So after losing my inner thigh pad last season I decided to purchase another pair of strettons after enjoying the fit and design so much. So today come to put them in the oven left them in for around 8 mins went to check to see if they had loosened up a bit to find the outer thigh pad completely melted and bubbled. The outer part of the outer thigh pad has torn and barely has any Velcro left to attach the straps onto where as the inner one is fine the hook has melted a little bit but other than that completely fine. I don’t quite understand how it’s gone so badly wrong I left the first pair I owned in for much longer than this but these are completely ruined. I’m so glad I decided to check because if I’d of left them in for another 5 mins I might of needed a new oven. Anyone got any ideas to help as I’m not sure these are usable. It’s also got me thinking that in future I’m not so sure this is the best method of doing things and maybe to use another brand because if something like this happens out of your control your left money down and without a product to use without any argument as you can just be told it’s your fault not ours.

Have you tried contacting George directly? He really doesn’t strike me as a ‘tough luck’ type from having dealt with him previously.

Sounds like the temperature was way too high...?

Yeah don’t quite understand what’s gone wrong here the other pad it’s absolutely fine but the outer one on one side has completely torn and bubbled I wouldn’t mind if it was the outer section but it’s the inner and going to be against skin and can imagine it’s going to rub quite badly when running and sweating. On my previous pair I left them in for 12 mins and it worked fine but these didn’t even last 8 mins in the oven and I’m glad I didn’t leave them in a minute longer

What temperature did you put them in at?
