I'm also looking for the same at the moment. Has anyway got any experience with the GN legend inner and outer thigh pads?

Could I be the only person on the forum who likes P1 Strippers?  I've had them for 7 years and they've been excellent.  Top levels of protection and they stay in place really well.  Although initially I found them a little bulky, I soon got over that and hardly notice I have them on when I'm batting.

I am a fan but couldn't get over how bulky they were. The protection was great but I'm a big chap so I was looking for something a outer and inner combo with less girth. The new GN legends looked decent but I can't find any reviews on them and Strettons are out of my price range.

Hi Leddster

Maybe the P2 Strippers would be less bulky?  The advantage for me is that they stay in place really well, I tried Strettons but didn't get on with them and went back to my Strippers!

I am wary of the Legends because they are lined with leather. Can't see it being pleasant once you have sweated all over them.

For some reason the left handed version is £27!! It's normally the other way round.

I hadn't realised that, I got sucked in my the "ballistic technology" blurb. Not sure I'd have enough talc for a leather lined thigh pad :)

If you wear compression shorts. Then a leather thigh pad won't bother you. Be nice on top of the shorts.

If you don't.  It can't feel nice once sweaty. But then people do wear leather trousers..........

I use the GN ultimate thigh set. Really comfortable and light, don't feel them when I am batting
