I'm writing this with a huge smile on my face after just receiving a wonderful parcel at the office today...
So I contacted George after seeing all the rave reviews on here and loved the idea of having some custom thigh guards as my Aero P1s were now old, battered and too bulky. After a few emails and some interesting pictures of me wearing templates (will leave that to the imagination!) George recommended some sizes and we discussed customization.
Now being the huge geek that I am and having a near life long obsession with a certain Dark Knight I thought 'why not?' and went for some graphics from my favourite graphic novel 'The Killing Joke'. I decided to change the approach and went all out Joker after seeing the initial designs and I'm thrilled.
I only placed my order for these on Sunday night. It's now Thursday morning and I have them in my hands!
Obviously these won't be to everyone's tastes but I love them more than I thought I would. I just need to get bending them now, although the fit isn't far away straight out of the bag. The quotes and graphics also say a lot about my batting on occasion!
Before pictures just a huge huge thank you to George for putting up with my changes and being so great to talk with. His service is brilliant and he seemed almost as excited as me to get these out! They really are an amazing product.
Now...
A Nice bag to hold them in...

The outer designs...

Side by side with the inner design (my favourite part!)

Incredible, a huge fan of them! I think that's my favourite design so far... :)

How much these set you back mate?

These are phenomenal!!

Long Halloween is my favourite, but that looks great. Probably would help taking a funny approach to batting...
-
wow they are something special, i'd have been tempted to go with "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" ha - really top work though they are
-
they look amazing. incredibly jealous
-
Great stuff.
George is the nuts, isn't he.

I'm not a massive fan of Batman and I got rid of my last set of Strettons. These look the muts nuts and has made me think I may want a replacement set!
Instead of the plain white ones I went for last time I'd probably go for some comic themed ones, Spiderman has always been my favourites...
@Mr_Orange you may have just given me a design project and cost me a lot of money :-[
-
Thanks for the great feedback all! They are incredible and all the plaudits must go to George @StrettonFox Sports
@WalkingWicket37 Spider-man was in my original thought list but I've always been a Batman guy. My idea was to have the inner pad as the chest emblem with all the webbing (pretty much the suit design) and the front pad to be just his eyes on a black background. Hope that helps to the design project and lightened wallet!
