coopaloop1234 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Four things: 1. I like the colour scheme and the colour looks vibrant, better than some examples I've seen in person 2. Why the white binding on the boot? 3. Why a white back of the pad? 4. Cut yo' nails son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieThreeOne Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 @TheGoalNet Great video! A few questions you could maybe answer for your deep dive video: 1. How does the new Quattro ivory blocker palm material feel in comparison to the dark Quattro material in the 1X/1S blocker palm? 2. The 1X had a pinky stall instead of a pinky loop. Is the 2X pinky loop straight leather or is there some nash material on it like on the thumb loop? 3. How is leg pad sizing? Pretty accurate to CCM, etc? 4. One of the common complaints about the 1X blocker was how the index finger protection got in the way of holding and using your stick. How is it on the 2X?

The biggest perk of getting some of the demo gear is that I get it early access. The downside is that the proper customizer and order forms don't always exist yet or are not finalized. Unfortunately, the white bottom binding was a detail that got lost in an email thread or a crude MS Paint customizer. If you order these with the proper customizer on Bauer's website, there should be no concerns. In my case... C'est la vie! 3. No option 4. See that nasty blood blister on my index finger?!?! Slammed a door on my finger the other day at like 2am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will use the blocker today and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAngle41 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I won't understand the placement of the Bauer logo on the glove w/ the stock graphic (being a different color zone than the rest of the set)... but anxious to hear more about everything. Did you say you did opt for the Powelite thigh? Toe attachment: Is that attachment piece the same regardless of HAL, CRS, or Skate lace? Wondering how it would integrate with say slapping on a set of Hybrid ProLaces. I think its sort funny they include a carrying loop... but they don't offer an accessory like Brian's etc. 51 minutes ago, TheGoalNet said: 2.

I believe that’s only option. Untie the Hal elastic and you can tie in whatever you want. This is the same as the Brian’s GNetik IV 3. I hate that strap . That’s just too nerdy for me. Tie the skate lace through the loop and couldn’t be easier 4. Yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 All the texturing on the leg channel is killing me. I hate it. It makes the it look like they just slapped some plastic on the pad and called it a leg channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Apple designed goalie gear, I think it would look a lot like the Supreme. Completely smooth and minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Wow, I'm surprised those Monster HAL straps showed up with the pads on time! Joking aside, the texturing doesn't look as awful to me with all of the deep colours you've chosen. I wonder how much R&D went into getting the texturing right, especially on the gloves. That could not have been trivial, but to me I think they should have focused on other things instead (i.e. sliding surface binding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually thought these were the low point of the pads during my skate today... Either the bungee sucks compared to Pro Laces or it's way too long. I took it in once and will do it again before my next skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that Bauer would pay the licencing fee to get something better than what they could make themselves, or maybe this is just a fact of their mass production or the HAL design itself? I don't own HALs so I don't know if this has been a problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own HALs so I don't know if this has been a problem before. My understanding of the situation; Bauer is the big guy in hockey and they are sensitive to copying smaller companies. They want their IP respected, so they respect others ( This is why they don't have the extended knee block with the landing pad as I've head). As a result, they worked out a deal to license the design instead of just copying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 @BadAngle41 - Glove felt more 580 than 590 to me. Fingers really overlap to seal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an offset T I notice. I take it Bauer will not let you customize anything with the T like CCM does? For example single straight T with a +"1 pocket?

Aquilzz Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Did the gloves stay dry? Big surprise they aren't using their 37.5 in the line. From my experience with base layers but more importantly, player gloves with 37.5, it does WONDERS with keeping the mitts much more dry than any of their other liners. Would've made sense if they stuck with it on at least the trapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. +1 single T is the Although, I normally steer away from a double T, I’d definitely consider a double T here because of the depth limitation Out of the box closure is pretty close to GNetik IV, really good that way @Aquilzz Did an hour with 1 shooter. Was gased and dripping sweat post skate. Glove wasn’t overly wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
