But on the G3, you can have a very aggressive S shape with the curve tab. That's what I use. I've ordered my R/GT with a double break. @chakal Where's the review?

Kirk3190 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi Goalies, I would just like to add a couple of comments here about breaks. It is correct the G3 can only be ordered with a single or no external break. However, keep in mind the G3 has a double internal break. Like Chakal mentioned, the G3s can achieve a strong S-Shape curvature with the profile lock and simple procedures such as resting them beneath a table overnight or resting them against a wall upside down after each use. The R/GT leg pads can be ordered with a double external break. The internal construction is a single break (below the knee). The R/GT does not have the profile lock feature but using the same methods will be able to achieve more of an S-shape curvature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsyuk92 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 What is the size comparison of the knee blocks? From what I read the GT's have a smaller one compared to the G3's, but is the difference that drastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I saw no differences. But that's me, I wear the top of the pads super loose. No knee wrap and the knee strap to the outside of calf. I don't use the neoprene/elastic piece neither, it was too tight to my liking. I only use the nylon strap. And the calf strap is attached to the minimum (as seen on the picture). The boot strap goes behind my heel (Lundqvist style) and I got 1.5" to 2" of slack to the toe tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamBam Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Does the R/GT line offer more flex than the G3 in general? Especially torsional flex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 @BamBam - it flexes more for sure. An owner will need to comment on the torsional aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggomez2 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello, Any update on how well the C/A is holding up, protection wise/durability? Curious also about how the mesh in the forearm area is holding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious also about how the mesh in the forearm area is holding up. @tony20 I would love to hear an update on the CA as well. I grabbed a used G2 Classic Senior after I sold my V6 2200. Looking at either a GT pro or Optik for my next chest unit. I love the feeling on the G2... just want more beef, as the G2 is only a Senior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony20 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while. @cwarnar @ggomez2 Both the g2 pro and senior r/gt are still in perfect condition. If you saw them hanging in a shop they would pass as new unless you were holding them in your hands. Just a few marks on the nylon from harder shots. All the protection is still great. The r/gt has had over a year of use at the adult and midget A level, and the pro g2 has had a couple years of high level adult and above, never had a stinger. Let me know if you have other questions.
