A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I have the PVE 1s and the leg channel has one elastic strap and it isn’t as tight as I like it. Any ideas on how to make it tighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 How come you want to make the leg channel tighter? With the RRC strap, I'd assume that you'd manage to get a very connected feel from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 But are you made of rubber bands and use 45 pointless leg straps too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by their username, they may very well be made of rubber bands at a young age :P @A.YOUNGoalie13 If you're set on keeping the pads, you could probably (or get a repair shop or something to) add another velcro strap lower down the calf like on the SLR2's. I think that should be a fairly low-cost solution, and the leg channel wings shouldn't be too difficult to stitch into, unlike something like the Bauers.

seagoal Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 @A.YOUNGoalie13 Are you finding the pads to be too loose side to side, as in the channel is too wide? Or, too loose back to front, as in the straps aren't keeping them tight enough to your legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 @seagoalYeah its wide so I want to try and make it tighter and @BadAngle41 yes Jonathan Quick is my favorite goalie and to whoever said am I made out of rubber bands like Quick?

I am! Wow, looking good man! Have you considering adding more flexibility underneath your pads and how they attach to your skates? In that photo your boot strap is completely taut and your toe ties look really snug. Those two things are making everything fit and feel tight and you could loosen things up to give yourself more flexibility and wiggle room with how everything fits and feels. Your skates are tightly, flush up against the bottom of your pads but they could be stretched outward and towards the ice with a different attachment set-up such as some version of bungee toe ties and a much looser...or no boot strap at all. EDIT: sorry, I just realized you want things to fit TIGHTER, not LOOSER. Ignore my suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I consider myself more flexible than maybe half (?) of the guys on this board but I still can't come close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hey @A.YOUNGoalie13, just wanted to say that Quick is my favortite goalie too. I love his style and his athleticism and his stance and his gear...I'm a big Vaughn lover and I've used Vaughn my entire life playing net now for about 26-27 years. I also wear a Sportmask just like him. I wanted to make sure you saw my current mask for my team called the Ice Dragons here https://www.thegoalnet.com/forums/topic/2116-ice-dragons-mask-by-head-strong-grafx/?tab=comments#comment-50239 I have a tribute to Quick on the perimeter of the mask and the backplate. Cheers man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
