Description
The Aero TruGuard P1 Groin Protector is the first cricket box built with a gyroid lattice that absorbs impact energy through controlled deformation, not your body.
Traditional boxes use rigid shells. Plastic, titanium, aluminium alloy. They resist penetration, but the energy has to go somewhere. For a hundred years, that somewhere has been you.
The Aero TruGuard P1 Groin Protector's Impact Management System works differently. A mathematically optimised gyroid lattice structure absorbs and disperses force across the full surface area, compressing in controlled patterns rather than bouncing energy straight back into the groin and pelvis. More of a visual learner?
Independent testing confirms a 75% reduction in peak force compared to rigid-shell protectors. Tested to BS 6183-2:2000. Aero P1 rated for ball speeds exceeding 160kph.
Key Features:
- Impact Management System with gyroid lattice geometry
- 75% peak force reduction vs traditional rigid shells
- 28,000N peak force absorption capacity
- P1 rated for 160kph+ ball speeds
- Independently certified to BS 6183-2:2000
- Multi-strike performance across repeated impacts
- Increased internal volume for reduced compression and better comfort
- Ergonomic shape that sits naturally without shifting
- Designed and developed in New Zealand
Tested at Elite Level
Developed over 2 years with input from Otago Volts squad members, international first-class players, and refined in match-pace net sessions before a single unit reached market. Now worn by New Zealand, Australian and South African international players.
Part of the Aero P1 close body protection system alongside the P1 Strippers, P1 Chest Protector, and P1 Forearm Protector.
