dstew29 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Also not a big fan of the new graphic. Anyone have experience with vaughn custom graphic options (variety, pricing, etc.)? I'd probably go with some version of the pulse graphic or a cleaner setup like Brossoits V7s w/ vertical stitching. No one is like Brians custom, but was wondering if they were getting more liberal with their custom to compete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwarnar Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 @dstew29 I'd love to see Vaughn bring back the V2 swirl... You should contact a retailer and see if they'll do it on a custom set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you order yours? My local shop said I can get the V8s in the iceberg graphic but it will cost between $400-500 extra just for the graphic...

It might be due to the pad being brand new? No other idea why they'd up charge like that. I even got custom specs on mine.

Odd he told me that was the price for the V7s so the V8 should be the same (still waiting to hear back the exact cost from the Vaughn rep). If you are ever back in your store, would you mind asking them how much the icebergs would cost them? Might be collateral for my local store if I told them someone I know can get them at no extra cost or a lower value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits so well, tucks into my SLR pants like a dream Yes!!!! The meme hype worked! Definitely need a review after 10 skates or so. Mostly for my own curiosity. I've been in the LT90, and aside from the unit being designed to tuck and me wearing it untucked, I love it. Just want to see how the newest model holds up Edit: Also, how does everyone get their tucked C/A to stay? I can't seem to get it.

cwarnar Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) @coopaloop1234 I tie the top 2 eyelets for my pants into the nylon loop (on the belly of the C/A) on my CCM pants. Then I run the external belt above the bottom elastic for the heart guard. If that doesn’t make sense let me know Edited February 17, 2018 by cwarnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroy31 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 @coopaloop1234 Same with the loop tiedown. Laces of the pants go through the loop on the front of the c/a. On the SLR it's right behind the part with the goalie logo. With this one I also dropped the front bottom pad down a bit lower so the belt of my pants kind of sits above it and the tuck holds a bit better.

coopaloop1234 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 @cwarnar @Mroy31 thanks guys. I've been tying to the loop of my pants lately. Though still untucked. I'll keep experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 My issue with my Mckenney 870 is the sides. If I overstretch or sprawl around and they come out, they catch on the side of my pants and won't go back in unless I take either glove off and fix it. Annoying as hell during a game.

I inquired sometime ago to get this graphic done on a Velocity 7 and the upcharge was $300 just for pads. I don't think it's so much the difficulty or time or effort to do as to why they charge so much. I really think Vaughn tries to discourage people from getting custom graphics with these kinna prices.

TheGoalNet Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 @Moose75 @ULTIMA - Without a first hand discussion or direct interaction with Vaughn on the topic, I can almost guarantee that Ultima is correct. Custom graphics are a "double edged sword". They are a pain to make, they are a special in the manufacturing process, there's more margin for error (letting the customer down), etc etc However, people love the personalization so much they are willing to pay extra for for it. That makes it a great business case for the companies. So companies love doing it for customer satisfaction, marketing, and differentiation. However, they hate the logistics of it and price in a fashion that it stops every kid from getting a crazy Lundqvist-esq graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn is not the big manufacturing facility one would think they are, but they do enough stock business that it is a pain to do something so far from what they normally do. The charge is designed to discourage many. My own example of this: My prototype charges were designed for ONLY serious customers, which meant serious money! I also had super long lead times. This ensured that people would not think I would churn out copies of a Lotus Sport 110 for 1/5 of the price and have 50 in stock! For that customer, I steered them to a loose copy of that frame that cost as much as what I charged to test a design! Nope- I never came close to copying that bike, but a few elements were used...

Mikesch Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I just ordered a pair of CCM 13A pro return pants and my Brown chesty is less than two seasons old, but still I must ask: Has anyone here ordered custom Vaughn pants or a chesty? I'm intrigued to get pro spec models for both at some point in the future. Would love to hear about options, pricing, recommendations on how to order, etc. Maybe at Vaughn directly? Thanks for your inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
