What is it you're looking for the mesh to accomplish over nylon or skatelace? Just easier to replace? Feel? Vision into the pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means was it easy to get on there this first time. Probably had to try at least 12 different ways to lace it before settling on this iteration. I probably take an excessive amount of pride in having gear that’s different from everyone’s which is what causes things like this mesh pocket and white goalie pants.

Flyers27 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I'd been planning on getting a tan set of Vaughn V9's for a while when this very lightly used (1 skate) set came up for sale in my area. I really like how they sit on my legs and can't wait to try them out at a drop in session on Friday. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdeFIN Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) My new Warrior G5 SR+ pads in 34+1,5" to try and see if like it with them. Watching the G6 video I felt happy I went with these as these are a bit soft already, but I've never had any problem with my GT being soft in any way. The G6 might be too stiff for my liking. Used yes, and the worst wear spot is on the left pads toe. There are a few other too from which one would think these pads were used on roller hockey or something like that. But no, should be only ice hockey. Time will tell if they evolve or just are there. The curvature is from carton box which was too small and the box was like a balloon when I received it. Comparison picture with block under the pads so that they are "standing" on the pillows at the boot. G5 in 34+1,5 and GT 33+1,5. G5 is a bit more curved but not much. For some optical reason the thigh rise on GT looks twisted but IRL doesn't look as such. Same comparison from behind, this time no block under and both pads standing on the edge of the boot so they should show the size difference with that bit of curvature difference. The right G5 pad has it's boot softened and twisted a bit which I only now notice so that makes a margin of error here too. Yes, the G5 toe strap and boot strap already left the building and the toe strap will be elastic lace with some sort of small add-on piece to the edge of the pad. If someone is guessing, the toe strap on GT pad is Kova T-flex. Edited April 27, 2022 by ArdeFIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was back and fourth on if I was actually going to go all out and get a paint job or even a wrap on this mask but decided to go this route for a nice clean look since I didn't have any good ideas on what I would actually get painted lol. I'm really interested to see how all the matte paint holds up to pucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a pair of red skate laces just so I could put one on my navy pants and one to attach the dangler. Things are going to get really matchy matchy once my new pads come in lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Pucker Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Not “gear” per se, but finally put on new vinyl that my kids chose for me, because “after the Habs, Daddy likes the Red Wings!” Yes kids, and because Daddy likes those teams, there will be way less playoff hockey on TV this year! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have less room than the pair of large hpg12a CCM pants I have. I can still tuck but it’s tight. I’d have to get ahold of Vaughn to get the actual specs on them.
