I'm 6'3 and got the large - they're definitely bigger than the Aero p1 set I have.

The quality is fantastic - I've taken the mallet to them and was very impressed. I've had a bit of trouble getting the inner guard to mould the way I'm after, but that is definitely down to me - maybe needs to be in the middle of the oven rather than a rack up from the outer pad.

A quick fitting video to help, let me know your thoughts!

Really good video! I gave mine a second go this morning and am now delighted with the feel. Probably going straight into the kit bag after I've had a net with them to make sure they're perfect, but absolutely loving the feel and fit.

In the video you suggest moulding the pads a bit more than needed (since they revert to a looser fit)... but how can this be done while we still have them on? Or is it, take them out of oven, strap on leg to get general shape, then take off and squeeze them extra tight ??

StrettonFox Sports · « **Reply #171 on:** July 09, 2020, 08:09:13 PM »

Yes!

If moulding onto the leg feels it needs a bit more, then afterwards squeeze them a bit more!

Has anybody who is 5�9/10 Ordered a pair yet? How have you found the sizing? Did you go for the medium one?

SurreySam · « **Reply #173 on:** July 13, 2020, 10:13:10 PM »

The protection is great with these guards, but I would suggest everyone size down. I'm 5'8" and have a small set which are fine, but would prefer them marginally (2cm) smaller in height. As I'm not one for hip protection.

Is anyone volunteering to demonstrate (with pics) why the sizes are too large ? Is it because they run all the way down to the side of the knee?

mohawks94 · « **Reply #175 on:** July 14, 2020, 08:04:49 PM »

Used mine for the first time in a T20 tonight. Absolutely fantastic!

Used mine in a practice match last Saturday. They are the large size and worked well. Oddly the much smaller inner thigh pad felt a bit awkward. I have rebaked it in the oven and we'll see how it goes tomorrow at T20. Part of the issue is that without changing rooms it's quite difficult to put on thigh pads without dropping your trousers in public.

Used mine for the first time last night. Scored 25 from 19 so not a lengthy stay but thigh pad was awesome. Tight fit and pretty much forgot about it being there. Which hasnt been the case for previous thigh pads. Also big thanks to @Six Sixes Cricket for very quick and helpful service.

As a sizing reference Im 6ft and fairly stocky and the medium is a good fit for me, certainly wouldnt go any bigger.

I had this with mine - i lined up the loop for the waist strap to be more on my right hip rather than central on the leg (inner thigh obviously) and this helped (I originally had it almost wrapping around the inside of my thigh) - also have taken to overbending them so that they almost clip on to my legs. Had a net with the new setup on tuesday and barely noticed they were there despite having some initial concerns about size.

Hey guys how are you all! Over the moon to hear you're getting on well with the latest incarnations!

Sizing does seem to be a big question here so I'm going to post a video showing how I wear my size 3's at 5'10. I believe it's all about the angle but am loving this feedback and thoughts, you're flippin' brilliant as usual!!

Thank you again and take care!
George
