From my knowledge, those don't get beefed up to the extent of a Vaughn - have examples where they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 CCM pro pads are completely different than the retail ones (specifically the EFlex) with the cord on the inside sliding surface. I don't have proof besides talking to people in person about how the NHL gear being more beefied and better built than the retail versions. Sparks mentioned Brian's not being beefed enough in the unit he was sent for a chest, not sure if that was a stock or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CCM & Brian's chest protectors are the closest to pro stock at the retail level. I think Vaughns are not close. It's a shame because Vaughn has a major portion of the NHL in their units. Why not just make the beefier version available at retail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still question CCM though as I know a bunch of local guys in the new Premier chest that have had to stop play because they got "stung" quite badly from one of my teammates. While my teammates can shoot, I can't feel any of them in my Brown and I am not sure how that retail CCM would hold up to NHL shooters who are on a different level all together.

mik Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 One of my friends repair gear for pros and for amateurs goalies. In case of retail versions of CCM chests & arms he often says, that they are good chests, but with poor materials, which leads to early rips nad damages... for example, after two practice sessions.

Ghostender Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is great - you have answered a question I have had for quite a while. I used to use the belt and front laces through the belly loop (still do) and had a strap at the back to connect my CA and pants. I recently went to suspenders but they kept slipping over my shoulders. I ended up tucking them in between the floaters and heart guard, but now they ride up on my neck. In my mind my solution was to do exactly what you have shown with the suspender loops, but I never saw anyone doing this so I assumed I was missing something. At the risk of jacking this thread a bit, is this a common mod, or otherwise, how do people control their suspenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to tuck mine under the floaters, this way it prevents my chestie from sliding or moving. This mod also solves the problem of having your chest unit "ride up" during play. I know Passau and Brown offer this as an option but whether any of the mainstream companies is offering it, I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the market for one and interested to know more! It is a typical bib-style neck guard with two differences: 1) replaceable velcro/elastic and 2) removable, washable and replaceable pads that go against your neck and clavicle. Mine is customised with a double-thick clavicle pad as I caught a shot right on the clavicle. A highly cut resistant nylon is on the outside. Dennis does not market this as a neck guard that protects against shots, just skate cuts. The greatest thing? He can customise any aspect you want customised. Mine has a and my moniker.

TheWall0211 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I placed my order for a full set (pads, glove, blocker) of FMad gear this week. I have the names of the lucky people getting the demo gear I have. Should be in the mail this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
