FAQs

Q: Are the GM 505 Batting Pads suitable for professional level cricket?
A: The GM 505 Batting Pads are designed as mid-level protection pads, making them ideal for club cricket and practice sessions rather than professional matches. Advanced players typically require higher-specification pads with additional protection features.

Q: How do the GM 505 Batting Pads compare to higher-end GM models?
A: The GM 505 Batting Pads use traditional cotton/cane construction compared to the premium models which feature high-density foam and cane, advanced impact absorption, and lighter materials. The 505 offers good protection at a more accessible price point.

Q: What maintenance is required for the GM 505 Batting Pads?
A: The GM 505 Batting Pads should be air-dried naturally after use to prevent odor and material deterioration. The PU facing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but immersing in water should be avoided as it can damage the internal cotton/cane structure.

Q: Do the GM 505 Batting Pads work well for players who prefer to bat for long periods?
A: The GM 505 Batting Pads weighing 1.75 kg provide a reasonable comfort-to-protection ratio for extended batting sessions. While not as light as premium models, the three-strap system and mesh instep help maintain comfort during longer innings.
