Wow, 110 notes for a thigh pad set, you guys that have piled in must be facing some serious wheels in your leagues, and playing some marathon innings to take advantage of their comfort and lightness.  :o Blame my baby daughter for the unsociable hour of this post by the way... 
Hey Acko really pleased you like them. Just to say I have made a removable (using the velcro) hipster which simply sticke on top, then you can move it around to get it just where you want.

As a loyal customer ;) I can make you a sample one to try out if you like, if your happy to post your thoughts on the forum afters on it it works ok  ??

Got to love the Stretton Fox tag line. Ican'tt justify the £110 to replace my £30 p2 strippers either.I'm not feeling anything in the Aeros and the cost makes my mouth go dry!

Hipsters are now available ! going to trial a few to see if they are good enough but hopefully this will provide a flexible modular solution to any existing guard by using the velcro as a platform to attach to.

Will keep images posted on my website ! Cheers.

George kindly sent through a hipster. I'll load up a pic in the next day or two with it attached etc. It'll be getting it's first outing tomorrow for my wednesday session. Used the stretton's 3 times since last Thursday already and they are great. Don't feel a thing and really comfy. Miles better than my P1's

Hello there guys. im just posting this talking about my first use with the hipster. last time i posted i had just used my thighpad set for the first time and i was blown away with how comfortable they felt and how good they where. the only downside id felt is that they didnt have a hipster and boy would you know it george kindly said would i like to try one out for him.so the hipster arrived a week or so ago and i was impressed the moment i opened up the parcel the velcro to connect it to the thigh pad is great theres no movement at all when you connect it too the thigh pad. last night i got the chance to use it at nets and so did my buddy.. and i have to say i was blown away by the thigh pads in my first net but with the hipster the comfort levels go up a notch . it moulds nicely over your hip and flex with you when you move so theres no digging in of the pad , infact its hard to notice it was there its that comfortable . Too which my buddy agrees . i have been previously using aeros and i honestly didnt think there would be anything close to them on the market for a good few years but gladly ive been proved wrong. I cant put a single fault to this product . and not just the product the customer service is something special . from paul at ijc (who i ordered from) then to getting in touch directly with george once i ordered  i can only add what i great guy george is and i was truly honoured to have anything to do with Stretton Fox. 

Thanks Dave

P.S   you've got to buy some guys !

Acko I'm lost for words! thank you for such great feedback and delighted the guards are performing so well !

The fact that the guards are 1cm thick and hold so close to the body does make them very comfortable and as a result they don't "jiggle" around when running or playing shots so there's not that constant readjustment that we all know and despise !!

Just wondering how long the standard straps are, are there different strap length's available? Just thinking for the more sizeable cricketer (me) where standard pads can get very stretched and uncomfortable.
