the wife has given me the bank card (she been drinking) what the price of the badgers bespoke and non bespoke???

Are they better than remfry???

A non-bespoke thigh pad set is £110, and a bespoke one is £165.  In terms of the Remfry question, Uzair is a better person to ask as he's used both...

Also wanted to say a big thank you to Uzair, Dave and Buzz.  Without your insight and advice, guys, this video wouldn't have been possible.

If anyone ever wants to do a thigh pad video, I urge you to contact these guys - they are the experts!  8)

A quick query, how does a custom order work do I give specific measurements of my legs of the part I want to cover?    I'm not taking the mickey just that my P2 stripper guards arent exactly great and a custom thigh guard might be the ticket
Thanks!

Yes, exactly. You can also get it personalised with your initials, flags and various other things. You can get a template from George if you want to go down this route...

Yes, I believe Remfrys are slightly lighter, but didn't want to mention this without being able to prove it in the video.

Used my set for the first time tonight. and i cant believe how much comfier they are compared to the aeros. only down side is they dont have hipbone protector like aeros and price is steep .... overall in my opinion .. best on the market (although havnt tried remfry)

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...
