Can't wait. I'll post a picture of everything once I have it all!

Very good to know. I'm getting the VE 8 blocker and catcher tomorrow. The pads I'm still on the fence about.. Thinking I might just buy em both and wear em in my basement to try and feel em out as best as I can and just return whatever one I don't go with.

Leaning towards the VE 8' Pros..

Anyone know any deals floating around out there that might help alleviate the costs in going carbon?

I WISH I could go custom. However the carbon version of the PVE or the VE8 is just out of my budget..

Leaning towards the VE8's.. I definitely prefer the strapping system on the PVE's, Im just worried they'll be too soft and too flexible for my liking.

*** I just came across a pair of XF Pro Carbon on clearance for almost the same price as both the PVE and VE8's! Any thoughts as per comparing these to the PVE/VE8'S ??

Anyone else hear of any issues with the magnetic buckles on the VE8's? I would prefer going carbon if I could find a good deal. From what I can find the carbon model is literally double the price..

Just wondering how soft and flexible this pad really is compared to the VE8....? I find that just by playing with em in store that the VE8 feels a little stiffer, its just so hard to tell without strappin' up and getting on the ice. Did you go carbon? Not entirely convinced the jump in price is worth it.

Looking on purchasing an entire new set and am a little torn between the Pro V Elite and the VE 8. Was wondering if anyone had any feedback on either, or perhaps some advantages/disadvantages one might have vs the other? The glove on the Pro V Elite seems to have an opening around the knuckle area which seems odd.. Anyone using this glove?
