About to give up
« on: March 14, 2015, 10:41:46 AM »
Love the idea love the bespoke design but just can't get them to fit and stay in place
Really annoying as I love them but after using them for nets over the winter I am ready to ditch.....as I can't be adjusting after every ball faced any advice on fitting would be good as they are obviously going to lose me a few quid as I doubt I could really get much selling them on as they have my initials on them......

Have you moulded them enough? I found it took a while to get them to mould to the shape of my legs. Also, how many straps have you used? I used three for the outer and two for the inner to make sure they stay in place.

You should be able fit them so you almost don't need straps. How aggressive have you been on adjusting them?

Georges advice. Don't be afraid to bend. Them proper man handle them. Bend them fully the wrong way. And then all the way back round.


Mine fit perfect. They mould to me and once on I forgot they are there. Love them.

I must admit i do struggle to find a comfortable fitting for the thigh pad - i've ditched the inner guard. 

Fitting seems fine just seems to need adjusting every couple of balls in the nets, thats without any running between the wickets to contend with....

Having gone back to Aeros from Strettons I looked into most options.
The P1s are excellent protection, but I personally prefer the less bulky P2s personally.
Another added bonus is they're cheaper, and offer enough protection for most club players  :)
