Afternoon all, it’s been ages since I posted for reasons that I will hopefully soon be able to disclose!
Anyway just wanted to share the latest innovation with the CBF crowd, I was asked by a few county players if I could look into a low profile chest guard that didn’t look bulky and inhibit their movement. Given my link to D3O as their brand partner for cricket I delved into the materials shed and thought placing something inside a compression top would help with the low profile aspect by pulling it tight to the body, also removing the need for straps that tend to move during play.
I then spotted an advert for a new innovative compression top in The Cricketer magazine so reached out to the guys at Exosuit to see if it was something they’d be interesting in collaboration on, my thoughts being it would offer the Pros a technicality advanced garment to bat in whilst us joe public get a top to field in and the benefit if slotting in the protection if required when batting.
They came back with a positive yes so we started work on developing a prototype for trial during the county season, these went well and as such things have progressed a little to have them used during the Ashes by a growing number of the squad out there. There’s still work to be done before we can launch it to the public but hopefully we’re not too far off!
