The Sweatband
A uniquely engineered design that gives you in-game control like no other; our patent (pending) sweatband has a hidden velcro pocket allowing you to easily change to the level of the protection you need in seconds.
Designed alongside pro athletes, our in-house fabric engineers have utilised a soft yet hardwearing cotton with a lightweight and breathable weave that snugly houses our protective guard. Our sweatband perfectly moulds around your arm you’ll forget it’s even there.
We’ve also added non-slip cuffs, meaning your band stays put and you never lose focus in the heat of the game.
The Protection
Designed from the ground, up, we exclusively use an aerated non-Newtonian material for all our protective guards.
3 key features:
It is fully flexible at rest, moulding to your arm.
On impact the individual molecules instantly lock together to form a solid at the impact site to mitigate any injury or pain and disperse the force across the whole guard.
It is aerated with CO2 making it lighter without compromising its protective properties.
We find that this offers the very best balance of protection with weight and flexibility allowing our guards to do their job without getting in the way of your game.

Here’s some great advice from our founders and pro athletes:
1. Although traditionally the reserve of cricket batters, our armguard has also been adopted by athletes playing field-hockey, baseball and lacrosse!
2. The first wear may be a touch tight; this is normal and with each wear and wash the natural fibres will relax and mould to the shape of your arm creating a bespoke fit so comfortable you'll forget it's there!
3. Feel free to mix and match protection levels and sweatband colours. It is a completely modular design so there is no need to buy a whole new kit if you want to upgrade; simply grab a new sweatband or guard in the shop.
4. The fabric of the sweatband is a hard-wearing cotton however keeping it inside your kit bag, away from velcro, will help to reduce pulled ends and maximise its lifespan.
