Aero thigh pad issues
« on: May 19, 2021, 09:18:35 PM »
Evening all,

Due principally to my inability to play anything on my body I'm finding I'm getting hit on the inner thigh of my back leg, and I tell you what, it doesn't half smart! I use Aero P2 strippers but I find they only seem to cover the front of the thigh and not the inner. Is there a way to re-orientate them or should I upgrade to the P1s? I tried a mate's GN Legend 360 today and the rear pad was definitely orientated in a much better position for me but they seem really hard to get hold of at the momet.

TIA

It’s the reason I don’t like Aero’s - the inner is too far around the front of the thigh.

Traditional inner thigh pads are the way ahead. I’m a fan of Remfry, although they are a bit pricey. GN, GM, Newbury do something similar.

Nothing will ever beat strettons for inner thigh shape. (Not the new terrible mouldable ones)

If you can get an old style set, then you’re laughing

I believe you can still get the original Stretton Fox guards custom made. The new ones were designed to be a more affordable, off the peg product.

Having gone through a lot of options, I have settled on the fact that there is a trade off between protection and freedom of movement.  I have stuck with my p2s as whilst they do leave part of the leg exposed, they work far better with the natural movement of the lower body than anything else I have tried.

The SFs probably offered the best protection for that area, but I found them unwearable  due to the lack of comfort
