- Twin 1-inch straps secure the pads comfortably to the leg

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these suitable for professional cricket?
A: The Prima pads are designed primarily for club and recreational cricket. Professional keepers typically require higher-grade materials and additional protective features found in premium models.
Q: How do these compare to higher-end GM keeping pads?
A: The Prima sits at the entry-level of GM's range, offering essential protection at a lower price point. Higher-end models feature enhanced materials like high-density foams, more substantial bolsters, and additional strapping systems.
Q: How do I maintain these pads for longevity?
A: Air dry after use, avoid direct sunlight when storing, and periodically check strap integrity. The PVC facing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but avoid soaking the foam components.
Q: Are these comfortable for a full day's keeping?
A: The lightweight design (0.9 kg) reduces fatigue, but the basic padding may become less comfortable during very long sessions. The standard two-strap system provides adequate but not premium fit adjustment.
