Shock doc shorts with box

that's what I have gone for. Don't mind forking out for that sort of gear. That and a helmet you can't put a budget on really

Yeah, not sure I wanna spend that much!

Also, you know with the Aero strippers, how do you get the box to integrate with that as as far as I can see there is no section for it in the strippers?
It is an age old question about why we did not put a groin protection system onto the Strippers.  The primary reason is that the way that the Strippers move and stretch meant that it was impossible to get an integrated cup to stay in place - a very key attribute for a cup!!!

Instead we have a developed a really excellent cup and underwear combination that is designed specifically to integrate with (but not be connected to) the Strippers.  You can buy the Aero Groin Protector Briefs and Groin Protector Cups from most retailers that stock the Strippers.

If you drop Mike an e-mail he could well be able to sort you out mate. I got P1s for a VERY reasonable price off him and was really pleased :D PM me if you require his e-mail mate :)

I have just bought the P1's to go with my Aero Briefs and Box. Fantastic!

I got mine for £40 from LukeySports in Preston. Also a really good shop if you are around the Lancashire area. He is very knowledgeable and stocks a lot of Asain brands alongside some bespoke English brands such as M&H and Vantage.

They are very comfortable and alongside the Aero briefs and box provide brilliant protection without compromising flexibility. I was a little unsure about purchasing as I had previously had the same Morrant thing pad and GN inner thigh pad for over 8 years!But I think the price is reasonable for something which looks like it will last a long time.

I decided to get the P1s over the P2s because of the size difference. But I think the P2 would be ideally suited for someone who is a junior maybe and is still to fully grow.

Just tried on my stuff for this season and I've decided to scrap my GN shorts and thinking about getting the Hawk Guards. So I don't know what to wear to keep my box in place, I definately don't want to wear a jock strap or briefs so I've been thinking about getting some shock doctor shorts, are they just like boxers or are they more like those compression type shorts?

Also, can you buy them without the box other then from the shock doctor website? as the shipping costs will be quite large won't it?

Matt - you can get them on amazon
some of the under armour compression shorts have a pouch for a box too.

I had kookaburra padmans, moved to stripper and kept the Kookaburra to wear just as batting shorts. When the time comes to bat i just put the batting shorts on. Box in the pouch and stripper on top of that. Couldn't be comfier n my opinion

I've always just worn ccycling shorts under my thigh guard and put a box in that, never really got on with pouches of any sort.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Give these a go. Great protection for most club level players, comfort, and the box doesnt move. - Also really easy to run in.

I have a set of Remfry which I'm using currently although for the money they ain't worth it in my opinion, may even go back to a new set of P1 Strippers
