Thanks to Alex Wakely of Northants these have now reached the pro circuit, drops off the Middlesex, Glos and Northants.
Just to make it 100% clear these aren’t intended to be a rigid structure like an actual arm guard hence the hybrid terminology, they are aimed at players who wouldn’t wear a forearm guard but would use these as they are a flexible option that will provide protection via the D3O layer if hit. The dual purpose element obv coming by having a sweatband that can be used to mop up sweat whilst you’re at the crease too 👍
