A direct hit to the bare forearm could certainly cause some significant injuries to the bones that sit just below the surface.  This could mean a loss of income if you need to take from work to recover and of course missing some cricket. Why not add some protection with a Remfry forearm guard?
 
We can make your arm protection any shape/size needed. Size represents the longest length from top to bottom of the protective foam without the leather and towel overhang.
 
Put any special requests in the customisation section when ordering. Feel free to email through pictures/diagrams etc. that may help to clarify specific design features needed. You can also note if you're looking for more of a "snug" fit or maximum coverage for the pad.
