that is shocking - you should ask for the CCTV footage to track it down.

I got myself a pair that the stretton fox guys had used in one of their videos bashing it with a mallet on the cheap - used them at the lords net, pretty comfortable - Paul was talking about moulding them to your thigh? Any ideas?

Yeah, Scott and I asked at reception on the Saturday at the expo if anyone had handed them in, couldn't find anything though.

yes - you bend and shape them to fit. requires a bit of force but easy enough to do.

Tip is to bend and hold them not just bend them as will mould quicker but are best thigh pads I've used and I've been in a journey not as much as buzz but close to find right thigh guards

That is truly shocking

On the stretton/benson fox website it mentions strapless pads, the only ones I've seen have had straps. Does anyone have any pics or info on the strapless ones?

'BASE LAYER SHIELDING
This technology is 100% strapless, straps are often uncomfortable and can even produce abrasion injuries when worn for long periods of time.

Our bespoke guards/shields are held in place by Benson Fox seamless knitted baselayers. Maintaining consistent and even pressure thus holding the guards in place.'

You just take straps off as both ends are Velcro so whole strap can be taken off and pad slid under base layer

Benson Fox is different to Stretton Fox - and uses different technology and ideas. George did start off with Mr Benson, but they went their separate ways.

Paul at IJC will be doing them I think
