They look good, although the inner guard could do with covering the inside of the thigh a little better.
Seem a similar product to another I have seen, but can't remember where.

I agree with Buzz on this.
But they look good no doubt.

I would say they that they are an exact replica to the moonwalkr ones with hammer logos.

Replica. Or merely made by moonwalked for hammer.

Never heard of moonwalkr until this thread does anyone in the UK stock? How does the dark blue look under whites? Surely they will show through?

I only briefly watched the youtube video, but it seemed to me that the outside thigh pad was really short.
Covered the hip well, but would leave a huge gap between leg guard and thigh pad.

They look exactly the same as my moonwalkr ones. I haven't seen the ones from affinity but I think somebody said they are also the same.

I love my pair and use them over my p2 as they are less bulky and have thicker straps so move less. Protection is also decent.

I haven't noticed the blue colour through the trousers.

I couldn't take it seriously when he compared them to Remfry & Stretton Fox guards!

Looking at the design (and by the fact they're an off the shelf product) aren't they more a direct competitor to Aero Strippers than the bespoke heavyweights of the thigh guard world?

Asking $50 for those seems a tad excessive. However a great mark up for what you can get them via moonwlkr for

I haven't seen one review from him that I could take seriously.

@skip1973 that's the first one I've actually watched and I don't think I'll be catching up on his back catalogue on the back of it...
