I thought it was just me. They do move  or more like slide down when running. The straps feel a bit rough next to skin.

Which straps feel rough to you - the waist straps or the thigh straps?  The whole purpose of Strippers is to stop your lower body protection from moving around so you can concentrate on batting and running faster.

Hi Philip 
Waist strap feel a bit rough next to skin. These are the ones which slide down when running as well. I have tried various settings, I now end up wearing them really  high.

Hi guys

It's been a while since I posted on here.  But I realise I'd been failing in my duty to you guys to keep you up to date with what we've been doing.  Without a lot of fanfare we recently released Stripper v7 into the UK at the beginnning of the current season. They won best thigh pad in the All Out Cricket Magazine gear review.  We tinker with Strippers in little ways all the time but every few years we build up a set of major changes and release a new version.  From memory v6 was released 3 or 4 years ago.

Anyway, the major changes (as always) are to the P1 model.  Because of the protective commitment around P1 (bowling speeds of up to 100 mph) the P1's thigh guards have always been considerably stiffer than those of the P2 and P3.  Consequently they have not fitted as wide a range of people as the other models do. This is especially true of tall slim people and to a lesser extent to people with very thick thighs. Consequently there has always been a trade off between protection and fit in the P1 that we have tolerated but been somewhat irritated by.  Long story short we have managed to crack this conundrum in v7.  We have kept the same foam sandwiches but manufactured them differently resulting in a much better fit to the thigh guards (not as stiff as v6 P1 and therefore they mould to thighs better) and no compromise on protection.  We have also added wider straps and two straps on the P1 and larger P2s enabling more comfort (better hamstring blood flow) and on the P1 these straps enable the thigh pads to be drawn more snugly into the thigh.  Changes to the P3 are minimal.  The feedback from our athletes who tested these changes for us has been outstanding.  So if you see the Stripper boxes in store with yellow v7 labels on the corner - you know you'll be better protected than ever.



If you have any questions about what we've done, please let me know.

I know this is going to sound really dodgy... but what do you wear underneath your Strippers?

Hi @Philip@Aero, I've sent you a PM

Yip - got your PM.  The answer is that v7 will be in store in Australia and NZ in July.  As if now they are only in the UK.

my current pre-innings dilemma...!!

[peristocle]

Anyone reviewed the Moonwalkr set yet?

[Roaster323]

I use these but I'm a noob to the forum and the game TBH.
I'm sure I'll make some mistakes along the way but this kookaburra set seem to work for me at the moment but the proof will be when I get hit I suppose.

[WalkingWicket37]

I hated those kookaburra ones, I spent a small fortune on replacement shorts and they'd never last me a whole season!

[smilley792]

I had those for three seasons and as came proclaims, kept having to buy replacement shorts as they would just wear through.


I then bought some stretton a and thought. Wow those looks were really poor, both in fit and protection.

 i can vouch for this having being a stripper user since V2 (still going strong, pong a bit though!) the velcro waist right at the front digs in to my stomach where it never seems to line up correctly. The one further around on the right hip is perfect and ive never had to move that. I think the front ine either needs to be straight of curved the other way instead of up. Happy to PM and try and illustrate more ifbyou need me to!

IMO if you have less than a 33inch waist, even the v7 P1 strippers for all of their modification with the Velcro, you are going to have them sliding down. You just can't get them tight enough with the way the 2 halves of Velcro align, and if you do (a) it's such a small contact that they come undone, or (b) the two ends of the 'belt' sag in the middle over your crotch and becomes uncomfortable, the whole thing liable to slipping, and frankly messy.

Also, to get a tight fit on the front thigh guard on is not possible on a thigh of average proportion for a 31-32inch waist, and trying to do so just causes the elastic to give out at the seams within a few hours usage.

I've gone back to P2's but still haven't found the ultimate solution to protection, comfort and maneuverability.

I dont have that problem im a fat git, but when i was a 32inch waist when i brought them i didnt have this problem again using V2 i think they are

Can't remember my P2's ever sliding down.

[WalkingWicket37]

32 inches? You do know strippers go round your waist, not just one leg, don't you? 

What on earth is a sub 40 inch waist anyway?
