Wanted an army themed set of stretton foxes.
Goerge has been awesome since I contacted him, and his work to turn my vision to reality was beyond awesome, they look better than expected in his pic.

I saw your name on the B3 newsletter player profile. Were you in the Army , Dave ?.

Does that set contain an inner and out thigh guard and a chest guard?
-
Was gonna go black ops camo, but as our clubs nicknamed greenarmy, I thought woodland was more apt,

How much do these things cost?
I saw Pedals try on the Stig's at our net the other night, then beat the hell out of them with a mallet.
Can he do them with Pussycats all over them?

FC, just like Bond, they can have pussy galore!

Anyway........
These arrived today, with a cool note from George.
His customer service us immense, his attention to detail is too. Was a pleasure to do business with him.
Plenty of companies large and small should take note.
Mallet test passed(even my broken rib felt nothing under the chest guard)
They fitted pretty much spot on from the box, but I shall be the judge of any adjustments when I have a net Sunday.
I have an idea to stop inner thigh guard creep if it happens. See if it work before mentioning.
Stretton rules!

Is this the sort of thing that is included in the 'Fully Bespoke custom' service or is this something additional to that?
-
Is your name Smilley or Smiley?

Fully bespoke option.
For that George can pretty much do anything.
-

My name is Chris.
Nickname is smiley.
Forum name is always smilley792. As some of the American forums a frequent have a million plus members, and all the smiley+numbered names are gone. so this way i always get the same name.

I think I'm going to have to get some made up for the new season, all these posts are making me jealous! :(

A review on these.
I have done about Ten nets, and played 11 games this season.
I am thoroughly impressed, and an extremely happy customer.
Both the outer and inner thigh guard quickly moulded to my shape, I had to do the bendy trick george showed on the first two nets I used them, but since I have merely just put them on and gone.
The lightness is fantastic, once on and warming up, I forget there on.
The inner thigh guard crept in the first few Nets, but as of yet, has not in a game. Not sure if that due to being my shape now, or I've mastered my straps.
I have only been hit twice wearing them, felt neither, infact the one during a game I thought it was byes and went straight through, but the umps gave leg byes, and as I looked baffled, the stumper said it came full off your thigh mate!
Serious protection.
In the changing rooms they've had lots of looks and comments, which for a thigh pad set is pretty good, as it's not normally an item people notice.
Overall, they are money well spent, I can't see me having to buy another set for a a fair few years if at all(last set I liked was kooks and had to replace every year due to wear).
So a thumbs up for stretton fox, everyone should own a set if thigh pads are there thing.
