Anybody here use(d) them? If so how good is the protection and are they value for money? Been looking to get a pair for a while but haven't been able to stump up the �30-40 that the online shops want.

When I first used them they were fine. Not too bulky and do the job well enough. They leave some fleshy parts exposed but all off the shelf models are likely to do that!

Now the annoying sales bit from a fox fan, they might cost twice as much, but you cannot beat stretton fox thigh pads. They will be customised so you don't get the dead legs from fleshy parts and are lighter than the strippers. They're less bulky and fully mould to your leg. If you can find the extra cash it's well worth contacting George and getting some foxy protection.

As a p2 user, I'd say this. Look at the level of cricket you are playing. Is it premier league or equivalent? Yes? Look at strettons or p1. No? You'll be fine with p2s and you won't be paying through the nose.

P2 are fine just make sure you get the measurement right. Quite a few brands are doing similar combo at lower prices, it will be worth looking in to. Aeros hold their value better than other guards in their range so if you don't like them you will be able to recoup some of the money.

I swear by my P2's. They are comfortable and offer more than adequate protection for the standard I play. I have only been hit in a fleshy part once and that was by a bowling machine when I got myself into a tangle. Has never happened in a game. I am so comfortable with them I happily leave awkward ones on my thigh and let them hit me rather than risk getting the bat involved.

Personally I have gone back to using P2's over stretto as for the me the comfort from my P2's was better. The protection from the strettons is without doubt better but even in championship cricket the aero's offer ample protection against the pace I face which is around mid 70's I would guess.

If �30 - �40 for a pair of Aeros is a bit steep to see if you like them, try and pick up a cheaper alternative off of here, so you can see what you think of this style of protection.

I can't remember who it was, but some decent bloke is selling an equivalent pair at a giveaway price in the for sale section.

He must be a great guy as no-one has taken them off him for this highway robbery price yet!

Swear by my P2's. Extremely comfortable, good protection etc. One of my favourite bits of kit.

Soulman - nice to see someone else who has gone back to P1 / P2s having tried Stretton Fox. I loved the quality of the Foxes but just couldn't get a comfortable fit whereas I don't notice my P1s when I'm wearing them and they are quite a bit bulkier than P2s. I don't really need the protection of P1s these days but I'm going to wear them until they wear out.

Montys Beard · « **Reply #12 on:** June 30, 2014, 01:02:11 PM »

I've got both P1's (here in Aus) and P2's (back in England) and love them. Never had the pleasure of trying Stretton Fox yet but but you can't really go wrong with the P2's mate...

calcurtis98 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 30, 2014, 01:11:16 PM »

Looks like I'm going to get the P2's guys, I will use these and then when I'm regularly in the seconds/firsts in a few years I will look to invest in the Stretton Foxes.

petehosk · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2014, 03:48:57 PM »

Strettons are a big investment but they will last for years!!
I have strettons which I'm "bedding" in and netting with them. I'm using P2s for matches this season.
Then I'll start using the strettons next season - it helps that the Strettons are washable
