Activate On Impact
Impact Management
System (IMS)
Aero TruGuard is a mathematically optimised lattice structure: a three-dimensional gyroid that creates pathways for energy to disperse and absorbs force through controlled deformation.
HOW IT WORKS
FORCE DISTRIBUTES
Advanced lattice geometry absorbs energy on impact. The structure disperses force across a wider surface area rather than concentrating it at a single point like a rigid shell.
01
GYROID COMPRESSES
The three-dimensional gyroid creates multiple pathways for energy to disperse. As impact travels through the wave-like lattice, energy is absorbed progressively rather than transferring instantaneously into the body.
02
PEAK FORCE DROPS
Independent testing confirms a 75% reduction in peak force compared to traditional rigid-shell protectors. Tested to BS 6183-2:2000.

THE ATHLETES
“I’ve tried a lot of cricket boxes over the years, but TruGuard is on another level. It’s slightly bigger than the standard box, which actually gives me much better coverage and peace of mind at the crease. Despite the extra size, it’s surprisingly comfortable and sits really well — no constant adjusting between balls.
If you want maximum protection without sacrificing comfort, the TruGuard box is an absolute game changer. I highly recommend it for any serious cricketer.”
— Henry Cooper, Northern Districts
“I’ve tried single, double, and even triple box setups. They were heavy, uncomfortable, and constantly required adjusting. Despite all of this, I never felt that well protected.
It’s a totally different story with TruGuard. Yes, it’s slightly bigger than a regular box, but it’s extremely lightweight and sits very comfortably, without needing adjustment every time you move.
In the short time I’ve had it, I’ve been struck a couple of times and barely felt a thing.
— Thomas O’Connor – Otago Volts
“I didn’t realise how ineffective and uncomfortable my double box setup was until I got my TruGuard. Putting them side by side was almost embarrassing, and showed me how superior the TruGuard was.
Now that I’ve got my TruGuard, I feel much safer and more secure. Not only is it comfortable, but it also gives me the confidence to go out there knowing that even when facing the fastest bowling, if I miss the ball, it won’t ruin me.
I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”
Jake Gibson – Otago Volts
OUR STORY
During training, Ruben Clinton experienced what thousands of cricketers know all too well. He took a delivery to the groin while wearing premium protection — a rigid shell designed to resist penetration.
It stopped the ball from crushing impact, but the energy had nowhere to go except into his body.
The result: internal injury, surgery, and weeks away from cricket.
“I was wearing the hardest box available,” Clinton recalls. “It did exactly what it was designed to do — but I still ended up in hospital.”
That experience exposed a fundamental flaw in an entire product category.
Hardness doesn’t make force disappear — it simply redirects it straight into the most sensitive part of your body.
