TheGoalNet Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I know Vaughn is testing materials that will act like a impact absorber, as is the industry trend right now. Think Poron XD, D30, or Aerolite. I have no idea if this will make retail or not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks OK to me, except it seem unfinished without something in the boot area. I will dub this the guitar graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mik Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My first pads from Vaughn and first pads without knee rolls. I didn´t have chance to try them on ice yet, so no idea how they will perform, maybe this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mik Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 So have chance to try pads on ice at one practice and two games. Overall still little strange to me, pads are taller than my KOHO pads, have smaller room in the knee area and leg channel is realy different. But I´m getting used to.. Want to ask, if there is any user of Ventus or similar pads, what knee guards do you use? My KOHOs Swiss looks to be very bulky for those pads. I tried my older Bauer supremes (black-yellow), but landing feels hard in them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Ok, so I bought 1S knee pads and it looks like the problem is solved ;). Kneepads fit my knees good and didn´t interfere with pads, landing is good. I know that 1S have their flaws and are no way so protecive like KOHO Swis, but with so long pads and realtively thin kneepads I can close five hole even with my narrow butterfly .

Mroy31 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Saw these on goalie monkey, have these been around for a while or are we finally seeing bigger brands adopt popular mods?

Chenner29 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Definitely new. Looks like they're carrying more accessories. These are new too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ17 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 For anyone who has tried and or worn both the SLR and the V7 XR/2200, how do they compare? Seeing how many pros have switched to the ventus from velocities makes me wonder how much of a difference there is for what is considered a butterfly bad. Also, has anyone found it difficult to go from a shallow leg channel Vaughn to a deeper leg channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Got the opportunity to scope the new Vaughn 2018 catalog. I am trying to get the okay to share with everyone... In the interim... VE8 = Pads, 2x Glove, Blocker, Pants, C&A Pad - Strapping pictured above seems to be the biggest change. Other mentions are the thigh rise and soft foam for "more puck action" XP glove looks to be a 590 style clone with double T 2 Piece glove is just called VE8 pro carbon VE8 C&A looks to have a larger chest / belly insert and Mrazek straps New padded shirt was the biggest surprise to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 So is Vaughn ditching the three versions of the velocity line finally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yes, glove is the only item with multiple versions I would imagine that V4, V6 XR, etc would be available as a custom The XP glove with continue the tradition of not a perfectly matching graphic too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I currently have a Vaughn v6 2200 glove, and I freaking love the thing...so I was wondering g what current model would be the same or similar? Or would I have to go custom and order a 2200? I bought the set very lightly used (he had something like 5 sets he rotated through) from an OHL mask painter who ordered them through the team...so maybe I’d have to go custom?
