kyledjean Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Anyone know if you can get the little accent marks in the middle of the pad in different colors than the middle color zone? I heard a rumor that that may be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my epics were able to color the nylon whatever I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a rumor that that may be an option. Any derivation from the stock color zones fall under the $500 True Design program. I was looking at going metallic gold for the bottom zone and they wanted the $500... Like this set: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so here's a good contrast to the WEST POINT pads in the Sitings thread. Undeniably, this eagle and all the other stuff look amazing. But....it looks TOO real for me, like a realistic painting. This realism on goalie gear just strikes me as so foreign and out of place and strange. Compared to the boldness and simplicity of the WEST POINT gear, this is kinda messy, despite how realistic clear it is. It looks way too much like a painting glued on goalie gear than it does actual goalie gear. Just my take. I am loving the stock 2X graphic more and more though. I'd probably just get some version of it if I ordered 2X gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my take. You may be on your own for this one. That westpoint gear looked kind of pad and very cluttered. Which is funny, as this eagle design, despite it being very intricate, seems like a clearer design and has a bit more focus on it's design. Westpoint just looks like a rough cut and paste job from a magazine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just now thinking of it in this way but realism on gear looks odd to me, in general. Just not for me. I'm just waiting for actual portraits of people. It's bound to happen.

Not to get into a whole thing here (armed only with half-formulated thoughts as I am), but it probably isn't a coincidence that this hyper-realism on gear and masks is coming at a time where detail can actually be seen on screens at home. It's weird to us who are over a certain age, because players and goalies were more of an abstract, seen-from-a-distance types of figures who had colour blocks on their gear, and bold, sharp contrast designs thanks to Greg Harrison et al so as to be recognized from that assumed distance (and sometiems even that woudl depend on how well you coudld adjust the bunny ears on your set, or how bad the strom outside was at game time!) The funniest part is that so many fans and skaters alike never even notice goalie gear! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delay occured because I ordered slightly before the official retail from rolled out. Tell me what you think! Very nice ! you look close to 5''8 or 5 ''9 what's your pads size small or x-small ? compare tight rise to 2S is similar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemc830 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Can anyone speak to the durability of the 2X pro pads? I recently bought a pair of new P2s that are too short (34+1 and I need a +2) plus I like pads that more and are connected to my legs better. Was looking into potentially picking up a lightly used set but wanted to see about durability issues. I see that weird ankle plate on used 2S’s coming unstitched all the time and wondered if that happened on the 2X’s as well. i play mid to high end (mostly mid) beer league and want a pad that will last a few years so I’m skeptical of Bauer but their stuff feels great off the shelf.

Been using them over a year once or twice weekly. They've held up wonderfully. I have a little wear at the toe, but I suspect that's due to my pre game stretching routine which I do off ice on the rubber floor. Even my original set up straps is in great condition, no bacon. My Monster toe ties have started to stretch a bit, but I can just re-tie the knot and get them back to original tightness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
