Couldn't find the Stretton Fox thread, but I ordered the new SF thigh guard set from ProDirect. Gave it a warm in the oven and it moulds to the body ok, although doesn't stay that way. My biggest observation though was the weight - these are so much heavier than my trusty Aero P2s. I'm gonna have to send them back.

I have noticed a fair few appear on eBay recently which I’m guessing people have thought the same.

Hi everyone I'm a County age group wk batsman for Warwickshire and looking for some new thigh pass. Would you recommend the remfrys of the Stretton fox. Does George still do custom?

@FraserJames123 hi, thanks for the email, I have replied on your thread.

As I said there: Fit is your friend, if they fit well they will protect you.

We have all ‘worn one’ before. Now we literally can. Might give these snowboarding shorts a try. I love the concept for the future.

There may be news. I may have bought a new thigh pad set.

Photos to follow.

I still stand by my view that I should never have sold the pair I had in page 1, post 1 of this thread. But let's not go there.

Here they are. Not had a chance to try them yet, but they look good.

They look incredibly comfortable, how much did they set you back?

Loads. 😭😂
The outer is a custom one and the inner I got off ebay this week. Just lucky they matched, so a bit cheaper

After having a set of Remfry’s for 4-5 years I came to the realisation that my outer one was just too small. I’m 6’1 and have the small size and have loved them apart from the size issue. Nothing rivals the fit and the customisation you get in regards to fit with the whole strap being being the loop rather than hook. Usually it’s reversed on other thigh pads and it’s always a small area that gets stretched over time.

I tried on other combos (Aero, Moonwalkr 2.0 etc) but once you’ve gone Remfry, you can’t really go back to others. Not even about the protection, for me it is all about the fit bit also the longevity. I am a heavy sweater and have many a long innings in mine and they are still in top top shape, bar some sweat marks on the leather and bands. I’ve seen many aero strippers at my club looking rather tatty and in need of replacing after a few seasons.

Fast forward to today and with my birthday coming up next week, I finally replaced the small size with a medium. It may seem like a small change in that the length only goes from 36cm up to 41cm, but the whole coverage of the pad is just much better, as it really wraps around my leg now, rather than having a large chunk of my rear end being exposed haha. Photos really show the size difference.

This will be the last thigh pad I need as it is the correct size now and you can send them back to Luke and he refurbs them with new towelling, leather and straps when they get a bit tatty.
