A cricket arm guard protects the forearm of a batter's top hand from short-pitched deliveries that rear into the ribs - the same ball a chest guard covers, but the arm often takes the first impact. Our range includes traditional forearm guards (covering from above the wrist to just below the elbow) and combined forearm-elbow guards for batters who stand up straight to fast bowling. Every arm guard is strap-on, left/right-specific, and sized for juniors and adults. Strict match-spec foam density across the impact zone keeps ball energy absorbed rather than passed through to bone.

How to choose a cricket arm guard

Forearm-only vs forearm-and-elbow. A standard cricket arm guard covers the top-hand forearm from above the wrist to just below the elbow. A combined forearm-and-elbow guard extends over the elbow joint — useful for batters who stand tall to pace bowling or who have previously been hit on the elbow. The combined guard is bulkier and slightly restricts top-hand movement; most batters are comfortable with forearm-only.

Left or right - match to your top hand. The arm guard goes on the top hand (the one nearest to the bowler in your stance). For right-handed batters, that's the left arm; for left-handed batters, the right. Almost all arm guards are sold in left or right versions, so check before ordering.

Fit should be snug without cutting circulation. Two straps — one above the wrist and one near the elbow — adjust the fit. The guard should sit flat against the forearm without rotating when you move the arm. A loose guard rotates during the shot and can leave the impact zone unprotected at the critical moment.

When to wear one. Arm guards are typical kit for batters facing 80mph+ bowling on bouncy pitches, and standard protection against any bowler who bowls short into the body. At club level they are optional but recommended for openers and top-order batters. At junior level they become relevant at U15+ as bowling speeds climb.
