They definitely seem to be becoming more popular on the telly Tom.

I used mine for the first time on Saturday and found it really comfortable. Didnt actually have any use for its major features, 1 it was only one degree so struggled to get a proper sweat on and 2 didnt get hit. Having hit myself with a mallet with it on though I have no doubts the protection would be there should it be called on.

Haha yeah its a bit nippy out today to say the least. Good to see others going about it in a different method though by using a rigid outer layer but the route I've opted for hopefully means that it doesnt hurt if you do use it to mop your brow!

Just received my 6" unbranded armguard from Ayrtek cricket - really happy with the purchase, very comfortable, lightweight and not bulky at all with ideal protection. Would thoroughly recommend everyone has one of these in there kit-bag!  :D

Great to hear you’re happy with it, I stuck up a short video and some additional info last night on the social media channels for those interested.

The unbranded ones have sold out again now but I’ll hopefully have some more shortly.

I can do if there a demand for the stubby ones?

If anyone else wants a 4 inch one shout and I’ll do another batch run.

I've been trying it out at nets. It's really comfortable. My only comment is that you could make a longer version. It really only covers my lower wrist (I have long arms). I am wearing it below a smallish elbow guard that protects the rest of the forearm.

Not that I ever get hit there. Place I get hit is on the inside right thigh just above knee and below the thigh guard normally from the bowling machine when aimed at leg stump. Are you planning to introduce some kind of leg guard in this material? Maybe the new Stretton Fox range will cover this if it ever materialises...

George has the thigh pad area pretty well covered with his products, they could be made longer yes in theory but using a different module and having a longer sweatband manufactured.

I thought the same thing, one of these modules as the entire thigh guard, really light, flexible and unobtrusive.

They use them in motorobike suits and in cycling to help reduce the impacts so don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t work as a thigh pad.

The thigh pad is a great idea, in particular the inner thigh area. I use Aero P2 which are great overall, but i often find myself having to push/ adjust the inner thigh pad area around to protect my inner thigh otherwise it is exposed. I can never understand why most thigh pads on the market only seem to protect the front area of the thigh. This is fine if you are squared up and get hit (which is very rarely unless pulling and it keeps low). Most players are side on in there stance and the inner thigh is obviously the most vulnerable area. I think an extra inner thigh pad that is lightweight with D30 protection would be really popular.

Surely it would just be the same as the Padman shorts that a lot of people use? Maybe manufacture the D30 inserts for Padman shorts?

There’s lots of different modules that D3O produce that could pontetisllg be used but as @Wozaboxa says they’d be inserted into a padman short type of figment.

I’m not one or try and reinvent the wheel as I think between Aero and Foxy they have done a great job in offering solutions to thigh protection.

Possibilities are endless with that stuff, wonder if we'll ever see a move away from traditional pads and have something that wraps around the legs but fully flexible? Like a compression leggings with all the padding needs? You'd probably end up looking like RoboCop!

I obviously play too low level cause i dont really need thigh pads, doesnt hurt that much. Although if you released the above stitched into a onesie under layer ive played with a few that would buy it. Just to field in ....
