i got mine posted for about £22 i think from an indian supplier.

i would say they are in competition with aero strippers certainly not a touch on the stretton fox thigh pads i had.

i didnt actually watch the much of the video

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

Yep, like ecplipse all sports, they're not reviews they're just adverts. "This bat is absolutely amazing in every possible way!" about every single bat they sell, what use is that to anyone?

Such nice people on this forum. Calling the bloke a donut....
Seriously, why don't you yourself do a review on anything? It's easy to criticise but harder to have a crack and do one yourself.

I think the critics are referring to the fact that he has taken a cheap thigh guard set made my moonwalkr and has branded them as his own and states they give protection on par to Stretton Fox and other high end sets. Plus his mark up on the pads are high to what you can them from the source.

I don't think people are saying he is a terrible chap just very elaborate in his descriptive terms.

It's a sales pitch not a review.

Let me do a small reveiw of these since I own a set of these "Moonwalkr" & Aero thigh guard.

Protection - Very Good, as good or better than Aero
Design & Make - Very Good, very flexible, more body shaped than Aero but I am sure (as I don't own but know) not as body shaped as what Strettons are.
Value - Value for money if bought directly from an Indian supplier
Cons - Marginally heavier than Aero, hip protector is really big and feels awkward (biggest turn off for me)

I am around 5.10 in height and the std. mens size Moonwalkr thigh guard is slightly big for me specially the Hip guard, I would love to use one without the hip guard else I would probably have to try Youth size in this maybe. On using it I don't notice it much and it protects well, straps and everything is well made.

I use Aero in matches & these Moonwalkr in nets till the time I get used to it's hip protector.
