Trav4oilers Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thankfully you won't see me wearing this garbage. Prob will see Tim McCarthy from Goalie Gear Dork wearing them and praising them as the greatest thing ever in March (ETA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If by some miracle they have CRS or something other than tunefit I’ll be happy. Don’t get me wrong tunefit is good it’s just not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I doubt they have a 3x set out this early. I feel like we normal goalies who aren’t cool enough to get inside info like @TheGoalNet don’t see new gear until training camp or the beginning of the nhl season. Also the outer roll on those looks exactly like 2x. I think its just a custom graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it is the Vapor equivalent of UltraSonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hyperlite but how similar bauers two pads are is quite amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULTIMA Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I almost feel as though Bauer purposely designed less than desirable graphics in hopes of fueling consumers to opt in for the true custom designs. Maybe not the best image to post either, green almost never captivates someone to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamL Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Am I the only one who doesn't care for printed graphics? The detail in the cut and sewn layers on something like the Lefevre gear just screams quality and craftsmanship, whereas the digi-print approach to me looks like the lazy modern way to skin the cat. It's like looking at the detail in a vintage timepiece versus an Apple watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there's pretty close to nothing about any graphics on goalie gear that I find appealing. The 'neatest' thing I've seen recently are Shesterkin's ceiling-of-MSG graphic pads, and that's only because its pseudo-Art Deco. Heaton really started the trend that was, in theory, distracting for shooters. Unfortunately, I find it generally distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like looking at the detail in a vintage timepiece versus an Apple watch. The first instances of the digi-print were off and somewhat faded. They look pretty good now and I'm all for it. Some of the designs that have come out due to that tech have been top tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
