Srsieve Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 My C/A started out white, but is pretty much brown at this point. Does that count? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 My old 1800 John's shop picture of my current 2200. The chest plate was supposed to be royal blue to match my old c/a. Back plate loop for carabiner, which has since been removed and changed to a different means of connecting my c/a to my goal pants. Dip in backplate neckline. Its barely noticeable here, not the most thought out picture, apologies. "Lundqvist" mod. I really wanted this to be a bit more pronounced of an angle but it still works just fine. Left current 1800, right new 2200 Mod list for the 2200 -Lower half of the split chest plate, attached slightly lower then what I see most getting so it sits a little more centered on the chest. -Segmented shoulder floaters -Dip at the top of the backplate. I hate how the top of my 1800 poked out the back of my jersey and can sometimes feel it hit the backplate of my mask. -Lundqvist mod for my suspenders. I like to wear them over the chest but I don't tuck the belly. As it is now, I feed the suspenders through the gap between the chest pad and the side rib pads. He angled the bottom tips of the side wings down and away so it forms a slightly bigger gap for the suspenders. -Loop on the backplate to attach my carabiner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkinstien Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just sent them an email checking on a custom 2000 unit, I'm old and short so I need any extra flaps or ridges I can get to stop pucks. lol Anyone have any recommendations for c/a mods if any? Also checked on revisiting my old 287 pads as a custom option. I had to take a break off the ice and sometimes some new equipment makes the transition easier. (Plus my current Brown 2000 is beat up badly) I am now on blood thinners, so bruising is a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest the segmented shoulder floaters because I love mine, but, if you're going to build a 2000 with the ridges on the floaters then I don't know if they can do segmented shoulder floaters. Other than that I would ask for the top of the back plate to have a dip in it so it doesn't ride up and interfere with the back of your mask. It sometimes happened in my 1800. It wasn't often but when it did it was annoying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkinstien Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 John got back to me, they can do the segmented floaters on the 2000, so may try that out for sure. My current used 2000 medium fits terrible, so having all the measurements done will ensure a solid fit I hope. Can't believe I've tried all of John's gear except a custom c/a.

I love the segmented floaters. Keeps everything nice and flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though that the Brown arm floaters could be designed a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wear the arms loose-ish so was never too much of an issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

und3rd06 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, Happy to have found an "active" goalie forum. Long overdue since GSBB has gone silent and I find Facebook useless as an information source. My question: How long did it take you guys before you feel good in a new Brown chest ? I bought a Brown 2400 and have used it for 6 months when I play pickup to "break it in". I would say I might have 20 to 24 hours in it max. I still don't feel comfortable in it, it just feels like the plastic parts are too stiff/bulky and hinder my movement, especially the shoulder floaters (I did ask for 2 inch wider and removable shoulder lifts that I don't use anymore, don't like added height). I did have a super hot shower in it(read that it helped) played around with strapping, etc.. still I just feel like I don't like that chest and might have to sell it I do find it hot so I might remove built in neck collar to help in air flow. I might also remove the extra chest pieces to help reducing bulkiness. Any help/tips would be appreciated.

TheGoalNet Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @und3rd06 - Thanks for joining. Hopefully @SaveByRichter35 or some of the other Brown loyalists can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @und3rd06 removing the collar will definitely help cool you down, it will give the body heat a better chance of venting out. The biggest reason for the bulkiness you are feeling is the wider shoulder floaters you ordered. No amount of breaking in is going to stop those from impeding being able to put your arms in front of you. With the width of those, you could probably remove that white floater piece directly above the elbow floaters. I can see that being redundant and factoring in the bulkiness. Were it me, I would remove the collar and trim the shoulder floaters back to the about where that white stripe is... similar to my pic of my JB553 a couple of posts up.
