Title: Flix Aero style thigh guards
Post by: PedalsMcgrew on September 20, 2012, 09:17:09 AM
I'm sure we've all seen them on eBay...! Surprisingly no mention of them on here at all, are they that bad?!!  :D  I've always skipped over them as they look like cheap imitations of strippers (which is exactly what they are) But before I completely dismiss them (the old adage of 'you get what you pay for' ringing in my head) has anyone actually got any experience of them?

Could be a cheap option just for netting in...

Thanks chaps....

Thank you gents, I knew the knowledge on here would provide me with all the answers and, it looks like, a few alternatives as well!

I do love a good thigh guard!!  ;)

When I was in Pakistan this summer playing club cricket lots of guys had these imitations of Aero Strippers, they offer good protection actually.

Those ones were locally made in Pakistan.
