Title: Best Thigh guard for tall players..
Post by: mo_town on February 20, 2014, 12:22:52 PM
Hello,

Can anyone please suggest what's the best thigh guard designed to suit tall players. I am 6'3" and I have had a few instances of the ball sneaking in between the pad and the thigh pad leaving a red cherry mark on my thigh *ouch*..
I am not looking to invest too much into it, so anything in the £20-£25 range would be ideal.

See if Buzz still has a set of shamrock large mens thigh pads for sale as they would suit you perfectly

Aero P1's are slightly larger than the P2.

I'm 6ft 3 and my P2's suit me fine.  Best kit outside of a Stretton Fox but i know they dont agree with some people.

Would recommend Shamrock thigh pads as above , very much underrated but offer very good protection and shape without the bulk.

VKS Players Edition Thigh Guard in the large mens size at £17.99. Top level protection and size wise you wouldn't have a problem as they are long.

I've got the shamrock inner and outer thigh set and they're very good. I'm 6'3 too and never had any problems with getting hit on uncovered areas. The only problem I've had is with the inner guard slipping out of place but I think that's easily resolved with some safety pins. If you fancy a set and buzz doesn't have them for sale I might sell mine as I've got aero p2's as we'll and don't need two sets of thigh pads.

Sorry, don't know where all these question marks keep coming from every time you try and add a symbol.
