📌 Cricket Batting Pads Specifications
The Mace Moulded 2-Strap Cricket Batting Pads (Small Mens) are designed for the batter who prioritizes lightning-fast footwork. Traditional 3-strap pads often pinch at the back of the knee, but this moulded foam design focuses the security on the lower leg, allowing the knee to bend freely. This is a game-changer for players in the Naperville and Chicago circuit who rely on quick singles and aggressive sweeping.
The high-density foam (HDF) core provides a solid barrier against hard-ball impacts while maintaining a profile that is nearly 20% lighter than standard cane pads. The Small Mens sizing bridges the gap between Youth and Adult Large, offering a tailored fit for players roughly 5'4" to 5'7" in height. Finished in a professional Navy Blue, these pads stand up to the rigors of the American cricket season, from indoor winter training to high-heat July matches at the frontier parks of the Midwest.

📌 Why MACE Moulded Cricket Batting Pad 2 Straps-Small Mens
1. The 2-Strap Advantage
Inspired by the gear used by international legends, the 2-strap system is all about performance. By removing the strap behind the knee, Mace has eliminated the most common source of discomfort for batsmen, allowing for a deeper crouch and more explosive acceleration.
2. Modern Moulded Protection
Traditional cane can break or shift; moulded foam stays consistent. This pad uses a single piece of high-pressure foam that retains its shape for years. The energy from a high-speed ball is dissipated across the entire surface of the pad, protecting your shins and ankles from impact sting.
3. Tailored for the Midwest Player
We know the local game in Illinois. These pads are built for the versatile wickets of the Midwest. The moisture-wicking internal lining ensures that your legs stay cool during those humid 90-degree match days in Naperville, while the navy colorway keeps you looking sharp in your team’s T20 kit.
