G-NETik 8.0

[#1BeerLeaguer]

Recently purchased a set of G-NETik 8.0 pads, waiting for them to arrive. Does anyone have any experience with these pads?  I am moving from a set of Larceny L9’s.  Will there be a big adjustment to these new pads.

Of course... There's always an adjust period when you get new pads.

Big different will be the strapping.  Give yourself at 5-6 skates to dial it in.

Once you do dial them in though you'll love them.  The new pads will be lighter and rotate easier.  I had a pair of Gnetik 5.0's for a couple years and was really happy with them.   Brian's senior level gear is a great value for the money!

While I think I want to change my leg pads, I KNOW that I'm not ready to pull the trigger on new pads, so I won't waste anyone's time with a new thread.

I would like to ask a related question about the colour options for G-NETik 8.0 pads. I bought the G-NETik 8.0 blocker and trapper from my LHS's in-store stock, in Chicago tri-colour (white/black/red). However, everything I've seen of the 8.0 pads have been two-colour (or all white, all black). As I'm not pulling the trigger anytime soon, I have admittedly not done exhaustive research in this regard.

So my question is: does anyone know if there is a tri-colour option for the G-NETik 8.0 pads?

(Side note...of course my LHS guy has a set of the G-NETik IV pro pads in Chicago colours, AND my size, prominently displayed near the skate-sharpening station. Sigh... sometimes he's a jerk that way - LOL!)
