GoalieNut Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Currently using the CCM Pro knee pads (CCM Pro Senior Goalie Knee Protector (hockeymonkey.ca)) and thinking about switching to the Bauer Pro knee pads (Bauer Pro Senior Goalie Knee Guards (hockeymonkey.ca)). Does anyone know if the Bauer knee pads are as bulky or same size as the CCM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 The ccms are much bulkier from what I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Bauer Pro's are protective but not as bulky? I haven't seen them in stores lately due to supply issues that everyone is dealing with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Bauers, they look bulky from previous models but don't feel like it wearing it. I like them. I had the ccms for a game and returned them.

Hockeygoalie111 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I've used both and feel the CCM Pro are the better option. They are bulkier, but I do like the protection and I think they are more comfortable to land on. You won't know until you try the Bauer...

GoalieNut Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Found a store with the Bauer's in stock and I thought that they were almost as bulky as the CCM's. I don't see it being worth the switch. Going to have a look at the Warrior Pro's to compare next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, CCM is way too bulky....I don't usually get hit in the knees either way so it's not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohtaram Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I haven't use non of them (3rd pair of Warriors and no changing brands anytime soon) but I saw the CCM review somewhere and the guy said that screws on the hinge is right where you land your knee and after some time you start to feel that and hurt yourself on that. The author of that review add some foam over there but not everyone want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohtaram Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Just quote what was said on the review. I was consider to buy them at the time but after heard about that decided to order another something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a construction worker that works on his knees looking for support type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieNut Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 I ended up buying Warrior 3XYZ E+.... Sorry, the new naming of the Warrior gear drives me nuts. Anyhoo I have a game tonight and will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
