Title: Best Thigh Pad Set for £20?
Post by: rp27 on October 16, 2010, 12:55:26 PM: I'm after a proper thigh pad set after using a set of slazenger padman shorts and finding them not entirely comfortable, any suggestions? I've looked at the Kookaburra Ice set and the newbery aegis set, and views on those?

I would also recommend the Kookaburra thigh pads, although the Ice range feels like you actually aren't waering any protection as they are that light!

Think theres an Adidas inner and outer for about that price on eBay, and they are smart, although dont know how they are to wear.....

Post by: rp27 on October 16, 2010, 01:18:47 PM: ahh, so i'd have to find a different inner :/

Post by: niceonechoppy on October 16, 2010, 01:27:43 PM: Theres a Newbery Aegis inner, personally I would get the best inner you can....

Post by: rp27 on October 16, 2010, 01:33:07 PM: Any recommendations for one?

Post by: niceonechoppy on October 16, 2010, 01:39:33 PM: I would try on as many as you can as so many vary as size. Pick the best quality, the Newbery Aegis is good quality.

If you are around 5'10-6'2 the GM original LE inner is very good.

Post by: rp27 on October 16, 2010, 01:45:22 PM: Yeah thanks, I'm not too sure how many i'll be able to try on though, as my local shop doesnt have the widest selection of kit.

Post by: SempreSami on December 30, 2010, 03:04:18 PM: I'm using the GM Originals, had an LE in mens but it was quite frankly massive on a scrawny 5'11" person such as myself.
