creasecollector Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Not a major purchase by any means, but I picked up these CCM Edge socks recently. Will be using them tomorrow. The old RBK Edge socks only had the velcro tabs on the front part of the sock which I thought was weird, so I never bothered trying them out, but these CCM Edge versions have velcro attachment points on the front and back which is nice. I have never worn the edge type socks until this season (my beer league team was given a pair - antique gold colour which matches nothing I have) and I love them very much. So much room for knee pads and they fit a lot better than your traditional knit socks I've worn my whole life, so I wanted to buy myself another pair to use for my other skates. I just went with black since it will not show any sweat stains and will "go" with my black jersey I wear for drop-in, etc. Anyone else wear the Edge type socks? I went with the SR size.

Wrbsti15 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 new custom brown 2400 pants and 2500 knee pads arrived with brown suspenders. So far so good. Very high quality product and customer service is by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Bauer whatever model senior socks for a while now, for the same reason that they have Velcro front and back. Wish I could still find them, but CCM might have to do when mine wear out (only a couple of holes right now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just socks, but I feel like they did the job well and fit very nicely around my massive KOHO Pro Swiss knee guards with ease. They are built a lot nicer than my knockoff Edge socks I switched to earlier in the season for my team. Looks like I can (finally) kiss my knit socks goodbye!

Lucky Pucker Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Not gear, but got a pretty sweet T from the wife and kids (didn’t have the heart to tell them that I’m not actually a goalie; just a goalie impersonator- and not a very good one - lol!!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big H Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 On 12/17/2019 at 3:11 PM, BadAngle41 said: It's reinforced in both the T and the Spine. Helps with durability to a degree in that it will take longer to break down... and of course you have the flip side to some degree in potentially a longer break-in period as well. It has the same crease in the T as a standard... but it certainly a thicker insert than stock. I opted for it in my lastest set. If you're a goalie who has a habit of pushing down on their pocket a bunch (like i do) and you're getting a custom it's worth considering. Image taken from the My Bauer Custom Goal Gear Catalog (2S & 2X) Didn't they begin to do this once a shot had sht through a x900 glove in a pro europe league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfu91 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Took a few years off after college. I have a real soft-spot for vintage looking sets. Just sold these Vaughn V5 7990 (pads + blocker) with 9580 gloves. Have been using these G4s for the last year and a half and can't wait for the G5s 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the Bauer image as it gave a good visual as to where the reinforcement is placed etc. Usually the lacing would give out before the actual T or Spine would. But with enough time and use you'll see just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 My Sparx sharpener arrived yesterday! Since it was her idea (and she had an ice time last night), my wife's skates were the first ones to get sharpened. Kids got a kick out of watching it too! It's still a bit surreal... I can get our skates sharpened any time I want - and it's so easy to use. I'm blown away. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpawtendy48 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) got rid of the previous padwrap on these pads as it kept peeling off and it didn’t really fit with my gloves. went away from the original ve8 colorways, ended up with something a bit unique. it wasn’t done perfectly but i’m mostly happy with it Edited February 7, 2020 by southpawtendy48 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What radius did you go with?

RyanR3KC Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Pulled the trigger and went with 2X Pro. Rance from the GoalieCrease was a huge help. Pads should be here hopefully mid-April. 1st custom set. Really excited 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
