Giving it a try as my CCM AB18 unit feels like it is not meant to last. Ditching my suspenders and going to try the half tuck. This will be the shortest chesty I’ve used in a while. My CCM sits at about my waist line and the slr3 is at about my belly button. The slr3 feels mobile and protective. Will see how it feels on the ice later this week. How is your CCM sitting so high? Back straps? Look at my pic a few posts higher. lots of droop at the neck. And it does make you wonder how many units a pro goes though in just a season, eh.

Wonder if XL was the right choice for my 6'2 frame. I'm quoting myself to ask this: what exactly would make the 2S illegal in the show? The shoulders aren't that massive tbh. The floaters are smaller than some out there, and the biceps floaters seem identical to the CCM I'm sporting just above...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have +1 arms and have them as short as they well go. That seems to be keeping it high. I’ll try to get a picture. I have added a lot of stitching to the CCM unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertnamehere Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Just recently purchased a pair of Optik 2 leg pads. I had a set of these in the summer of 2022 that were a 32+2 which were just a smidge too tall in the thigh, these being a 32+1 should do the trick. I also really prefer a dark setup which steered me in this direction. Still on the hunt for some black gloves to go with them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squared off arms is the immediate thing. NHL needs tapered arms. Pretty sure the shoulder caps are too pronounced as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they're the same width, it's the the 2S had squared off arm protection which is illegal in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpawtendy48 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 You guys know what break angle your gloves have? Huh.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 So somewhere on this platform I mentioned my getting a Bauer 940 to replace my old age Reidic. I didn't like the cage's sight lines so I went and ordered a cheater cage from TGC. Aside from my nose being very close to the bars, I'm very happy with the vision now.

Isn’t “the break angle” the excuse you use to justify buying new gear in situations where finances are shared…? For example: Me: “Honey, I need to buy a new glove; I think there’s a break in the plastic in my old one…” Wife: ”Oh - it broke? So that’s your angle this time - not ‘it will match better’…? Different angle, but same answer - NO!” FWIW, I don’t know the break angle on my glove either. Edited January 6 by Lucky Pucker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took some shots to the head today. Not an ear ring or a bad experience with my 940. I have a cats eye tho. very impressed, coming from a sport mask to. I got a couple cage hits on the original and the only issue I had was that my jaw either popped backwards or I clenched my jaw too hard on the shot and it still hurts some after 4 weeks. I am somewhat annoyed with the elastic chin cup though. I've always had a traditional nylon strap for the chin which seems more stable imo. I might swap just to try. I chose the cheater cage because I didn't want to chance a stick blade or puck into the eye area. Not that it has happened before. I've worn a cat-eye for years. I am interested in the wide mouth version made for the Bauer profile though. The one I had custom made for my Reidic won't fit. There is a significant weight difference between the 940 and the Reidic but I'm not too much affected by it during or after games. The weight difference between the 940 and 950 and possibly the 960 aren't that big, but the prices are, hence my choosing the 940. Also the reviews. Apparently, as per Cam from The Hockey Shop/InGoal Magazine, there's a pro in the Calgary Flames system I believe that uses or used a 940 as his choice of mask. I'm not facing NHL or AHL or KHL or SHL shots so, it's good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Picked up a new stick at a good price yesterday- and funny thing, despite it not being a glove, it also has a break angle (more on that later; heading out to the rink to coach my kid’s team) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
