The modern age of cricket might call for a more swashbuckling style of play, but often this means higher risk. When you put your body into unusual positions to hit the ball around the ground, the chance of getting hit by the ball increases. Fortunately, the Shockwave 800 is the perfect teammate.

The Shockwave has a name that promises much, and a look that delivers. The cold blue of the Shockwave batting pads catches the eye immediately, with the angular, fractured pattern design suggestion the carnage the Shockwave range promises to create.

However, what is a look without performance? To match this high octane design, our design team had to ensure fantastic performance for the modern game. High-density foam bolsters with cane rods help the leg guards deliver, giving a tremendous amount of protection on the front of the pad, with burdening the user with excess weight.

Further protection comes in the form of the ¾ length Diffuser foam wing. What does this do? Often, the side of the leg can be struck, with little or no protection against the fierce blow. The foam wing will repel even the fastest bowler without concern.

The EVA knee delivers extra flexibility and protection with Poly-Armour. With the need for increased movement and flex at the crease, the new knee area will allow batsmen to move freely, and with confidence.

Of course, whether you are playing T20 or a Test match, we want you to experience outstanding comfort no matter the length of your innings. The Vapour foam instep will ensure exceptional comfort for your shin, ankle and foot, meaning you can merely concentrate on batting for as long as possible.

You've got your leg protection sorted with the Shockwave 800 leg guards. Now it's time to get out there and show what a Shockwave batsman can do. We can't wait to see your results.
