My New Stretton Fox Thigh pads
« on: June 18, 2014, 01:32:18 PM »

Gday all,

I was on here few weeks ago looking for a new thigh pad, after much discussion i too the plunge and decided to invest in quality

I have been working with George from Stretton Foxand rate his service 10/10. He has been brilliant in assisting me with my bespoke design
Hopefully be at my door in a couple of weeks where i can do another video review but here is a photo from CAD to get the idea.
Disregard the fonts on the right they were suggestions, the one i have gone for is the one on the thigh pads

Cheers
FLY

Hi mate,

Pads look lovely! I've always been tempted to try strettons.

Just out of interest, who do you play for?

Well As promised photos of my Foxes in AUS, George has done himself and the company very well, quick replies, quick postage and most importantly, the quality of finishing is superb.
George has include 2 sets of straps, the white elastic and the black towelling. I had only asked for the Black towelling but as is the man, he sent 2 sets as being based in Aus, having 2 straps is a lot safer and cheaper than posting a separate pair later down the track. He also sent a rucksack for them to be stored in so they can not get lost in my kit bag.
I have a Game on sunday in AUS (weather permitting) and I a planning to use them on Sunday but from my quick testing(wearing them and banging with a mallet) the protection on them is fantastic, they make my aeros look like cardboard and i am glad i made the purchase.
I Thank George for being very professional and understanding on organizing these and happy to give him the praise that Streton Fox deserve.

So to finish off, here are some pics. Will have a video hopefully early next week after using them

Cheers

Seriously get strettons, they look and feel so much better than aeros IMO but it would depend on the level you play, as i play a High level i need the protection

My StrettonFox are from the early days when the company was conceived, now when I see the recent ones I'm extremely chuffed at the fact that George's research has not stopped, he is continuously trying to make them better and better. For instance, name is patched, better material for sweat absorption, ventilation et cetra, someone more technical than me can speak for hours as change is evident!!

I had a spare one which I took to summer camp where Pakistani team was training and showed to few (amicable) players and all were highly impressed by it but sadly I was unable to give it to anyone due to sizing constraints.
