Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these pads suitable for junior wicketkeepers?
A: The GM Mana 909 pads are designed for senior players. Junior keepers should look for GM's youth-specific models which offer appropriate sizing and weight distribution for younger players.

Q: How do these compare to premium wicketkeeping pads?
A: The Mana 909 sits in GM's mid-premium range, offering professional-level protection at a more accessible price point than their top-tier models. You get excellent protection and mobility with slightly less premium materials than flagship models.

Q: Can these pads be used for batting as well?
A: While technically possible, these are specialist wicketkeeping pads designed for that role. The protection distribution and mobility features are optimized for keeping, not batting. Dedicated batting pads would provide better protection when at the crease.

Q: How do I properly maintain these pads?
A: To maintain performance, air dry after use, avoid direct sunlight storage, periodically wipe the PU facing with a damp cloth, and check strap integrity regularly. Proper care will extend their lifespan significantly.
