Adam Cooper Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Huge fan of the FLX Brian’s Optik gear. What are your thoughts on the Brian’s knee pads and the chest protector? Those are items I would consider buying down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the pads are great.The knee pads are good, I haven't had any issues with them. I wear them under my team socks. I tape over top the socks at the beginning and end of the knee pad to prevent it from slipping, and it works great. I haven't used the chest protector yet, but just from playing around with it, it's noticeably more mobile than my CCM Premier Pro. Feels like a solid unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't manage to get the full RRC straps from Vaughn (just ordered replacement parts from a retailer), so I might try to fashion some myself What is that?

Mroy31 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 @estogoalie @Lucky Pucker They are incredibly satisfying to buckle up. If I could just put an SLR leg channel and straps on the 2S pads, that would be my *chef's kiss* perfect pad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s insanely comfortable and when you clip it, it’s not gonna clip off. I’m so glad this type of strapping is identical in the PVE pad. Minimal strapping but plays like a hybrid pad Edited August 29, 2018 by southpawtendy48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
