Love these more than the Vogel sweat bands. Mainly because they fit in my warrior bucket better

So funny thing - two, actually.

I went to pack my bag after getting these, and sitting at the bottom of my black hockey bag was my “lost” black sweatband! So now I have 4 (funny to me, not so funny to my wife).

The other funny thing is that I played twice with them now, and I don’t think they retain as much as the Bauer ones I got with my bucket. I had sweat running down into my face both skates: I was really excited to read your endorsement, @ThatCarGuy, since you’re playing more often at a high level - and in stinking-hot Texas! LOL! Maybe I got one that looks similar to yours, but a different brand…? Maybe I’m doing it wrong - there were no instructions ()

Nope it’s the same one as what I had! The Vogel sweat bands definitely held more water but they also created pressure points since they’re not a semicircle like the warrior ones and they’re too thick for how my helmet fits

Wasn’t really feeling the 7000s even after modification so hopefully these are better

They’re definitely stiffer and closer to my normal size pads than the 7000s. These gatekeepers were basically my work bonus since they were given to me. 
If anyone wants Vaughn V2 7000s that fit like 35+2 with a stiffer knee block then let me know

Have these coming.

Here are my new Ultrasonics. I've enjoyed playing with them. The rebounds are nice and hot. The sliding is excellent. I also haven't had any cheap 5-hole goals with these pads. 

 

I've had to scrap the toe ties these pads came with, and later the stretch laces I got from the old 2S Pro pads. I've had trouble with the Bauer toe ties breaking and the stretch laces getting caught under my pads. Hopefully a set of ProLaces will solve my problems.

kind of off topic but any of you guys know a work around about buying Bauer gear from Canada and getting shipped to the states? Hockey shop has US in my size but Bauer wont let them ship out of Canada.
