SG Tournament Abdominal Guard Specifications
In the high-stakes environment of Midwest tournament cricket, a split-second distraction can cost you your wicket. The SG Tournament Abdominal Guard is crafted to eliminate that distraction by providing the most comfortable, high-security fit in the SG protection range.
What sets the "Tournament" model apart is the integration of a premium padded perimeter. While standard guards can dig into the groin during explosive movements or quick sprints, the SG Tournament features a cushioned rim that absorbs the secondary pressure of an impact. The anatomically contoured shape is designed to sit deep and stay centered, providing total peace of mind when facing express pace. Built to withstand the wear and tear of a full American cricket season, this guard is an essential investment for any serious player in the USA cricket circuit.

Why SG Tournament Abdominal Guard
1. Advanced Energy Dispersion
The SG Tournament shell is molded from a proprietary polycarbonate blend that flexes just enough to disperse kinetic energy across the entire surface area, significantly reducing the force felt at the point of impact.
2. Friction-Free Comfort
We understand that Naperville summers can be grueling. The padding on the SG Tournament is wrapped in a moisture-resistant fabric that reduces friction against the skin, preventing the chafing common with cheaper, unpadded guards.
3. Trusted by the Pros
As part of SG’s premium protective line, the Tournament guard is built to the same anatomical standards used by international athletes. It provides a "locked-in" feel when used with high-quality jockstraps or compression shorts, ensuring it never shifts during a crucial delivery.
