in my opinon there are 5 options on thigh pads
1.Remfry...without doubt the lightest and best made,although you do pay for it.
2.A.C.E.....Similar to Remfry apart from there much heavier but still very good.
3. Buchanan's..The cheaper version but good protection very heavy compared to remfry but good protection.
4.Strippers.....Not my liking but many peoples bulky and quite heavy but new design is bringing the set up a level.
5.Various........Cheap,poor shapes poorly designed, the odd one are very good though especilly some of the Remfry copies.
