Oshnatour Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Assuming I even could find a slot and order some 20.2s this spring I'm on the fence if I'd want to spend that kind of coin on a set of pads just yet. If I were to decide to wait for say the 20.3s or even 20.4s, I wonder if I'd still be able to have pads made in the Lefevre factory, not just outsourced non-pro pads made by True in china somewhere. If we were close to the end of non-pro Canadian made Lefevre pads I would be alot more willing to pay up now before they're gone. Does anyone know anything, or heard any rumors about True's intentions to bring the pads to a more mass market? Maybe a two tiered system or something?

At the moment, the plan is to follow the skates Custom = Made in Canada Stock Retail = Off Shore There will be a 12.1 Custom and a 12.1 Stock basically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 That makes sense. Once they get retail up and running that should greatly ease the load on custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, it's going to Asia if orders start picking up as they have, but at that price point no thanks. Hopefully they start adjusting that. For now, I will stick to discounts I can find from a few for CCMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravitas Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) True/Lefevre need to bring the patches back. The "Handcrafted by Lefevre for..." looks really cheap by comparison.

Which retailer did you order your set through? My order went in on March 28th but I don't think Pure had guaranteed production slots like some places did.

They're approximately the same size, I lined up the knee blocks. Hard to do a 1:1 comparison because the boot angle is different and the 20.2s are much straighter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravitas Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Since Pure Goalie seems to be selling them now (12.2 Blocker, 12.2 Catcher and 12.2 Leg Pads), it seems like it's OK to post about these. Made in Vietnam - probably why they took so long to release - these were delayed once already to July 2022. Same county of origin as Warrior, which still hasn't come out in stores and had their custom program temporarily shut down, and CCM, which had some delays last year with their custom program and a delayed release date this year for Axis 2. Pads seemed a little bit heavier than the Canadian-made versions. Closure on the catcher is pretty good out of the box. The two white leg pads I saw had the FastGlide material on the landing edge. The one black pad I saw did not. Makes sense as the True/Lefevre Customs only offer FastGlide in white. Pads come with Pro Laces - I'm not a Pro Laces expert, but I think they are the Hybrid - they have the little Velcro "washer" near the bridge. Gear looks to be pretty solid. Not sure if the white pads had a defect in the leg channel - the material looked white with bits of blue in there instead of being a plain, pure white. It's more pronounced in the leg channel than it is in the thigh - see the picture in my post above with the little specks everywhere. 20.2 gear should be coming later this year, too.
