Aero TruGuard P1 Groin Protector

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. 

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

• P1 rated for 160kph+ ball speeds
• Independently certified to BS 6183-2:2000

• Ergonomic shape that sits naturally without shifting
• Designed and developed in New Zealand
