i love my strettons, don't be afraid to bend them the opposite way and hold for around 5 seconds. They'll eventually mold to your leg shape, I've had mine for about 10 months and they're fine. Just spend a little time getting them sorted. Although i didn't play much last year do to injury.

I'd never go back to my P2's.

May be good for all us that love and get on with our Strettons to show some pics on how we do the straps

May give others help and ideas to get the desired set up.

I second this suggestion. I am in the process of ordering some and am keen to see how people fit theirs.

This is what @Vic Nicholas might be referring to;



Like every swathe/fabric product it requires time to break in and mould.

Guys I've just read this thread and am so sorry there seems to be issues with fit. Also some of your usernames are tricky so I can't always tell who's who !!

Would it help if I posted a straps video regarding pads moving around etc ?... Also the "X" shaped lower leg straps are helping a lot of users.

Hope this helps & looking forward to hearing your thoughts...

Random thread revival I know but......


I want to refurb mine, and saw a used set up come up cheap, so purchased as a spare set.

Usual spiel on add. "Tried but they don't fit, move about, don't mold to me" etc etc.

I bid, I won, they arrived.

Surprise suprise. They are as straight and as stiff as the day the probably left George. 5 mins of folding bedding and holding and they fit me perfect!


I'm gonna right this in capitols as it baffles me how impatient people are that give up!

WATCH GOERGES VIDEO ON MOULDING! DONT BE A PUSSY, BEND THEM AS FAR AND AS HARD AS YOU CAN!
KEEP TRYING TILL THEY FIT.

They really are the dogs when it comes to protection and they really really do fit so well once a little effort is put in to shaping them.

I love the second hand set i bought! I use them in every net session and they offer top class protection.

I watched the vid and just gave it a go and they fit perfect. I'm very happy with mine as well.

I have a set of large P2 pads that are splitting - so will wear them whilst netting until they have had it and chuck them!
But for matches it will be my SF's! Once you get used to them and they are fitted well, there is no point in wearing anything else!
Once my 'net only' P2's have finally taken their last hit in the nets, I will decide whether to wear a normal thigh guard as I like to keep the Fox's for best!

Guys thank you so much for the feedback and support, for anyone who is having trouble with fit related issues I can't emphasise enough Bend it !!!!! It's not going to break so get in there and be aggressive !!!

Great pic of Kumar ! he does like a secure fit !

George, A video on straps would be great as I have issues with pads moving around too. Thanks

Thanks Arun, OK theres a new website going online early Feb at www.strettonfoxsports.com (replacing the blog) which will have videos and how to's. I'll do a full bend and strap video (probably won't call it that though!)

Before then, key thing is to get the corners anchored down. Traditionally thigh pads just attach in the centres or close to the middle, get the edges pinned and really get a tight fit.

Drop me an email if you need specific help, I'm always happy to chat

Cheers!

Bringing up an old thread, any one around 36" waist found the long strap a tad tight?

I'm a bit more than a 36 inch waist but George made me a fatty size towelled strap for mine when I asked nicely
