Highlights

No left or right to get wrong

Handed pads are a problem for a shared kit bag: half the pairs are always the wrong way round for whoever is padding up. SG make the Ecolite to suit both left- and right-handed batsmen, which for a school, a club or a family is worth more than any other feature on the pad.

Ambidextrous

SG state the design suits both left- and right-handed batsmen, so there is no wrong pair.

Layered dual-density foam

Lighter than a traditional cotton-filled pad, and easier for a young player to run in.

Five sizes from sub-junior

38-40 cm upwards, so a genuine junior range.

Hard-wearing instep piping

Reinforced where the pad drags on the ground.

Product description

About this product

Rp Ecolite Batting Pads – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

The SG RP Ecolite is a lightweight batting leg guard aimed at youth players, and its most useful property is that SG make it to suit batsmen of either hand.

That matters more than it sounds. Most batting pads are handed, because the side-wing protection sits on the outside of each leg relative to the stance – so a right-hander-s pair is wrong for a left-hander. For an individual player buying their own kit that is fine. For a school, a club or a family kit bag it is a constant nuisance: half the pairs in the bag are the wrong way round for whoever is next in, and the ones that fit are already being worn. An ambidextrous pad removes the problem.

The construction is layered dual-density foam rather than traditional cotton-filled bolsters. That makes it noticeably lighter, which is the right priority for a young player – a heavy pad tires a child, slows their running and puts them off padding up at all.

It starts at sub-junior, 38 to 40 cm, which is a genuinely small size and one most ranges do not offer.

Measure before ordering: from the centre of the kneecap to the top of the shoe, with the leg slightly bent.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to specify left or right hand?

Not for these. SG design the Ecolite to suit both left- and right-handed batsmen, which is unusual and genuinely useful for a shared school, club or family kit bag.

Is an ambidextrous pad less protective?

It is a design compromise rather than a shortcut - the protection is distributed to work either way round instead of being concentrated on one side. For junior and club cricket that is a fair trade; a serious adult player may prefer a handed pad with a heavier side wing.

How do I size batting pads?

Measure from the centre of the kneecap down to the top of the shoe with the leg slightly bent, and match that to the size chart. A pad that is too long fouls the instep and trips you running between the wickets; too short and it leaves the knee exposed.

Why is it lighter than a traditional pad?

Layered dual-density foam instead of cotton-filled bolsters. Lighter pads matter most for young players: a heavy pad tires them, slows their running and makes them reluctant to wear it at all.

Is it suitable for an adult?

It goes up to adult size and will do the job for club cricket. A player facing genuinely quick bowling will want the heavier protection of a handed pad with a reinforced side wing.

How should protective equipment fit?

Snug enough that it does not move when you do, loose enough not to restrict you. Pads should let you run; gloves should let you grip without gaps at the fingertips; a helmet should not rock when you shake your head. Kit that moves on impact is protecting the wrong place at the wrong moment.

How do I look after protective gear in this climate?

Take it out of the bag the moment you get home and let it dry in the shade. Padding and straps that stay damp in a closed kit bag grow mould and rot within weeks here - far faster than the equipment wears out from use. This is the single thing that decides how long cricket kit lasts in Tanzania.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.
