When something comes out claiming to be world class thigh protection in the past we have been let down by and large by Uk companies naming Buchannan's and ACE as the closest we have come to a rival to the unrivaled Remfry from Australia.
In the past i have owned all the thigh pads mentioned in this thread Remfry where streets apart from anything nothing compared to the thin, light and protective qualities of them either they where too rigid and bulky in both cases with 2 other mentioned.
Strippers I'm not going to waste my time talking about there real protection sheet inside the form is tiny and there too bulky.
This might seem harsh assessments so far about the others but where talking world leaders in there field and i have to say Stretton have more than joined that field.
I wanted to do a Ashes type battle Uk v Australia of thigh pads but i know see what George meant by saying there not competing and i agree both have so many different merits and are as different as there similarities and in truth bar the similar level of protection there worlds apart in terms of design and other areas.
Remfry are a no frills made to measure thigh pads there organic and homemade in nature but are as slim and give unherleded protection until now.
Well what to say about Stretton Fox well there build quality is that of a German Car quality and performance you get the feeling great care has gone into making them just right the stitching is unrivaled the protection well i tested with a proper metal hammer on both thighs and tried it on my arm it takes all the sting out and is as good as anything.
The feel of the product the straps even a lovely bag included which just ooze class like market leader can only do they leave you feeling yes there the best.
I was worried about no fixed points they even blew that out of the water very quickly.
I even have watched most videos on them and you can only say one thing Market Leaders in many ways George enthusiasm shines through and so does the quality of the product.
My wife asked my just now which are better them or my Remfry well they do the same thing in a different way and are two totally different products.
Would i buy Remfry again? No i wouldn't i would not say these are better or worst just different and the price is better but if your buying pads of this ilk there never going to be cheap anyway there quality but the this quality is on our doorsteps.
After trying all the top thigh pads over the last 5 years including Bas who are up there as well, Stretton Fox are unique and join the market leaders because of the style and quality of the product.
I could go into specifics about thickness and procreational qualities but there very similar in that respect but yet so different.
The Uk just got even in the World class Protection field great products.
Hope you enjoy the review cheers Adam for selling me them top stuff mate
