For all I know they could be here tomorrow... ...or next month. Not sure where you're based @Drew37 but I would think shipping to Wisconsin wouldn't take too long. True didn't have any issues sending skates back and forth from the Dells to Canada. I am in Northern Ontario, so only about 4 hours away from them. I never heard from them as well so I contacted them and was told they were to be shipped the next day and then I got them the day after that. Shipping over the border right now is a crap shoot. Some things I've gotten quickly, some took forever. I would contact them and check in with your order number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably call within the next day or so since I don't have school tomorrow or Wednesday. It amazes me how small the order numbers are!

Not sure if they ship through them for international though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 @Drew37 out of curiosity I have two questions. How much do the pants you ordered weigh and was there anything else in the box. Shipping label says the box is 8lbs for size small pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some packing fill and cardboard sheets in there as well. It just gave me a flat shipping rate so I never paid attention to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local shop carries low quanity of McKenney gear and I was able to score a great glove set on clearance. Best set I've ever owned. So when I was looking for pants, I was happy to see I could get a pair from them for a great price. Haven't been able to wear yet because of lockdowns but the quality again is great. Chest protectors are hard though. Fit means so much to those. The quality could be great but if the fit isn't right it's hard to buy sight unseen especially without others reviews or videos.

Been wearing their pants for 20 years or so. Owned their 870 c/a on 2 separate occasions. Could of owned the 890 used but it felt small on me. Can't go wrong with them.

To some extent, that is true. I did talk to Trevor on the phone when I ordered my second c/a. I requested an arm switch with the 890 of the time. Not a complicated order but we did discuss specs to make sure I ordered the right model for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieNut Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just wondering how the McKenney C/A compares to the other off the shelf Pro units available. Has anyone on here used both and are they comparable in terms of protection and quality? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone on here used both and are they comparable in terms of protection and quality? Thanks. Owned the Pro-spec twice and it was ample protective for beer league. If you play higher like College/University, Major Junior, Pros, it might not be up to par. I don't mind feeling shots and you could get the occasional stinger. It's a unit someone like Brodeur would have the courage of using at a pro level. The XPG1 which is the newer 890 Instinct is much beefier and would be considered equal to any pro model at retail. As reference, I've also worn Brown, CCM H5 pro-return, RBK P1. I currently have a Warrior pro GT2 that I haven't tested yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 McKenney just launched their XPG2 line. Looks nice. Haven't taken note of the changes made from their XPG1 line. I like the look of the chest protector. Wish I could give it a run. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperton Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I have no insider knowledge, but I expect this will come more as a C/A thing since that's seemed to be their biggest hit. Happy for them regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Notice how it doesn’t say “preferred” or “exclusive” meaning McKenney has the rights to show their equipment and name in the AHL but doesn’t necessarily require goalies to wear it. Super risky move for a smaller brand like them with very few goalies in their equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
