A thigh pad protects the front thigh from the short ball that rears up off the pitch - the deliveries that a front-leg pad isn't designed to stop and that the batting pad doesn't cover. Our cricket thigh pad collection includes traditional strap-on outer thigh pads, inner thigh guards that protect the gap between pad top and abdominal guard, and integrated thigh-pad shorts that combine both into one wearable layer. Every option is sized for adults, juniors, or combo pairings, and uses high-density foam over the impact zones rather than the lightweight foam used in training-only pads.

How to choose a cricket thigh pad

Outer, inner, or both - know what you're protecting. An outer thigh pad covers the front face of the leading leg (for a right-hander, the left thigh). It stops a short-pitched ball angled into the body. An inner thigh pad covers the back-leg thigh above the batting pad, where a ball squeezing through between bat and pad frequently ends up. Players at all senior club level should wear both; lower-level and junior batters often wear just the outer.

Thigh pad shorts vs strap-on pads. Strap-on thigh pads are cheaper, easier to adjust during play, and work with any base layer. Thigh-pad shorts integrate the foam into a compression short, which doesn't slip during running between wickets and sits flatter under whites. Shorts cost more and are harder to adjust on the fly, but the fit-and-forget convenience is worth it for most adult players.

Foam density decides protection. Match-grade thigh pads use compressed high-density foam, sometimes with a rigid PE outer shell over the main impact zone. Training-only pads use single-density flexible foam, which is lighter and cheaper but compresses permanently after a handful of impacts — fine for nets, not appropriate for match cricket. Check the product specs before ordering.
