Puckstopper Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The stock graphic seems to lend itself to lighter color schemes and certain color combos. I didn't come up with anything I liked when I went with the black, green and orange combo that I really wanted to go with. However, when I went lighter I had better luck, and I was able to do a couple dark sets that were pretty good in Tampa colors. I love that they offer the Classic graphic alongside the stock one. My preferred/team colors worked way better with the Classic. Stumbling into the idea of doing a retro Andy Moog'ish set was pure serendipity and was what sealed the deal for me.

Teezle Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The classic graphic also looks really nice. But now I have a dilemma - which one should I go with? It is kind of amusing that they left in the single T on the R\GT2 when they updated the customizer, when the double T is stock (I believe). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULTIMA Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The glove on the new GT2 is questionable. We got our demo set and myself along with other associates agree that when you snap the glove shut, you hand is being pushed backward out of the glove. Cranked the straps, mucked around with it and still felt like your hand was slipping out. I think that design needs to be tweaked. Anyone considering buying that glove, please do not buy blind and try it on beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first I have heard of this & I am certain there is a way to counter it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULTIMA Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I don't understand your question - there is no one area of your hand slipping out, the entire hand slips out. When you release and open the glove back up, you feel the urge to use your other hand to push it back onto your hand and wrist. It wasn't just one opinion. the only way to correct it (I feel) is there need to be a a strap of some sort at the knuckle area to secure and stabilize your hand in the glove but there isn't. There are others in other areas but as much as we played around with it and tried getting it secure, the same thing kept happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pass along your comments about the knuckle area in particular to our design team. I hope you decide to take the GT2 trapper out on the ice for a Demo. Having a more open knuckle area is in part what allows the trapper to open and close easily. Materials/Straps over the knuckle area (break area) can become restrictive to the snappiness of the trapper. For any goalies who are curious, the finger gusset design (internally) is no different than the R/GT. So, if you didn't find it to be problematic in the past it's likely you won't on the R/GT2 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive tried the glove on about three times in the last couple of weeks, not something I noticed or felt I had an issue with. Im currently in a GT and do notice the difference in the break angle but for the most part almost felt the same. Maybe someone else will chime in but no issue on my end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Better idea at the two designs I'm swaying in between. Two different teams, both want me to get matching gear. What do I do??!?!?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Its not a review if you dont talk abt durability, performance, and your experience with it. 1 ice session with a demo set isnt a review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal strapping of the glove is identical. Really am going to try and get my hand into one this weekend if THS has a glove to check out. I saw it already. The glove closes WAY better. I actually liked it more than the GT (it felt weird on my hand). THe palm is beefy with some extra padding over the break area too. Blocker's about the same. I had a chance to also inspect the new chesty and I think it's going to be a big hit. The arms are well beefed up at the forearm and bicep, elbow floaters have TWO flaps instead of the usual 1, and the heart/stomach pad is now a proper, significant center piece. There's also a lot of little details around that helps with long term wear areas, etc. Hell. You should hit me up and we should go see this TOGETHER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckus007 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Also, on that note, I got a great deal at GM for the GT1 pro classic blocker and G4 pro classic trapper. Now all I gotta do is wait for the new THS spec GT2 pads to come in......royal blue and white. CAN'T WAAAAIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be a bro for you on this, but I'm raising two kids, in a house way bigger than we'd need if ti was just my wife and I. And they are both playing hockey. And they eat, like, every damned day, the little freeloaders. So while "12 years ago me" is right there with you on the saving for a wedding thing, present-day me is like "Awww! Isn't that just precious...?" Not sure what you'll decide, but both sets look sweet; no bad choice there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
