southpawtendy48 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Posted this on another thread but oh well vaughn epic 8880 pro return. has a weird ass closure on it but it closed very easily out of the box, it was also very lightly used so I think I got lucky with it. i was hoping without having to go full custom that i could get a backup glove so i don’t wear out my main one too much. overall I like how it feels but playing with it it kinda feels small if thag makes sense, I guess I like a bigger catching surface. so far I love it, but the feel is so different from my LT98 that I don’t think it’ll fit well being the backup.

The new G-NETIK leg pads are going to take some getting used to. Solid replacements... what are your thoughts so far on each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned at first because I was so used to my old style of play that I didn’t know if I was going to be able to make the transition to the newer pads. I like the knee pads that came with the G-netiks; they make landing on the more dense foam of the knee landings a bit easier on my knees. Posted a shutout in the second game I wore them in. The helmet is great as well. It runs a bit hot with the Maltese, but it’s not unbearable. It is on the heavy side, but that was a trade off I was willing to make to have more protection. My old Hackva was great, but I think the build quality of the OTNY is a step above the Hackva. The next couple of things I’m going to pick up are skates and a new chesty.

MangoRhinehart Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I picked up a used Wall W10 for 200USD. Picked up an eco foam kit for it and new hardware. Foam kit is velcroed in so I can swap to any other shell or mix n match with my maltese kit. The previous owner put a Bauer cat eye on it, and I had a cateye for the 9600 im refurbing....

Pauly35or00 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) New G4 Sr. set. I've never been so pumped to play hockey in my life. Coming from Simmons 994 set and Pro series gloves which I hated. Now I just have to figure out how much slack I need to leave when tieing the knee pads into my pants. Never used knee pads before but doing some carpet fly's convinced me knee protection is absolutely necessary for this set, which I assume is why they come with them.

Pauly35or00 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 New G4 Sr.s. Don't play until next Wednesday but any questions just ask. I do think not including the nylon strap on the Sr line this year is a bit of a dick move. I guess I have to buy a G4 strap set soon.

I'd play without a cup before kneepads. At this point I'd be terrified without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Haha. It is 100% true, though. I get hit in the cup like once every two months. Knee pads several times a game. No brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I punch new holes, trace and trim the ends, then remove the foam so it has a better fit for the 960XPM helmet liner. The glue left over helps attach it to the mechanical liner. They do stretch into shape a bit over time, but my originals still going strong after around 200 ice times for sure. Beard has made some grooves into foam, but it hasn't come apart at all. Pricing and availability are good. I would recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt35 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So this was waiting for me when I got home from work the other day! Very mobile straight out of the box and the protection seems unreal. Feels much better than anything else I tried on. Buying sight unseen and never trying on a Passau before was a bit nerve wracking but definitely worth the payoff! First skate of the year is next week.....can’t wait!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd round out the bicep and forearm blocks instead of just flat like that. The forearms would fit better in the gloves IMO. Wouldn't mind if they segmented the shoulder floaters right where it reads Passau. It would help with them taking shape to the body.
