Best Protective gear.
« on: October 04, 2010, 12:04:22 PM »
Right, i'm looking to buy some top line protective gear for the winter and into 2011 season.
i have contacted Steve Remfry in Aus and had a quote for inner and outer thighs making. £££££  8)
 just wondered if anyone knew of / preferred other equipment that can offer a similar level of protection and comfort before i commit to skint myself.

cheers

Strippers, not custom fit but fantastic protection and fit if you want to save £50 odd!

Ace feet in motion (i think thats their name) protection is meant to be top notch

Buchanan Thigh Guards are meant to be good too

just 3 i think it might be worth looking into!

Thigh pads are the very last thing I'd spend money on, Box, Gloves, Pads, Helmet and then Thigh Pads.

I have a full set of Inner and Outer Buchanan pads if you are after top end.

I have Ace Feet In Motion, Think they cost me £90, Good stuff, i would recommend them and saves you the remfy prices, But i would say Remfry are that much better

If you call them they will do the Inner and Outer Thigh Guard, They post you out a cardboard cut out and you need to cut it down to shape,
