CCM Pro vs Bauer Pro Knee Pads

[GoalieNut]

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?

The ccms are much bulkier from what I remember

Yeah - they are super protective but bulky.  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.

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.

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...

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.

Exactly what I feel like with the Bauers as well. They are 1x bulky but feel like the old supremes.

Exactly, CCM is way too bulky....I don't usually get hit in the knees either way so it's not needed.

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.

Weird - never experienced the issue with the knee hinge screw that is there.  Just the bulkiness.

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.

They feel bulky AF on your knees anyways. Like a construction worker that works on his knees looking for support type of thing.

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.
