Mine are fine, took a while to shape, try, shape, try, shape, add a strap here and there etc etc

Now they fit well, I mainly tinker with it during batting out of habit, not because it's needed.

Aero P1's are aweful, P2's are decent though.

Can't get on with mine at all, had them for over a year, constantly bending and moving, and yes I am being super aggressive when moulding them! Wish I stuck with my remfrys!

Never heard this before. Why are P1s "aweful"?

personally found mine to be clumsy and cumbersome and then the 3-4 other guys around me with them said exactly the same. They all moved to P2's and loved them and I moved to Fox's. Can't say I've heard anyone in the flesh say they like P1's

i can sell my p1's for £20

I split them into a thigh pad and an inner thigh pad so they are more versatile

I love my Stretton Fox set and found they fit very well. The protection is great and you feel absolutely nothing when you get hit. Saying that I have never used Aero's so can't really compare.

I love my P1s and their fit. Obviously, they are the right size for me.

When I first got my Stretton Foxes, I was about to give up on them as the inner thigh guard would creep around to the inside of my leg every time I ran.

Then I came up with an ingenius solution.

I took the extra strap they supplied (actually, they supply a few extra straps) and I attached it to the inner thigh pad and ran it across behind my back over the top of the regular strap and fastened it to my thigh guard.

What that does is that it prevents the inner thigh guard slipping out of place and everything sits exactly where it should be.

I love my SF's so much, that I would never dream going back to my P2s. I tried my P2s at training a couple of times, and I just don't feel right with them. The SFs are simply the greatest thing since sliced bread!

I can take a pic of how I configure my thigh pad set up so you can see what I mean and then you can try it for yourself.

If it is good enough for Sangakarra, Root and Williamson just to name three, it is good enough for me. In fact, even if they didn't wear them, they would still be the best I have ever worn!

That would be good to see Vic!
