on a different note if you could add in anything you would like to see... eg more crazy pingpong ball thigh protection or anything else.

my concern is the apathy to this will mean Roco and I are the only people bothered by this failure to cater for tall people!

Post by: jimba101 on October 07, 2011, 03:56:36 PM: I assume there 2011 ones, bought them off pinchy in april... Seem to fit me perfect, although I'm not that fussy about thigh protection as the bounce on most of the pitches I play at doesn't get above my knees! :)

Post by: peplow on October 07, 2011, 10:34:56 PM: see, i prefer a bigger thigh pad and smaller pad top hat :)

Post by: Wolfie89 on October 07, 2011, 11:23:26 PM: Should the bottom of the thigh pad meet the top of your pads when you're wearing them? Just something I've always wondered.
Title: Re: tall men's thigh pads
Post by: roco on October 08, 2011, 06:20:45 AM: Yes that's what the shape of the bottom of the thigh guard is for to fit snug with the top hat of the pad or so I always thought

Post by: 100 not out on October 08, 2011, 06:28:04 AM: do people use inner thigh pads too. or just the outer one???
Title: Re: tall men's thigh pads
Post by: roco on October 08, 2011, 06:33:47 AM: I use both tool a while to get used to but I'm better off for it
Title: Re: tall men's thigh pads
Post by: Wolfie89 on October 08, 2011, 07:44:09 AM: Cheers Roco. Thinking about it, that was a really stupid question.
