I can't praise my set enough super pads and George is a top bloke, always willing to give up his time and have a chat!

Just out of interest, why the Salix branding?
Are they part of the Salix product list?

Lovely set. Liking the neon glow. Wonder what theywnill look like under whites? (I fear for mine, and they are tame compared)


Once again goerge comes up trumps. Good work.

The possibilities are really endless with the Stretton Fox products and all the variations thus far seems to work well. George also deserves all the praise he receives both for the products and his excellent interaction with customers.

I hope your whites are thick. I can imagine your (No Swearing Please) will be shining fluorescent yellow!

As much as I love Strettons, I really don't like these.  I think the salix branding makes them look worse tbh...

no worries, I love them and they look great in the flesh, but everyone can have an opinion. I'm the one wearing them! you may see them up close as you are only in Surrey next year !

There is a lovely cricket ground at the top of Box Hill (Headley Cricket Club - I have been a member there for the last 19 years :o ) These would light up the ground!!

great work George

Are these a custom fit or just a custom look?

I think a budget version should be made available.

Just save up for a month and give up any non-essentials like food or electricity and you'll be able to get yourself a set before you know it ;)

I'm not sure how. The custom pads you see such as this, mine and most offers cost extra anyway.

The ordinary set is merely balistic material, covered in Velcro material oneside, soft material inner and 2 straps.

What could possible be used or left out to make cheaper? Lose the ballistic material and well you have a standard pad?

Hmmmmm, not sure about the Salix branding but the Neon colouring looks smart!

You won't be disappointed with them mate, I can guarantee that, George always makes a quality product  :)

thanks all, I was out last night so going to get them all on with the whites to see if there is any glow through them! I was using aeros before so this is a step up ;-)
