Teezle Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 16 hours ago, coopaloop1234 said: From what I can see in their story is that the Pro+ has a horizontal bar that goes across the elbow floater that adds rigidity. First picture is the Pro+ where you can see the plastic that spans across. Second picture is the Pro where this is absent. It almost looks like the Pro+ adds space between the floaters and your arms. Similar to how the old mechanical arms functioned. I don't know fi the the RX3 line was the same either, but I'd guess maybe. That was my question answered in those pictures I'm not in the market for a new chest protector, I just wanted to hear what they'd say and hoped to get more details about the differences between the pro and pro+.

I'm not in the market either as my Hyperlite is mostly fine. Though I'm always on the edge of one new piece of gear away from actually being good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I always become good as soon as I order a new setup and just have to wait to receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much the same as the RX3 I think, at least it's not grey and wont get nasty looking in 3 months. Size aside it feels just as protective as my RX3Pro+ which they advertise to be the case. I held the RF2 pro helmet which seemed the same to me. The shell might have different materials but the foams inside didn't seem noticeably different. How's this been holding up for in comparison the RX4 Pro+?

I've been doing a skate with the Wild and another with mixed NHL'ers these last couple weeks and it's standing up quite well. Some really light bruises occasionally but nothing awful. I feel like the shoulder ones wouldn't exist with the Pro+ but the light ones on the bicep or forearm might. So I still love it. These are coming from 1T drills or just slapshot drills from the top of the circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are coming from 1T drills or just slapshot drills from the top of the circles. Good to hear. I picked up the RX3 Pro (not +) and managed to get a bruise on my shoulder from just an upper intermediate skate. So you're probably right with your assessment between Pro and Pro+.

pipe Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Could you pls compare X4 PRO+, X4 PRO and X4 E+ in terms of weight/protection/mobility? Chestie and also pants, if possible... I have an idea about protection from above, but know almost nothing about weight and/on real experience. Still hesitant between PRO and PRO+ chest.

pipe Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Finally, I chose PRO chest, due to its smaller size... Except for a mask and skates, everything else will be Warrior this season. To be delivered soon. Thanx for your help, guys.

Hockey37 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Would anyone with a X4 PRO+ chest (ideally Large) be able to measure straight down from the bottom of the neck guard (as I usually take those out) to the bottom edge of the stomach area?

I ordered the Pro+ and am looking forward to trying it. So far so good. Unit is super beefy but i've never really felt that encumbered. It's not as mobile as my rgt pro or my hyperlite, but mobility is still really good and the protection is better than both. It took a few months of adjustments to get it right, but now I don't even adjust anything when I put it in, including wrist straps. I feel massive in the thing.the shoulder caps are very large as are the arms. It definitely doesn't feel like a "legal" unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an X3 Pro+ and I agree with all of those however this unit is super heavy compared to any other retail unit and from my experience runs pretty hot.

More than happy with my X4 pro. Felt a bit warmer at first, due to larger padding on the sides (compared to Vaughn with almost nothing there), but got used to it soon... Especially like the laced arms which can grow up to 2 inches. Perhaps the only solution for my slim body with long arms...

Hockey37 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Been playing around with my X4 Pro+. Haven't taken it on the ice yet, still trying to get a good feel for it especially the arms. I think one thing that's been hard to adjust to is the hard elbow caps of the Warrior to the "soft" elbow caps on my old Passau. Has anyone done any different strap adjusting on the arms to make it feel better? One thing that seems to make it feel better to me is shortening/tightening the elastic strap up by the armpit that helps pull the entire front of the arm up more. Need to try and find a good solution that would hold up without cutting into the straps until I can get it dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, I had a bit of an adjustment period in the elbow caps to act right. I didn't really adjust them but they're behaving better lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
