Stretton fox strapping photo database
« on: December 30, 2017, 04:26:03 PM »
Hi everyone thought I'd start topic for photos of how people strap up there Strettons. Appreciate there similar topics but most of the photos now don't load. ill post how i do mine when I'm home my new year but below is screenshot of the design i went for. Really happy with the look and protection added a hip protector, find getting pinned flush on the hip bone nearly as painful as one in the crown jewels.

I strap mine in the usual fashion, one long band around the waist and then one each around both thighs..... I didn’t realise there was an art to this strapping?

Did you change the shape or get the standard stock shape?

From memory think my shape was the usual mens size but with the extra hip protector.

I was expecting a few gratuitous 'meaty man-thigh' shots on this thread

(That includes you Eeyore!)

Got extra straps from George

I use long bands on both pads as easier

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

No straps ! Just use them under compression tights/shorts .

I was going to do that as well, because faffing about with the straps takes a while. But it kind of defeats the point of having compression leggings in the first place.

I dont find it defeats the point at all ( unless your point is to have a layer of clothing between your thigh pad and thigh to avoid sweat buildup ). Your thigh is just as compressed as usual .

I can confirm with strettons on top of compression shorts the straps slip all over the place.

I have SKINS compression leggings which are constructed to wrap around and support  specific muscles. Shoving thighguards between them and the muscles they're meant to support means they can't do their job that well. Might be different with other brands though.

I bent them to fit me, so they barely move without straps..

I then strap them as normal. One round the top and through the inners loop. One each at the bottom. No extras or x straps and they don't move
