high-density foam border is significantly more substantial than club-level guards, acting as a secondary shock absorber that spreads the force of an impact across a wider surface area. The guard is finished with a premium moisture-wicking fabric, ensuring that even during a grueling century in the Naperville heat, you remain dry and comfortable. If you take your cricket seriously, this is the essential piece of armor for your kit bag.

Why SG Test Abdominal Guards
1. Ballistic Impact Shield
The SG Test Guard is engineered for the "impact zone." The reinforced shell is designed to maintain its structural integrity under extreme pressure, ensuring that even a direct "stinger" from a premier-league fast bowler is neutralized before it reaches the body.
2. Performance-Wicking Lining
Unlike plastic-heavy guards, the Test model is wrapped in a high-quality, non-abrasive fabric. This lining draws sweat away from the skin, a crucial feature for the high humidity of Illinois and Midwest cricket seasons, reducing the risk of heat rash and irritation.
3. The Pro Choice in Naperville
Trusted by professionals globally, this guard is now the preferred choice for top-order batsmen in Naperville, IL. Its deep-contoured shape ensures it stays "locked" in your jockstrap pocket, preventing the dangerous shifting that occurs with smaller, lighter boxes during high-intensity movement.
