A few things that have donned on me while trying on pads, having customers try on pads with the newer style thigh guards.
Those 7400 thigh guards are not my favorite, I think the strapping needs to be done right too.
I wonder if anyone has tried sewing/lacing the thigh guards in on an angle.
There are also a lot these newer thigh guards that are just way too long. Or where the thigh guards lace in, it makes them sit too high on the leg and that little corner basically the inside knee is still velnerable.
I think this, sitting too high, especially on a pant that will not accomodate these inside the leg is the biggest trouble spot in the uncomfortable feel, loss of mobility/rotation.
Why do these thigh guards have to have so much padding for the outside of the thigh when it is almost always the inside that gets hit?

Paul did you find anything yet that WOULD help your play???
BUUUUUUUUUUURN!!! Sorry man, it was there.
I personally don't wear anything, knee pads, thigh guards etc when I play, I gt the 5-hole closed so I find I'm not as much at risk, but I've been hit on occaision and will be hit again. I just live with it.
