What’s Inside the Box
High performance alloy
Our aluminium shell is specifically formulated to be strong and resilient against hard ball impacts. Our shell consistently withstands multiple impacts at top end bowling speeds.
Flattened edges
Protection shouldn't leave gaps. Our flattened-edge design increases surface coverage and stabilises impact zones, helping redirect force - resulting in broader protection without reducing movement.
Shock absorbing dual foam
We use two separate layers of foam, one harder and one softer, which our R&D has shown improves player comfort (both in normal use, and during impacts). Both foams are an advanced polyurethane compound for improved shock absorption compared to typical foams used in sports gear.
UNIQUE SHAPE
Our unique silhouette is shaped for performance: reducing bulk, eliminating pinch points, and improving fit under pressure. It sits naturally, moves freely, and feels like it belongs there.

Testimonials
Trusted at the crease when it matters most.
"Cover is genuinely a superior product to anything I’ve ever used. After years of playing cricket, I know exactly what that kind of hit usually feels like and this was completely different. I didn’t feel a thing.
Beyond the protection, it’s incredibly comfortable. The jock strap is more dynamic from a training perspective, making it easier to put on, take off, and use day-to-day."
Henry Blackwell, Club Player
"Couldn't recommend more, the fit and comfort of the jock strap plus the box is unreal. Truly feels like Cover are redefining what protection should feel like!!"
Adithya Ashok, International Player
"Comfort plus protection. Great design. Highly recommend."
Katene Clarke, International Player
"Next level protection and the best jock strap. Been hit a couple times already and you naturally expect pain but it never comes"
Peter Younghusband, International Player
"Fantastic box and thoughtful design! Highly recommend."
Dane Cleaver, International Player
"This box is fantastic. Super lightweight I barely even felt it was there. It’s so comfy and easy to use. The jock strap keeps things secure and the adjustable straps caters for all sizes. Couldn’t recommend this more highly."
