📌 Cricket Batting Pads Specifications
The Mace 486 Cricket Batting Pads (Navy) are built for the aggressive batsman who refuses to be slowed down by bulky, traditional gear.

Whether you’re facing a local speedster or a crafty spinner, the Mace 486 gives you the confidence to play every shot in the book.

📌 Why MACE 486 Cricket Batting Pads-Navy
1. The "Second Skin" Fit
The Mace 486 is engineered to feel like an extension of your leg. By utilizing a shorter top-hat and an oversized wing, the pad provides a complete wrap-around fit that eliminates the bulky "clashing" often felt during quick singles.
2. GEL-X Impact Shield
Safety is our priority. The internal GEL-X knee cup is a dedicated socket that centers your knee and absorbs the "sting" from direct hits. This ensures that even on the hardest-ball wickets in the Midwest, your joints remain protected.
3. Built for the USA Grind
Midwest summers are notorious for high humidity. The 486 Navy incorporates a 3D Airflow mesh system and towelled straps that absorb moisture, keeping your legs cool and preventing the pads from slipping during those long July double-headers in Naperville.
