BadAngle41 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I can't vouch for when this picture was taken... but I was looking up my team's schedule for an upcoming USA Hockey Labatt's Adult Classic and found Arturs Irbe is sporting some new gear on his men's league team!!!

keeperton Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I really like those stadium series jerseys. Also always love the Irbe combo. I want to get one, but the stuff is relatively hard to find, especially the dangler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 @MTH agreed, has a retro NFL vibe to the grey cage here is Vasy with 1S knee pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 What model of mask is Mason in? It's no longer the original 961 (can tell from the ear vents), but it seems like a mix of the traditional rubatex (near the chin cup, cream instead of dark grey in the XPM) with the new XPM XRD foam as the padding (hexagonal pattern and perforated dark grey foams). Bauer's pro mask department always seems to pull something off that surprises me, like still giving some goalies the original 961 (Mason up until this mask, Niemi, etc.) while most have switched to the XPM. There also seem to be several different pro molds for the XPM, with different ear hole placement (like this mask... why so high up?) Also interesting to note that Mason likes a flat grey for his cage, like a player cage, rather than the usual polished or glossy coloured cage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose75 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Those are dope man. Bauer really should have used Dubnyk and Markstrom graphics as stock. Those are the best two graphics aside from the Optik this year. I doubt it, but maybe these are the 2X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hills Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If Bauer offered the Dubnyk graphic I probably would wait for 2S gear to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @Mroy31 ‘s stated timeline of fall for custom graphics is probably pretty accurate. So if that comes online in September, maybe late October or early November for custome pad in hand?

(Unfortunately) There could be delivery issues related to current challenges or with bringing the new technology to mass production. I was making a timeline off quoted delivery. I sort of look at the Bauer stuff right now like getting iPhone 1? May have been the most High tech phone to date, but it was missing some basic features, like pic messaging by the 2nd version, it was fully online and people were patient. Hopefully Bauer can get really knock it out of the park with 2S Are people seeing durability issues with 1X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itis121 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Any insight if Markstroms pads are flat faced or have the 1X rolls on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieThreeOne Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 17 hours ago, TheGoalNet said: Better look at Markstrom @thetendy29 on instagram Based on this, these are definitely 1x pads, custom graphics obviously, with the Bauer logo in a similar position as the 2s. The blocker binding and logo indicate 1x blocker. Based on the lacing, it looks like that's a 2s glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good comparison video... even better metallic gold shorts (or maybe track pants.) My comparison would be to retail V5s and the blocks on the inner thigh of those alone are worth the change to 13A. I can close my 5 hols so much easier now. They were like doorstops. Are the 12A inner thigh blocks as clunky? Or to maybe phrase it relative to 13A... does the lack of 13A inner thigh blocks change your ability to close the 5 hole compared to 12A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12A blocks are certainly bigger than the 13A, but I never considered them clunky. I do find that retail pants seem to stick out more in that area compared to being more flush on the 12A. At least that is how I saw it when looking at pants in the store without the 12A there for direct comparison. I haven't used the 13A as much as the 12A yet, but I haven't noticed more 5 hole goals... in the summer I'll be diving into the 13A more though and will be able to compare better.
