New Thigh Pad required...
« on: November 01, 2021, 09:48:37 AM »
Currently using P2s and are great, but battered so looking for a replacement. Dont want anyhting bulkier tbh.

Think I am going to end up getting another pair if there's nothing else of interest... Anyone got experience of the Moonwalkr thigh pads? Can you remove the hip padding?

Any recommendations please?

I tried the Moonwalkr thigh pad but went back to the p2s.  Moonwalkr was a good set up- good protection and stays in place well.  They are a bit more bulky though.  The hip protector is a fixed part of the outer thigh pad

I really want someone to try the M and H thigh pads.. They look great. The £80 price tag is a touch off putting though.

For what it is worth I am using the standard GN inner and outer thigh pads at the moment and they are not too bulky and work fine.

I have just bought my kids some SS made VKS thigh pads which are good too.

Thanks Buzz. Do you have links to the GN ones? I know you are a connoisseur of all things thigh pads  :D ;)

I am sure our sponsors will have some in stock, but the test thigh pads you can see here.

My elder son has https://vks.com/product/vks-combo-thigh-inner-guard/

Which I think are good too and largely unbranded for the kit ocd types

Did this obsession with thigh pads stem from any particular event @Buzz 😂

To be honest, not that can remember... I just think having kit that is comfortable matters.
Most pads are basically the same as are gloves, so it is easy to find softs you like. But a too bulky thigh pad, or one that is the wrong shape can hamper your movements at the crease.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm looking for a single thigh pad where the straps velcro onto any part of the pad. I often find when there is specific velcro strips it can be hard to get the perfect fit.

You could check out the new Stretton foxes. I think it comes as a combo as well as individual pad and the strap can Velcro onto any part of the  pad.

Buy some sticky back hook and loop from ebay/amazon /your local store and stick it on to be the right fit.

I have a remfry I’m looking at to getting rid of but unfortunately it’s just the outer. Really rate it but it’s just going to waste in my bag.
