Super protective and comfortable duo. I'm happy to answer questions or provide pics of anything. Am I the only one who is anything but satisfied with Vaughn pants? I bought last summer SLR Pro Carbon pants and wore them a few months before I had to discard them. They lacked of protection almost everywhere and even my 3 years old Bauer Reactor 9000 pants where much more protective. Every single shot (even straight to the most protected part of the thigh) gave me stingers. I also got very bad bruises to upper thighs near groin area and it started to be too dangerous so I ordered Brown pants. No problems since.

Still haven't purchased knee pads but it's decided, I'll be getting the Warrior Ritual X Sr/Pro. A buddy of mine has a set that came with his Warrior pads but the elastic on them is broken and he might be willing to give them away because he's not interested in sewing them. I can highly recommend Brown knee pads. They are very light and mobile and also have cushioning for comfortable landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 After a couple ice times with the SLR pants, they're going up for sale. The inside of my thighs are covered with bruises because the padding doesn't wrap around enough there. I went out and got a set of Warrior Ritual X Sr pants and starting modding them the second I got home (will hopefully have pics soon). I took advantage of the removable inner belt and only removed it half way. The only way the inner belt is connected to the pants is the velcro on the back. I have the belt this way so I can tuck my c/a over the inner belt and inside the pants. That's how I tried on a pair of CCM pro spec pants and I loved it. I used the pants yesterday and just like everything else Warrior they are very mobile despite appearances. They fit perfectly and my mod to the inner belt worked exactly how I wanted it to. Side note: I have struck a deal with my dad. He has said that since I like Warrior knee pads and Warrior leg pads, I will get both at the same time! I'm about to outgrow my Vaughn's though so I'll hopefully get new pads for my birthday in June. And yes, my friendly Monkey Sports Warrior guy may have finally turned me away from Vaughn and converted me to all Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znowleopard Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Passau are showing off some new knee pads might be worth looking at, however the warrior knee pads are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I am in red and black gloves. I was gonna go for an all black set but I'm probably going to be playing for a travel team next year and the basically use NY Rangers unis. Plus retro tan is different than all the other kids in Texas. I guess I could always go with the red and white color scheme. I'll probably be playing for two teams next year All black would look great with this: Not so much with this: I grabbed random pictures for both of these.
