UCLALabrat Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 37 minutes ago, ZeroGravitas said: For what it's worth, I'm currently in conversation to get a set of SLR4s and I was told 6-7 weeks, as of a couple days ago. From what im gathering the US factory seems to have a 6-8 week quote and the canadian one is 10-14+. Bsuge are you in the great white north? I ordered mine through pure hockey and i thought it was weird that goalie monkey is quoting 10-14 weeks also. Not sure what other US retailers are quoting.

From his profile, it looks like he is in Canada. Wouldn't be surprised if Monkey did not update the wait time.

I tried on some 33+2 in the store. And they were huge. See below. I've been a Bauer Small with the flat Vapor boot for the last 4 years or so. This is my first Vaughn pad. After talking with Vaughn, I decided to go down to a 31". Per Vaughn, going from 33" to 32" is 1/2" on the shin and 1/2" on the top. And from 32" to 31" is 1/2" on the shin and 1/2" on the boot.

ThatCarGuy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Oddly enough they appear they should size the same as warrior and ccm and true but they do still fit bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im currently using V9s in 36+2 and the knee block is about 2" too short. I did the SLR4 customizer before I went in to purehockey so i put 38" as the size. I sent the order through to their rep and he was like "dude 38" are you sure?" Ended up landing on 37+1 cause the SLR4 (and V10 apparently) sit higher due to the flat boot. I think thats the right call but yeah each day feels like an eternity waiting for them to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old SLR glove and blocker are totally gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock is 60, but they offer a 70 degree which is similar to the 580 break. There was a brief period where Vaughn offered a V10 XP catcher and blocker which seems to have become SLR4. Not sure if that's the original plan or if customer/pro feedback on it was so good they decided to use it as SLR4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLALabrat Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 My bad, i thought they still offered the V10 XP but would make sense if they rolled it into the SLR4 since both gloves had the same stock break (well SLR3 and V10). Wasnt the V9/V10 a two piece and the SLR one piece or did i get that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V10 and V10 XP is one-piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it'll be available at custom since there is still a user base for it, but I do understand their thought process behind making the change.

Yeah it’s kind of strange that they got rid of it entirely. I wasn’t a huge fan of it but I know some people swore by it. It was a very unique feeling glove, even though it had essentially a 600 break it was still a fairly unique feel. Also seems weird to me that they now aren’t offering a blocker with a one piece side wall. The XP/SLR4 blocker isn’t that much different than the standard V10, whereas the previous SLR blocker was pretty different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLALabrat Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Emailed them this morning and Dennis just got back to me and said the due date was 4/8, would be right at 7.5 weeks from the order placement. Seems like theyre on track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, sorry I missed this. I was away the day you asked the question and I wasn’t checking. I am in Canada so that checks out. I still haven’t received my order yet. I followed up this week and was told “hopefully in the next couple weeks”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLALabrat Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Mine are supposed to be complete a week from monday. Wait is killing me Pure hockey rep said they would be sent to the PH warehouse, theyd do a quick check to make sure the specs were right and then send them to me. Hopefully that turnaround is only a week but im bracing for 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I've got a widget on my phone that counts down the days until an approximate delivery date for my SLR4s. I was also quoted 6-8 weeks for the set, so I set the countdown to 7 weeks. If it is leaning closer to 8 weeks, I'll have to add another 7 days to it. Going from 21 days remaining to 28, ugh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLALabrat Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Tomorrow is 7 weeks since order date. No update from pure hockey and havent heard anything from vaughn.
