DonPost Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 If you look farther down on the form page you'll see his section. Basically he was the lead designer at TPS/Sherwood for 10ish years. Now he is doing one off gloves and blockers on demand. I had an X-lite glove and R-12 blocker made for me over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now i'm in 35+1 Bauer TotalOnes... I'm thinking i'd like 34+1 in something softer with a double break though, like the GNetiks or Velocitys.

Punisher Goalie Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Figured it was better to revive an old thread than start a new one - does anyone have any guidance on sizing for late-80s/90s leg pads? The same style as in the original post in this thread? I am considering a summer project just for fun of picking up a set of gear from that era to try out.

I wear a 34' pair of Vaughn Vision 3500's from 1994. And also wore a pair of 34" John Brown JB250's from 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posts online seem to indicate I would want a shorter 90s pad compared to a modern pad. I’m about 33-34 in almost all modern pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posts online seem to indicate I would want a shorter 90s pad compared to a modern pad. I’m about 33-34 in almost all modern pads. The pad would definitely fit on you shorter than a modern pad and you would actually be using the straps at the knee and thigh. I have found that when I put a modern pad on my leg in stores, the 32" and some 33" pads sit where I am used to them. You have to remember, that with the older pads you will be wearing the boot strap tight or tight-ish and no slack in the toes. So your pads stay where they are. When I get home from work this afternoon, I will throw on my pads and show you measurements etc in a few pics. I can either PM you, or post them in this thread.

bunnyman666 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Also have to remember that the knee and calf flaps were more for protection and not sliding, which changes the way a pad is fit. I have an old set of Brian’s that are begging for me to play some old stand up in if I ever get back on the ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You’re looking around 3 bills depending on how much stuff is replaced, but well worth it to preserve a very cool glove. She will clone it as a brand new glove, but that would cost a LOT more.

Mike24 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I was thinking about redoing it mostly white and adding a Nash palm. I don’t really care about cost it’s my favorite glove I’ve ever owned. 22 years later it deserves a tune up. I saved every penny I could in 96 (I was 16) to buy that glove. I think I paid 289. Which is a joke for a pro glove by today’s standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naz Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Sorry for the delay getting these posted @old but slow and @Punisher Goalie You can see there is no slack in the toe tie as you wear older pads snug and do not want them to ride up your skate or rotate on your leg. The toes of the pad stay close to the ice. I included some pics of the top 2 straps undone so you could see where my knee sits on the pad (it is juuust above the middle knee roll, ideally you want it smack dab on the middle knee roll) Then also included pics so you could see how tight I wear the top straps. The pads really do become part of your leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there was, I took it off, I like the toes pulled together a little tighter, you can barely see the blue skate lace I use as a toe-tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
