I could be wrong, but I thought George has a version 2 off-the-shelf 'softer' thighpad set in the works? Might be worth waiting for if that's right.
In any case, I've a pair of customised Stretton guards, and they're flippin' great.

Hi Woodyspin and thanks everyone for the very kind comments!

I'd honestly say if you are happy with what you have from a performance pov then stay with it. The most important part is the protection and how comfortable you feel as a batter. If you feel vulnerable or not secure at the wicket, that's going to influence your game as you may not commit properly to shots. Every one has their own preference to what works and 6 years of something working for you sounds good!

My only suggestion is if you know anyone who has a set to try them out in a net session, but, if you're happy with what you've got and it ain't broke... )

The custom side of things is very cool and it's the most fun part for me working with players who want something really personal, it's like getting a suit made for you. Not for everyone! but it's always good to know the options there.

Hope this helps :)
George

The off the shelf range is making progress and will be selling for about £40-50 for a set of thigh pads, they are soft and flexible and offer about 80% of the protection which is still absolutely loads!

Off now to the factory to look at the samples, we're making progress but I'm very fussy!

Thanks everyone i'll keep you updated!
