RichMan Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Just won this on Ebay. It's the TGC spec...hope I like it. Big upgrade from my pro-spec H5 from some years ago. Should also be a little better than my Mckenney 870. Starting to feel some sore shots in the arms.

But seriously, I got a few years left in my H5 and still think it's the best CA ever made. Light, protective, mobile. Ticks all the boxes. Just needs a heartguard maybe. But since I'm heartless, it doesn't matter I've got a Bauer Reactor 9000 CA lined up next, and the Warrior R/GT felt pretty mobile in the shop. But Somebody should really make clones of the H5, it's like the T5500 of CA's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprajake Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 So few bits Ccm e3.9 set Heavy, stiff and bulky. Glove was nice but set went back Ccm r1.9 pants to replace my tierd ccm pens pants these will be good. I have a set of warrior g4 gloves and a pair of warrior gt pads coming today, these will replace my full g4 set as I found the pads tad to big and stiff Wosrt bit the UK and EU only had white as an option. Yep I'm that goalie now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'm that goalie now Too bad, nice looking set. Do you know is the e3.9 similar to the pro pads in terms of weight and bulk? My son has a Eflex 860 (SR) set, and I compared his blocker to my Brian's SZ Pro, and the CCM is noticeably heavier. I was wondering if the CCM Eflex Pro blocker is the same weight (?)

cuprajake Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 umm not sure id presume heavier, the quality wasn't all that tbh, seemed alot cheaper made than my off shore warrior stuff. but yeah full set noticeably heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korppi32 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 CCM pro pads are way lighter than 3.9 pads. I don´t know about weights/grams but you can definitely feel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't like was the lack of rib protection and belly thickness. I'm sure there are a few unused pro returns stashed away in a forgotten teams overstock closet. Wish I could get in touch with all the NHL/AHL trainers and ask then to check for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G4 kept the webbing and click straps for Pro only I believe... but the attachments to add them are on the SR model if you wanted to buy a kit and add them. Their rationale was that guys who had the Pro level wanted the extra security of the webbing that that neoprene alone wouldn't give them.

Yea, meant to elaborate that in my post but didn't for whatever reason. The SR level G3 and GT's all came with the straps, SR G4's didn't. I also know what they stated their rational was, I just found it really poor. It's a low cost item that has been found in both previous SR lines but they removed it because "People didn't see the added benefit, oh, but we kept it on our Pro line because they saw the benefit." That rationale doesn't make too much sense to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
