beansbats Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So my new custom Bauer 1S catcher showed up today. Double T, skate lace, 1" extra depth. What surprised me was that I was told that it would come from Thailand, and what showed up at my house was made in Canada I was shocked and stoked at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @beansbats - you're lucky! I'm pretty sure the made in Canada route is disappearing soon. Bauer and JRZ parted ways. My 1S gear is made in Canada too Can you share if your glove has the JRZ tags or not too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would like to know a source that JRZ and Bauer parted ways. I figured the JRZ was removed since they don't want to advertise they are no longer in Canada, but someone is making Pro return gear for them and picking up on custom orders that overseas seemingly can't keep up with. Both of my newish 1X gloves are Canadian made, pads are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to pick up the two piece cowlingless They're fantastic. If you have the money i would definitely go for it. I came from a heavy Graf so the difference was massive for me. Much lighter and quicker on my side to side and recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what I was getting at. All of Bauer's Pro level pads and gloves were made in Canada at JRZ ending at the Reactor 9000 days. Bauer doesn't officially offer made in Canada goalie gear any more. But their Canadian factory has been helping with the backlog of gear that the overseas one can't keep up with. Before Bauer advertised on the pad "made by JRZ", they no longer do which led me to ask about the JRZ tag. "No longer in Canada" was talking about the pads themselves and not JRZ. That is awful English and I'm not sure if my phone had something to do with that or not... But I find the autocorrect for forums extremely bad on mobile.

TheGoalNet Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Via a contact at Bauer, 1S gear was dual sourced. I did not get a clear explanation of what dictated what was produced in CA and then off shore. All 1X gear is being made in a new factory off shore and all new models will be too. @djtendy noticed that for custom orders that unique colored Bauer logos on the 1S line tended to come from Canada, like a baby blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken35 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) @TheGoalNet My gear is currently in town and I am away from it. However I looked up online and found it on the Under Armour web site. Unfortunately, it looks like they are no longer making them. Under Armour Gameday Padded Goalie Long Sleeve Shirt I also ordered one of these to try but won't get it until the new year.

TheGoalNet Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I found that on google too after your post. Thanks for following up, shame that is not available anymore! Had good luck with UA shirts and that didn’t look too padded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, what have you tried on in the past that you think it's comparable to? Ive worn Cooper, Vaughn, Koho, Eagle, TPS, Smith, CSS, Lightspeed, Itech, Passau, McKenney, Battram, Boddam, RBK, Brians and some ive forgotten....... wow, a lot of manufacturers. To me, they feel like a mixture. Stiff, but not super stiff like Reebok, with softer internal leg channel and landing block. Not super thin like Bauer is getting.

I knew that was the goal for retail 1S from the start, but I'm surprised they are going that route for Pro, the quicker shipping turnaround for a set of gear from Quebec to NY is much quicker than Thailand to NY.
