first up price 24.99
I use remfry and have done for 6 or 7 years can find no fault with them no fault at all.
Before that i had a set of obo p1 for a season or two which where good but bulky.
Strettons i have had and think there right up there bit fiddly for me and no fixed point which some like and some don't.
Now got a set of these for trials really and you know what if your after a mid range protection and comfort these are really not that bad at all.
The soft feel of the product is really good the straps a tad stiff compared with others but you get the feeling of security in them. The protection is of a decent level i do not know what level the inner fiber board is but suspect it would sit somewhere from p1 to p2 level.
Nice and stiff where they need to be but supple on the hip protector bit.
There not overly thick maybe double stretton or remfry
They come in a decent bag too it is a nice little extra.
So if your looking for a bargain thigh pad set a bit different theres are the ones they have a nice hip protector.
Will say ask for a bigger size if your above a 34 inch waist as there a bit of a tight squeeze.

overall a decent product at a ok price.
-
Tried these on last Sunday when I was at DKP cricket - very good product for the price
-
i used a pair last season and loved them.
from looking at the pictures i think mine were slightly different as the main part of the thigh pad were in a couple of pieces to help it fit to the leg tighter.
overall i loved them and highly recommend them
-
Do they not show through under your whites a lot?

I quite like the look of them, and decent for that price. My only concern is as mentioned above, showing up through whites, this is whats stopped me getting some before
-
I think they look awesome. Not all about looks though. Never really worn thigh pads so if I decide to get some I'm going to have to look for a comfy set but also not a bulky set. These may do

I didn't notice then myself showing through my whites.
Didn't get any comments even about it so I guess it wasn't a problem.
The only issue ive had is some of the stitching has come apart
-
Nice. Was contemplating between Kook Pro thigh guard and Moonwalkr. Seems like Moonwalkr may not be a bad choice considering my hip size.

Just ordered a set off the back of this review.
Will be in addition to a set of stretton fox that I got for Christmas.
I find the strettons work better next to skin so in nets etc not as perfect.

Well after a month of using them and trying a lignum vitea mallet on the. I can honestly say I'm impressed very impressed indeed.
Maybe time to rest the Remfry maybe the mallet test did not feel a thing and the hip protector on these are very flexible yet protection is top class been hit at mid 70 not a feel
Overall price and quality is top class

Any in a Large RH or just standard mens? @Ayrtek
-
I'll concur with @Giraffe208 - if you have any in a size suitable for a marginally 'larger' waist then I'll take a set from you Tom @Ayrtek
-
They are on the big side for me having tried them on and I'm 5ft 9, waist wise I'm a healthy 36" and there room for expansion still!!
-
I'm thinking longer rather than wider. Sorry chaps!
How long are they in comparison to say an Aero stripper?

Buy some strettons mate, can be any size you want.

Did anyone ever bring the Moonwalkr batting pads into the UK?

I've spent ages shaping cardboard after printing out the shapes trying to determine what i want. When i think i have it i pull the plug because the wife is the boss and too many cricket shaped parcels have arrived since we stopped playing in September!

Funny that, same moonwalkr thigh guard is re branded as Hammer thigh guard and selling them for 50 US dollars. If I buy them from India, they cost me 25 US dollars including shipping. I don't know how much affinity is selling them for

From reading page 1 £25 posted so around $35 dollars posted

D7bow,
I assume 24.99 from 1st page is in UK pounds. I order these from Indian store website, not from OLS though. Including shipping costed me about 24.65 US dollars.

yes. The pound sign still doesn't work on this bleeding forum!! $25 is great value, but if your into affinity then the mark up seems reasonable at $35 for these.
-
Take into account import tax/duty and you won't be far off the $35 anyway!
-
I am not sure you pay import tax below £34
Regardless, these are decent pads with the popular Affinity branding.
-
when i ordered my pair from india to the uk i paid about £23. so for anybody in the uk an extra £2 is defintely worth it
-
Couple of sets left if anyone else is after them 👍

Thanks very much.

1 set left, had a few Pm's/emails but no one yet to pay.
-
Still 1 set remaining after a bit of forum down time 👍
-
Now sold 👍

Used these for the first time last night and I'm very impressed. They were a lot more comfortable than my Aero P2s and easily as protective. They therefore take over as my thigh pads this year! Mighty surprised at that, but very pleased...
-
It what regards were the more comfortable than the p2s when running etc? looking for a replacement for the aeros
-
I have to say exactly the opposite, used mine 4 or 5 times now and they're too bulky and constantly need moving back to their correct position. They offer great protection, but they're just a pain in the (No Swearing Please) to wear. I've gone back to my old P2's and will probably look to buy a new set of those with the thicker straps.
-
ive used mine twice now i think. the affinity set are an improvement on my original moonwalkr pair. not quite as bulky and seem to fit better.
i would recommend them to anybody but could also see the most recent aero's would be a very good alternative.
-
any ideas where an Aussie buyer could get their hands on some?
-
Are the MoonWalkr's less or more bulky than P2's? Also what are they like weight wise? I'm looking for a set of thigh pad's but want something that you can barely tell are even there.

I find them less bulky than P1 but similar to P2.
Keep in mind they come in one size or came in one size anyway so a lot will depend on your dimensions.
And like with all thigh pads you can tell they are there, I am a fussy one but I find them better fit than aero stretton gm gn combos
-
Tom says he sold all the stock.

Nice to see another Aussie on the forum
On crowncricketer website, they have moonwalkr thigh pad combo for about $46 inc. postage which is cheap compared to other thigh pads in Australia
Hope this helps
