There's a chance that using BOA wouldn't violate a patent because it could be different technology, even though it looks similar. With that said... What's old is new again!!! Ain't that the truth.

Corbotron Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 BOA has been around since 2001. It's funny that they are now integrating their systems on hockey gear. They started in the snowboard boot industry as a third party lacing system.(previously stated). Now I see their tech on anything thing from cycling to hunting..etc. I'm honestly baffled that companies haven't used their tech for pads, skates, even helmets. Kudos to Brians for stepping up with this stuff. Hopefully we see it on more gear soon. Also to anyone wondering about the durability/ease of fixing. BOA has a lifetime warranty on most products, and they are very easy to fix/replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The one in my baseball glove broke mid season. But baseball gloves are typically folded pretty flat and stuffed in bags. I think the hard crease through the cord system killed mine. Goal gloves don't get that same treatment - so this seems like a perfect fit. You release the tension by pressing the middle of the dial; right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Usually the tension is released by pulling up on the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things have been used on snowboard boots for a while now. They hold up fine. It's more impacts like Ghostender mentioned that I'd be curious about.

Howard's blocker is still a Velo, but it has the SLR graphic. If you look around, there's a ton of guys with Velo or Pro V graphics on the gloves and SLR pads. I assumed that's because Vaughn would not allow graphics swap on the SLR at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I hate the way Vaughn places their logo on the glove. 9 goalies out of 10 have their gloves up in some fashion so it always looks upside down. This is why I asked for them to flip it on my current 5500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi blocker doesn't match anything Bauer has branded a Supreme. It's got a 2 piece sidewall and no binding. His glove is a 2 Piece and doesn't resemble anything Bauer makes either. My guess is that they are both TPS clones that Bauer makes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
