yes they are rigid, and you heat them and then fit them to your leg.

the straps are all velcro so you can have them fit them how you like.

there are hoops around the top of the inner pad.

they can be any colour you like.

Many thanks for your insightful reply Buzz, I appreciate it.

All sounds good, I'm actually quite tempted to try them out.

I think gray looks the best, a sublime innovation.

Once again many thanks

the answer is that is part up to George and part up to the retailer involved. Currently, unless it is a totally custom order - which is the slightly more expensive option, the orders are being placed through Owzat cricket, however I am trying to persuade George to use one of our sponsors

As far as I know, Roco's are the standard large mens size. Mine are standard mens inner and a custom outer in between the large and standard mens size. They do two shapes to, the standard UK style and the more asian style like the bas ones

these look lush! I think there might be a minor few design issues, but I'll wait and see what the Buzz has to say about it.

Interesting to see that they use "standard" elastic rather than the remfly "Velcro elastic"

Interesting to see how you guys get on with them, nice to see them in the market place too. hope they do well, look like a high class set up any road.

Buzz , I have you seen those Gary's hockey shin guards, the white ones with a blue foam lining, I think it might be the  same stuff, I often though it would make excellent stuff for thigh guards.
