Last week the team got along to Icehouse Ignite, where • Grant Elliott shared the story behind Cover.

From the original insight through to product development, and the thinking that’s shaped it along the way.

He also spoke to the parallels between high-performance sport and building a business - resilience, teamwork, preparation, and decision-making under pressure.

Across the day, it was great to hear about the level of innovation coming out of New Zealand and the ambition behind Kiwi entrepreneurs performing on the world stage.

A few cricket balls may have also made their way into the crowd!

A big thank you to the Icehouse team for putting on a great event, and to everyone who contributed across the day. We’ll be back.

From cricket to hockey, the feedback keeps coming in 🏏🏑

Players across codes are telling us the same thing - Cover is comfortable to wear, easy to move in, and most importantly, does its job when it matters most.

Whether it’s fielding in close or defending penalty corners, confidence in your protection changes the way you play.

Lightweight, secure, and built for the realities of modern sport.

Built different 🛡️
Built for impact đź’Ą

Before Cover ever reached the field, we spent years analysing existing protection, testing prototypes, and pushing materials far beyond industry standards.

But the modern game has moved faster.

While current standards serve the baseline, we engineered our products to withstand impacts of 200 km/h - testing countless designs to ensure they stand up to the extreme realities of today’s elite-level pace.

No guesswork. Just relentless impact testing, athlete feedback, and refinement.

Earlier this year, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the T20 World Cup following a groin injury sustained in training.

Fast forward a few months and he’s back on the world stage in the IPL, this time wearing Cover.

Last night, as the Lucknow Super Giants took on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Marsh took a direct hit from Josh Hazlewood.

The kind of impact that can end an innings, sometimes more.
This time, it didn’t.

No injury. No disruption.
Just a thumbs up and back to business.

For us, this is what it’s all about.
Not theory. Not lab tests.

A proud moment for the team.
Real-world proof at the highest level of the game.

Play with confidence.
Play with Cover.

For decades, sports protection hasn’t kept up with how the game is actually played.

That’s why we started Cover.

Built on a simple idea, to apply real engineering discipline to protection.

Thousands of hours of impact testing.
Dozens of prototypes pushed to failure.
Input from experts across engineering, materials, manufacturing and elite sport.

The result? Protection designed from the ground up.
Built on evidence, not assumption.

A great day out, for a better cause 🏏

We were proud to partner with Movember and The Alternative Commentary Collective for this year’s Battle of the Balls.

Good cricket, plenty of laughs and a chance to put a spotlight on testicular cancer and men’s health - the kind of conversations that don’t happen often enough.

A reminder of what sport does best: bringing people together and giving those conversations a place to start.

Congrats to the Movember New Zealand XI, who took home the Cover Cup 🏆

A big thanks to everyone who made the day happen, we’ll be back next year.

We’re a few weeks on from launching Cover 🏏

We put the product through it's paces with the team at The Crowd Goes Wild, and it’s now in use by players across all levels of the game.

From international and IPL cricket through to club level - in both training and match conditions.

The feedback is consistent: more confidence, less distraction, and improved performance.

That’s exactly what Cover was built to deliver.
