IPv6Freely Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 From their Facebook page: Quote Passau is excited to announce the release of our next generation leg pad. Our updated pad design offers a new lighter core and stiffer front face to deflect rebounds further away from the net. The bindingless inner gusset and toe design (new) ensures a perfect seal along the ice and greater stability when in butterfly position. The pads now include our elastic strapping system standard (custom strapping including leather still possible) and offer the same level of customization and quality Passau has become known for. Additionally, we are now offering a new standard graphic option - the STARKE - which features a huge amount of color zones and customization potential. Orders for the new design are already being completed, so please contact us today to speak to a rep. Personally, I think they look fantastic. I do also like the graphic quite a bit; especially the way it looks good both vertical and horizontal in the butterfly. The strapping is interesting to me, and kind of strange that they're shown with a leather boot strap. I'm also very curious how exactly the toe bridges attach if there are no screws, especially since I'd want to replace them with something else. I fell in love with the Passau glove and I honestly think that's going to end up pushing me towards a full set of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much of this is based off of the "prototype" gear they sold you on for your set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My set is a few years old now. These look VERY different from what I have! And just to clarify - I didn't really get "prototype" gear so much as just getting the first run of production pads that incorporated their newest design at the time. That may just be semantics but I don't want to give the wrong impression on what it was I was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patenting something as simple as a bindingless boot was pretty silly to start with. My guess is Warrior isn't big enough to really do anything about it anyway.

seagoal Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The graphic looks very Warrior, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 They look great... just wish they could have found way to stand them up w/o actual legs in them... or at lest put some leggings on the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Md30 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I believe they made pads for Warrior before they hired Pete Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 These look great, though the graphic will have to grow on me a bit. Wonder if they will go up in price at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6Freely Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Still better than the vaughn graphic at least. I like it better than the CCM stuff too, really. I think only Brian's has better stock graphics, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6Freely Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 @GoalieTimmy33 is there an ETA for a online customizer for the new graphic? I'm debating stock graphic vs custom but if I go stock I'd like to see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
