I agree with Procricket - either buy a new set of aero stripers or some top of the range thigh pads from GM or Kook or anyone else - most i think are made in the same place anyway.

i used to use Obo as well i cut the hip protector out they asted me 2 years they were very good if not a bit bulky.

I like the remfry because after a while they feel part of you because there so thin and having used mine for 3 years now there in still great nick i even put mine in the washing machine and they came out looking new.


The feet in motion were bulkier and i have no doubt offer the same protection (i used the thigh guards for around 3 months) but found them to be like other thigh pads and very bulky and cumbersome.

It really depends what you like i'am the kind who likes small yet tightly fitted pads and gloves including thigh pads and i like them as thin as i can get them.

If you do not mind a little bit of bulk then the ace are fine but there not that much into it.

I know i go into a bit sorry but to me protection is a very big thing you do not want to spend a day at Airedale if they do not work

Yes and the fact the guy makes them in his shed behind his house i'am led to believe.

Yes they are different material than anything i have used before there made out of surgical type stuff and there thin as you can get and they weight is nothing.

I love mine i should at the price would i buy them again NO....

Because there very very good but i know through using other thigh pads (Asad does a bas one for a tenner or did) that the protection can be offered for a fraction of the cost.

In saying that they are special and i have never felt a ball through my thigh pad since i have used them and there made to measure and when your not the tallest there great to fit.

Absolutely, I concur these sentiments.

Mate, how did you put them in washing machine? Don't they get damaged in washing machine due to them being stiff and having a shape?

They look very classy indeed. Wonder what the prices are like ?. The material resembles the Morrant International pads foam.
