[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Exciting times. We have had the great fortune of meeting with Stretton fox and have come up with our own range of thigh guard.  What's different you may ask. Well using my vast experience in both club cricket and my career as a professional cricketer being on the receiving end of the likes of Alan Donald, Courtney Walsh, Shoaib Akhtar, Darren Gough to name but a few ( I wasn't good enough to get out the way) we have evolved a shape of outer and inner thigh pad to give maximum protection whilst maintaining freedom of movement and so lite you will forget your wearing it. This shape is unique to us and will obviously have our classic look about it.
  These are in production at the moment and as soon as we get them through we will post some pics and hopefully give some reviews about what some top players think of them.
  We will be taking orders and will be ordering a small quantity so keep your eyes open for the pics of what I know will be one of the best products on the market.

Great stuff, good to see some collaboration between the brands and retailers on here pairing up to benefit both parties involved as everyone benefits including the customers.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say thanks to Paul for his time last Friday and that I am delighted Aldred are looking to have "Stretton Fox Inside!!" I will ensure the look is in keeping with the aesthetic and handwriting of Aldred Cricket in order to compliment the range as best as possible, so get your hammers out !!! PS LOVE the shape of the outer thigh, your so covered you may as well have a roman shield in front of the batsman !!

Do you have a price point yet?

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Well othe idea of price is that it is going to be similar if not the same as strettons pads. That's why we have developed our own shape that gives in my opinion the maximum coverage to all styles of player against all standards and style of bowlers. We will be able to offer a bespoke service but his proves to be incredibly expensive to the average player hence we have looked to cover all scenarios in one great set of thigh pads. We will put the prices out on launch.paul

Am waiting for the delivery of our first set like a little kid waiting for Santa. Will post pics as soon as I can with me wearing them with pads so you can see to maximum effect how we have designed them to give great protection in the key areas whilst maintaining freedom of movement. Come on the post man hurry up.

Ok guys they have arrived just taken some quick pics will do some more over the weekend. As you can see I have designed these to cover the areas most players will get hit and then some. These aren't bulky in any way either and once you have moulded them to your shape they sit very snugly to your body and you barely know you have them on. As you will notice on some pics for those who want the extra hip protection I have had a hip pad made to attach if required. I don't personally use one but I must say it doesn't feel bulky in any way.
   These are a design that is like having a custom fit as it does really cover virtually everything and are comfy as. Every part of the thigh guards are shaped and contoured to fit snugly around the pads.








As you can see with the last two pics they are not bulky in any way under your clothing in fact they are noticeably smaller in profile than a general thigh pad with more protection.
Will do a video or something over the weekend and get all the prices up. They will be the same as stretton fox anyway.
Hope you like
Paul
