New PAW kneepads with gel. Got sick of warriors always sliding around, and my old PAW kneepads didnt have enough cushioning.

A few refurbs I finished up this morning. 

NXI Phantom and an early Reidic I picked up off @RichMan many moons ago. 

Sweet finish on the Reidic man! Glad to see it's put to good use

I'll be honest, I was a bit worried when you said you were gonna replace the powder blue with teal but it looks amazing.

Me too. Wish I didn’t have to stray from powder blue but I made this work

@southpawtendy48 Big fan of all the teal. I've never had a reason to have my own teal stuff, but my first mites team was teal back in the day!

Here's a photodump of my new gear that I posted the .png file of when I submitted it to The Hockey Shop back in May. Thanks to Cam, and the rest of his staff, up there for all their help. I'll put notes next to pictures that are meant to highlight customization or other small things.

Front and landing pictures to highlight the asymmetry.

IV Strap Numbers and front butterfly

I asked for the bottom side of the boot to be done like the G3netiks, which means that instead of the primo being only where the boot sets, it's also on the inside of the toe. Also shows my flex setting, which is the same as stock. I would have done the boot as a 5, but even Brian's said it's basically the same and I figured using a 4 would add some longevity maybe.

How I strap up the back. I tried joining the knee strap to the upper area of the calf wrap and found it lets my knee too much to my own liking. I also attach the knee pads to the tab on the pad and do my boot through a lundy-loop. I got both additional straps, but removed the top one and kept the bottom one. I will likely tighten the bottom nylon one a little and in the future I'll make sure to get pads with a professor strap.

Comparison to the G3netik. Same size, 32"+2" for both. The 3s are much straighter in profile, IVs came a little more precurved. I'm definitely still getting used to the thigh being stiffer, I'd likely shorten the thigh by 0.5" in the future.

Optik blocker and GIV glove. Coming from Optik blocker and glove, I greatly prefer this glove even though I'm still getting used to it. It feels like it opens up a lot less, but that's really because it's so much less effort to open and close it for me, thing's a beauty and feels great on the hand.

Primo on the blocker part that goes on the ice for wear reasons. I stayed with the Optik blocker since I liked my first so much, though on the newer ones they're using a digitech palm without me asking. No differing opinion yet since the rest of the blocker is still so stiff that it feels different enough.

thanks man, and well done on the setup. I do wanna ask though, what’s the yellow stitching for on the top of the pads?

The crowns or constellations?

I'm curious about both actually! But those elements look familiar to me... had you posted pics of the pads - or at least the design - previously? I know I've seen it somewhere before...

Very nice set up! Big fan!

I really like asymmetry designs, its not done enough these days. I remember when that was a stock design from some companies.

The white with vertical stitching pads are so awesome too.

Oh those are constellations then? That answers my question

Tell me, do you like backgammon by chance?

My new mitt is in Surrey (ordered May 15th)!!  I'm waiting on pics as we speak before I sign off on it and pay my balance.  If all is good I should have it very soon...I'll update with pics shortly.

Hmm, maybe I'll stop by and try it on for you.

Oh...P.S. .......it's PERFECT!  

I am so glad I went with white binding.  I love the way it looks.

Almost perfect, anyway. I guess you don’t mind that they misspelled “Vaughn” ...?

(did I make you look...?)

 

Beautiful glove, @seagoal! Congrats, man!

Ha.....I just got goose bumps and a stomach ache.  You TOTALLY made me look.  I hate you.

I mean I love you.  Jerk.

Yep, Ursa Major and Corvus. I had them on my previous gloves too, but as stamps instead of embroidered.

This was basically one of the responses I got from the Brian's IG post. There was also, "Pascal Leclaire?" haha

For what it's worth, I wasn't thinking that when I designed them that way, but I do like that it makes me feel like one of the Queen of Heart's guards.

@goalie381 Agree. I've wanted some sort of controlled asymmetry for awhile. I really liked the vertical stitching on my white ones, but also felt it was time to move on from being in the all-white-pads crew. One of my earlier designs was vertical stitch stripes done asymmetrically, but, "it looks like someone used duct tape to put this together," was my dad's response.

Thanks @keeperton.  I'm pretty excited about.  It left Surrey due south to me today.  Should be on my hand at my work very, very soon, I'm hoping by Friday.

I've gotten most of my stuff from THS and I'm down here in Portland. It usually takes too long to arrive here (weekends, customs, etc), so I really hope you get it reaches you on by then. Is that a standard VE8?
