Title: Keeping Pads for taller keeper
Post by: pacman75cricket on June 24, 2012, 02:02:46 PM

Any recommendations as 6ft 1 appears I maybe keeping as being doing ok + taking full length diving catch.

Was thinking of flextech do anyone know of similar style.

Or advise if other pads fit better for taller keeper.

I'm 6ft and puma one's are fine

Most if not all WK pads will be fine for your height

Kooks and GN's have same as Puma

Adidas and GM also have a modern look to them

My puma one's sit great and are very comfy

I'm 6'5 and use Shamrock test pads, really like them and they fit well. Top of the range traditional style pads
