Adam Cooper Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Here is my video of of some options for carrying your goalie pads. I have not had any luck fitting my pads into my goalie bag so the three options I present are the best ones I've tried so far. Check it out!

Max27 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Good stuff. I use a Grit Tower bag and it has buckles on the front to strap ur pads to it, super easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I have taken to sewing web into my pads’ bindings with a snap attachment, or keep one in when elasticising my pads. I get a nice, long piece of web and attaching the other side of a web/snap closure on both ends of the web. Will show pix of what I mean in a bit...

CG35 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 G4's came with a fancy little strap solution, but I still prefer to double bag it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creasecollector Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Great video! And I guess this method would be considered “old school” now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itis121 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've always had nylon strap on my knee block to sling over my shoulders. As @creasecollector said i guess its old school due to lack of actual straps on modern pads now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've left one of the buckles for the outside knee flap attached so I can just attach them like so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Cooper Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Great shares guys! @creasecollector You are right. Just not the same trying to use elastic straps versus nylon/leather straps to carry your pads. I should have highlighted that option. @coopaloop1234 nice mod with the Warrior pads. That looks like a great option. @bunnyman666 same goes for you. I can’t sew so power to you and your webbing. @Lucky Pucker that’s quite the bag. I used to have one of those for my other gear and had to sell it as it was just too big and heavy to lug down to my basement. But nice option to strap them on the outside. Agree to others comments that it it’s a very pricey option. Thanks for continuing to share your pics. This is a topic that really does have many options.

bunnyman666 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 @Adam Cooper Thanks! In this case, I did leave the buckle on these pads, but popping open the binding and sewing in nylon web is pretty easy either with a good, sharp upholstery needle or a Speedy Stitcher. Either comes in handy when you need a repair or a mod. Carrying the pads now have many options. You made a good video, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I always thought people just used the top straps to carry their pads over their shoulder. Didn’t realize people have been using the bottom of the pads to connect. But what do I know? Any time I tried carrying the pads over my shoulder I hated it. I keep everything in the bag. I feel like every option we have to carry our stuff is not great. If only we could have all of our stuff in a bag levitating and following behind us.

Adam Cooper Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Show us a pick of your Backpack. Love to see how you pack all your gear and how the pads fit as well. I'd love to see more shares on how folks pack their goalie bags for maximum efficiency. I still can't figure out how I should organize mine. 2 hours ago, cwarnar said: Passau backpack bag...

I'd love to see more shares on how folks pack their goalie bags for maximum efficiency. I still can't figure out how I should organize mine. Ask and you shall receive... Here is a quick rundown: First off... this thing is MASSIVE... I came from wheel bags previously (old TPS Bag, then a Flite Wheel bag and finally a Frontier). It comes at a premium price but it is worth every penny. It comes with compartments for your mask and skates: I place my pads in first (33+1.5 RGT Pros) on the sides, inner gusset down. I put my Warrior knee pads inside the leg channel. Next is my clothes and jersey. They get tucked at the bottom between the leg pads.: Glove and blocker go at the opposite end of the mask/skate compartments: Finally my CCM Pants and GT Pro chest go on top: Its that simple! Easy to carry, load/unload from my SUV... no zero durability or workmanship issues. Passau makes a quality product. I have removed the shower bag (Passau has since discontinued this item with the bag). I play so close to home I prefer to take my post game shower there.

aircanuck Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Having been gone for 24 years, I feel like minutia of this position is being unnecessarily obsessed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Cooper Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 It sure has changed. Goalies love their gear and yes many of us are obsessed with it. It can truly be a hobby for many of us. I admit that I’m one of them. When I was a player playing out I was never like this. I think it’s a mix of wanting to continually improve as a goalie, wanting to look great with the latest gear and designs, and being a gear nerd having stuff that gives me an edge. It’s fun reviewing, analyzing and obsessing over what the pros have and saving up for what you can one day get. I think that’s why goalies are so much ahead of players with technology innovations in gear. If they make better sticks then we have to review everything.

seagoal Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Moving from V6 to VE8 pads I realized I now had a carrying dilemma with the new pads lacking thigh straps , buckles, or any rigid non-elastic straps. Did a few tests of a few ideas and found a winner. I had an old shoulder strap from a Graf bag with a nice padded slider. Took that strap, added climbing carabiners on both ends, closed the Professor strap on both pads, shoulder strap through those , and voila. Works like a charm. The Graf strap is plenty long enough to sling over my shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
