We're not the first people to make a groin guard. We're the first to ask what happens after impact.
The answer was a mathematically optimised gyroid lattice structure, geometry so complex it can't be made through conventional moulding. It absorbs and disperses force through controlled deformation rather than bouncing it back into your body.
TruGuard Impact Management
System (IMS)
At the heart of the Aero TruGuard is a mathematically optimised lattice structure: a three-dimensional gyroid that creates multiple pathways for energy to disperse, absorbing and redirecting 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
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.
02
ENERGY DISPERSES
Energy is redirected away from the sensitive parts of the body, not back into it. Peak force is reduced by stopping a projectile over a greater distance and time. The result: shock is absorbed into the product, not your body.
03
PEAK FORCE DROPS
Independent testing confirms a 75% reduction in peak force compared to traditional rigid-shell protectors. Reduces internal shock loading and risk of secondary injury. Tested to BS 6183-2:2000.

MULTI-STRIKE PERFORMANCE
Performs across repeated impacts, not just one

KM/H P1 RATING
The Aero TruGuard P1 Groin Protector was developed over 2 years with input from:
Otago Volts squad members (match pace testing)
International first-class players
Now worn by New Zealand, Australian and South African international players
Refined in the nets and on the pitch before release to the market.
Every angle.
Every detail.
Designed in New Zealand.
Better Protection
The Impact Management System's gyroid lattice absorbs and redirects energy away from the point of impact. The result: 75% less peak force transferred to your body compared to traditional rigid-shell protectors.
Better Comfort
Increased internal volume reduces compression risk and gives you more freedom of movement at the crease. The ergonomic shape sits naturally without shifting, so you can focus on your innings instead of adjusting your box.
Better Durability
The lattice structure absorbs impact through controlled deformation rather than cracking. Where traditional rigid shells weaken and lose integrity with every strike, the TruGuard is built to last longer than any other protector on the market.
