New Balance Heritage 800 Cricket Pads (2027)

The New Balance Heritage 800 cricket pads are a batting pad built for players of all abilities, from juniors finding their feet to adults looking for dependable lower-leg protection at the crease.

The front is made from high grade PU, backed by a modern seven bar construction with cross link foam padding to take the sting out of a quick delivery. The vertical bolster combines Litlon, soft foam and mesh, while the horizontal bolster uses three sections of padded Litlon foam, so the protection is spread sensibly across the shin and knee area. An instep section, also Litlon padded and covered in PU, adds protection where it counts when you are playing off the front foot.

Getting them on and off is straightforward too. Nylon straps are paired with easy release PU tabs, so you can fasten up quickly before you walk out and unbuckle without a fuss when you are back in the pavilion. If you want a straightforward, well-padded pair of New Balance batting pads for the season ahead, the Heritage 800 is worth a close look.
