Has anyone tried these? Any good? They look a lot less bulky than normal pads

At first glance they dont look like they wrap around the leg enough to me. Not sure id be filled with confidence some of the positions I get into!
Might just be the angle
-
im looking at buying some of these. does anyone own a pair? are they any good?
-
They are very light but quite stiff. The width is ok for normal people but some might prefer more wraparound protection.
The thigh pads on the other hand are the best value for money.
-
They look a bit like the pads Shaun Tait used to use. The ball used to spring off them like you’d flushed a straight drive! I think they were called Obo, which became Aero if I’m not mistaken?
-
I have a pair of aeros and they are superb, the stiffness never bothered me and protection is superb. They weigh next to nothing.
Just look a bit odd and invite a lot of sledging (especially when you are making runs)
-
^ I heard things a few times when I started using my Aeros but not so much lately. I think my Ayrtek helmet got more comments than my Aeros.
-
it looks like moonwalkr pads are not so easy to source so the aero pads will do. i can only find the p3 which are youths. i cant seem to find any adult sizes anywhere, can anyone help on this?

Online stockist?

Very good service! I ordered 3 sets last season.

I had both at one stage :-(((
Top quality kit but made you look rather peculiar and really stick out
-
Nothing new there then... I'll order some.
-
You have to make runs or have very thick skin if you're going to wear something like that - I'll pass given my erratic run scoring ability!
-
Just ordered a pair from Online Stockist. Special reduced price because they messed up one item in my last order.
Here's a picture of the whole outfit by the way :

... Not expecting any sledging with this.
Just need to start scoring some serious runs. Maybe there'll be lots of leg byes pinging off these super-pads.
Chances are they may end up being too small for me, so may end up selling them on here.
-
Bought two MoonWalkr pads. One blue and one white.
Also bought two thigh pads.
Should arrive in the next week or so.
Look forward to it.

I own a pair of the Moonwalkr pads...they are easily the best pads I've owned in 25 years of playing. They do take a bit of getting used to, as they are quite stiff and thin, but they are light as, and the protection is amazing (I've been hit flush on the pads numerous times facing pace, and have barely felt the impact). Highly recommended for those that don't give a toss about being sledged!
-
Just got mine. They do wrap around the leg really nice. Hit my shin with a baseball bat multiple times after putting them on. They feel superb. Light, compfy, stiff.
-
Mine from Onlinestockist are still stuck with relatives in Delhi. No prospect of them visiting for a few months I guess with covid over there. Maybe I'll try them next season...
-
I'll try them out at training today. Can share some insight after. So far they look really solid and I'm a sucker for 2-strap instead of 3-strap pads.
-
I got sold on the two strap thing, will order a pair soon
-
Have worn them now in 2 trainings and 2 matches. One of which I ran 13 runs in an over. Overall very light. Stiff yet comfortable. I would advice to make sure you get the size right as I think having them in the wrong size could get pretty annoying.
