I have never had a chest protector with arms that didn't slide down during games. Like everything, it's a preference, so maybe it doesn't doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's one of the killer features.

1. its available now on their website 2. It's multiple density foam on the knees. There is a cushioning layer.

Saw this pad in it's infancy last spring... That is the graphic. Assume "PX3 treatment" added to the 20 line.

As long as it's site content, fully encouraged! Appreciate the forensic science here. If they went to Kask, I would assume it's built off the pro dept production line which is the same as the Total Custom Pro.

IP helped design the forum aesthetic because he had experience with it.

I understand this was used as an effort of self-deprecation and I have 0 patience for opening a discussion on "Cancel culture". I know you're always jovial with your posts and this was not meant to be mean spirited. But yes, "retard" is a word that is not longer socially acceptable and people can take offense to it. Let's refrain from using it.

We definitely had that concept at some point in the project. at some point in the project. Each new padding pouch increased the cost significantly and increased the manufacturing complexity. We tried to find the balance between something unique and not over priced

Yes, with flat seams between panels

More to come very soon… fire away with questions

I don't work with True corporate like I do Bauer or CCM. I have a friend in the Montreal factory for my True connection and that's how I got my demo set. So maybe he is working with them? But from what I know, he is NOT getting free stuff from Bauer or CCM. Last I knew, he worked at a shop for the employee discount and leveraged that to acquire gear.

For anyone wondering... this is some old stuff, haha Initially, anyone who volunteered to be a mod and offered a skill set which I did not have, was "hired" (it's a volunteer thing). HR (Hills) and I generally had different view points. He got frustrated I always picked my own path instead of his suggestions. Two sides to every story? He probably felt I was stubborn and didn't value his input. He wanted a poster banned, the poster in question had some offline conversations with me, and I wanted to give him another chance. I asked Hills to take the time to discuss this situation with me on the phone and also review revamping the mods role. He said he didn't want to talk me, I said it didn't make sense he was a mod anymore, and he started his own content creation after that.

I try NOT to follow other reviews. I don't want anyone's opinion to cloud mine. If am I unsure if I trust my opinion on a topic, I ask GGN, InGoal, or some other trusted people... But what is the opposing views on 580? He likes it or does not?

I would suspect there to be an obvious winner in this trial

I have gotten pretty rusty on my Brian's, but they generally just updated logos / graphics every year to help push the new line? They generally don't have an Optik guy and a GNetik guy? That's why it's hard to tell sometimes, IMO, without going side by side with retail pics and a pro.

I got mine at Sports Etc, ordered online

This is the replacement for GNetik. I would NOT place too much stock in what we see a pro wearing right now... could be existing player spec with the new graphics. Independently, new glove / blocker line coming too

@con50582 thanks for joining and welcome

what were the key features of EF6 that had you pick it over Vaughn? What pads are you coming out of?

This is where some of these subjects are subjective or local ice dependent? I haven't used Brian's in a bit, but those always slide so well. I don't think EF6's standout feature is the sliding. However, my PX pads are just weave and they are some of the fastest sliding pads in recent memory, so I don't doubt that someone is having a good personal experience with weave.

Would take speed skin at the moment, ice has not been the best. See humidity in Chicago in the summer, so I am hesitant to cast that statement in concrete.

@froese the loops get the 5X1 glove design from odd to usable IMO. 591 pre-loops was just awkward. Now it just comes to down if you like it or not? It's very mechanical hinge like closure compared to a baseball glove feel from the rest of the market?

Have 3 skates in... feel free for anyone to ask a specific question they are curious about?

Didn't fool you though, can't be that tricky...

Didn't get that on my Mach, haha
