cwarnar Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looks very P1 ish... With some design elements of the Vaughn Velo units. Hoping they stick... Curious to see how they play.

Moose75 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 That Holtby one looks super comfortable. I'd like to try one someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Are there anymore pics floating about? Like a view of the back, sides, arms, elbows...the usual. Any idea on weight and price? Any pics of someone wearing it? I noticed that they aren't posted or even mentioned on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't officially released it to the public yet. Mike Howard did a post on their FB page in the spring. They're going to be releasing a new website as well.

Max27 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 These look really good as the new specs for the chesties. Just look more tapered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I want to note that the Holtby unit is distinctly more P1-inspired compared to Ward (formerly 5500) and Crawfords (formerly H5), especially if you look at the elbow floater, shoulder floaters and the belly flap which is different than the other 2 units.

Chenner29 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Glad to see this finally get rolling...some TGN members provided input on this back in February! Notice there is zero elastic across the back. Wear and tear on the back elastic was a common issue with P1s. Mike told me Ward is using it in camp. Crawford is still out. Holtby should have his soon, and mine is coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike24 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hopefully the rest of their gear hits the show soon. I know the cost is crazy but I’d be nice to see more brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Part of me wonders if it isn’t like the publicity stunt that happened last year when their pads were seen in different teams’ training camps.I am not using the term “publicity stunt” as a perjorative OR a negative; the “stunt” did work to get their name on the radar, which is QUITE the feat! With CCM, Brian’s and Bauer dominating the NHL ith their wares, a little player like a Kenesky even getting a look in by established pros is an achievement! A fledgling brand has to do what they can to get attention; I think of back when my bicycle brand was trying to get attention in the world of triathlon by me sending product to the best looking female triathletes! My water bottle carrier did end up on the pages of a magazine, albeit the race was a minor IM qualifier and my brand name was obscured ? I do hope that their chesties end up under at least ONE pro’s sweater; Howie and Dave TRULY deserve for that to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Not to rain on the Kenesky parade, but you'd think companies like Brown and Warrior whom are more anchored in would still be kicking in the show, even if nameless/logoless. I mean Warrior alone could get away with it and still get a ton of exposer just by how their model is so recognisable to the goalie world. Any and all licensed brands will end up costing the regular Joe a fortune just to get a taste of them. Just my opinion. Regardless, kuddos to Kenesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, kuddos to Kenesky I don't think Warrior has a huge desire to start shelling out tons of cash for pro endorsements and what not. The beer league market is far more financially viable than the Pros. I still don't have an answer why no pros will even test Warrior stuff outside sticks tho. I won't use another brand for the remainder of my beer league career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took over the lacrosse market the same way years ago and I think eventually you'll see them in the NHL as younger generations who grow up wearing Warrior gear move into the pro ranks. My understanding was that sticks are all that's currently licensed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm surprised companies don't make an iconic color chest pad. So when it pokes out of the neck, bottom or arm - you can tell what brand it is without them paying the ad fee. Same with sticks. Is there a rule that all player sticks have to be black/white based?

creasecollector Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Great stuff! Love the similarities to the P1. Looks exactly how a regulated 2018-19 P1 would look like today. Nice job, Kenesky! Glad to see other brands pop up in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Really like how this looks, but I feel like that back setup needs to be simplified by about 500%. SO MANY straps and buckles. Contrast with the back of the Passau C/A, which seems much more streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would be in Vaughn forever. My next set, if there ever is one, will be Brian's. Well, at least the pads and blocker. 6 hours ago, jayluv54 said: If I could just bring myself to mix and match I'd have a Warrior Catcher, Bauer Blocker, Vaughn or CCM pads...but I just can't do it.
