The Bropro Vanguard Thigh Armour System is an integrated protection solution engineered specifically for male cricket athletes. Designed to help absorb and disperse impact while maintaining comfort, mobility and a secure fit.
The Vanguard delivers streamlined protection without the bulk, straps and movement issues commonly associated with traditional thigh guards. Traditional thigh protection can be restrictive, unstable and prone to shifting during play, the Vanguard changes that.
By combining advanced viscoelastic smart armour with an integrated compression like-pant system, the Vanguard helps keep protection securely positioned where it is needed most, while reducing straps, bulk and unnecessary adjustment.
Why Choose Vanguard System
The Bropro Vanguard Thigh Armour System is built specifically for the male form and the real demands of cricket — helping athletes move freely, stay protected, and perform without hesitation.
Designed to help deliver:
-
- Reduced impact force transfer
- Improved comfort and mobility
- Secure protection that stays in place
- Less distraction during play
- More confidence under pressure
- Better support for repeated impact demands
Product Overview
Unlike traditional protectors that can shift, feel stiff, or create unnecessary bulk, Vanguard is designed to sit securely within the garment for a more stable and comfortable fit.
The result is a system that supports:
- movement
- confidence
- performance
- and protection in one integrated solution
- Available for left or right-handed batters
Armour Pad Sizing
The Vanguard Pants System includes two integrated thigh armour protection pads:
Medium:
- Inner thigh pad measuring at 24.5cm in length
- Main thigh pad measuring at 35cm in length.
Large:
- Inner thigh pad measuring at 27.5cm in length
- Main thigh pad measuring at 40cm in length.
XLarge: will be available in 2027
The armour pads are asymmetric, meaning they are specifically shaped for left or right side use to support a more anatomical fit, streamlined coverage, and improved comfort and mobility during play.
Key Features
Advanced smart armour technology
Constructed with viscoelastic impact armour that remains soft and flexible in normal wear, while helping absorb and disperse force on impact.
Integrated pants systemÂ
The armour is housed within the pants to help reduce movement, shifting, and inconsistent coverage often associated with traditional protective gear.
Low-profile performance fit
Designed to minimise unnecessary bulk while supporting comfort, mobility, and a more natural feel during training and match play.
Built for cricket
Developed specifically for the movement patterns, impact risks, and performance demands of male cricketers.
Tested to Understand What Really Reaches the Body
Our Bropro Armour’s cricket protection was independently impact-tested at 50 joules using a motorcycle-derived protocol, transmitting approximately 15 kN.
Under the same internal comparative conditions, a Remfry thigh protector transmitted 25–29 kN and a Gray-Nicolls thigh protector approximately 40 kN. These competitor results are not independent certifications, but demonstrate how differently cricket protectors manage the same impact.
Bropro’s rate-responsive armour remains soft and flexible during movement, then reacts on impact to absorb and disperse energy.
Kilonewtons (kN) measure transmitted force—the lower the result, the less force passes through the protection toward the athlete.
Performance Benefits
Protection is only one part of the equation.
Repeated impact can affect confidence, focus, recovery, and willingness to fully commit in play. The Vanguard is designed to help support athletes not only by reducing impact stress, but by allowing them to move and perform with greater trust in what they are wearing.
Built to support:
- Confidence at the crease
- Freedom of movement
- Reduced hesitation under impact
- Comfort across training and competition
- A more consistent protective fit
Who It’s For
The Bropro Vanguard Thigh Armour System is designed for:
- Male cricketers seeking thigh protection built specifically for them
- Athletes who want integrated, stable protection without unnecessary bulk
- Players looking for a better balance of protection, comfort, and performance
- Parents seeking more considered protection solutions for male athletes
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the armour move around during play?
The integrated pants design is intended to help keep the armour more secure and stable compared to traditional loose or strapped protection systems. No more straps, no bulk and no hard shell.
Is it bulky?
The Vanguard is designed as a low-profile integrated system (only 1cm thick) to help reduce bulk and improve comfort and mobility. Half the thickness then traditional pads
Is this only for elite athletes?
No. The Vanguard is suitable for male cricketers across different levels of the game who want protection designed specifically for them.
Is this just about injury prevention?
No. The Vanguard is also about confidence, comfort, freedom of movement, and supporting performance under impact.

HOW
Unlike existing products, which at best, only slow down impact energy while still allowing the majority of it to transfer into the player’s body, our technology goes further. Our armour not only slows the energy but also disperses it across the entire plate, significantly reducing the impact point. Additionally, it absorbs and redirects the force away from the body – much like how airbags in cars, cushion and deflect energy to enhance protection. Impact tested against European motorcycle protection standards, with results showing 15 kN of transmitted force — exceeding the CE Level 1 benchmark.
- Energy delay – the air molecules lock together, making the armour initially hard to slow the energy force down.
- Dissipation of impact energy – it’s a process of distributing the force of an impact across a larger surface area, rather than concentrating it at a single point.
- Energy absorbing – any energy left in the armour will be absorbent and pushed away from the body
SAFETY
- Body armour is designed from viscoelastic soft memory foam with outstanding shock absorption value
- Body armour are lightweight
- Mouldable to every body shape
- Body armour are not destroyed by an impact and can still be used after
- 10 year warranty
- This product is not certified for motorcycle standard
