I think that the choice of a brand of goalkeeper equipment is least influenced by advertising policy and a certain "face of the brand". at least among the adult contingent of buyers who make an informed choice for convenience, performance and other characteristics, and not because Vasilevsky or Price plays in this brand. all of the goalkeepers listed in the topic have their own high rating in the league as well as their fans and it is difficult to single out the most influential of them in terms of brand promotion

Netminder (out of standings)

because goalkeepers are even more conservative people than the manufacturers of equipment for them

Reebok XLT24 glove

he wants the pad to be sewn from hundreds of individual pieces, each stuffed with reindeer hair

judging by what I see, Hypercomp is the same polypropylene as CURV. just a fancy commercial name. great work as always!

Velocity of course

fact based fake. This is Netminder. lol

pics work. great mod! just did the same

Please note that I am talking about the first generation Supreme and the second generation Vapor. Those are the ones I owned. on the second generation Bauer skinned to cortech.skin.st. and the gliding of this iteration of the skin was worse than that of the first. I can’t say that Vapors, as another line of pads in itself, glides a priori worse than the Supreme line

In my experience with the Supreme 1 S and Vapor 2 X Pro, the Supreme has stronger and better glide and rebounds. and I would never call them the same or comparable. on the other hand, the Vapors sit much more comfortably and comfortably on the foot and really flex easier

IMO

almost two years have passed since the device was repaired and put on the ice. and since then it has been my favorite C/A. light, mobile, cool and impenetrable like a tank. almost impenetrable. in the last two ices, I received a couple of very painful injections from high-level players (former juniors) in the collarbone and chest area. without injuries and even bruises, but it was quite painful. I carefully examined the device to find and eliminate the cause. the cause of the collarbone injection was in plain sight and consisted of several factors. firstly, structurally, this area is not covered with HD foam or plastic / in the photo below it can be seen between the throat, chest plate and fin I took the old Bauer neck protector which I wanted to restore earlier, but my whole experience with using such protections is not very positive, so I abandoned them a long time ago. took it apart inserted under the chest plate C / A and sewn to it "ears" stuck out a lot and even rested against the shoulder cup, so they were cut off the second reason was that the elastics on the device had come to an end. they were fully stretched and the device just hung down, exposing part of the body. so they were replaced now the clavicle area that was previously open has additional protection, as well as the sternum area

I am a big fan of equipment and I am always interested in technical solutions and materials used from different manufacturers. never had Warrior gloves so their internal structure will be interesting. more photos. As always, I follow your work!

if you are interested, I would like to answer your question in more detail. I was a huge Brians fan...until I tried Bauer. I had an Opt1k and it was a very good pad. light, comfortable, with good rebounds. and Primo's sliding was definitely better than jenpro. I even made an integrated knee block on them like a Stabilislide on the Bauer. the first and only Brians pad in the world with such a knee block. You can read about this in my topic in the Mods section. then I got the Supreme 1S. they were in a terrible state, but even before the repair I made them some ice to compare with the Opt1ks. and it was just incomparable. rebounds outside the blue line, sliding 2-3 meters. since I've taken all these pads apart, I don't think the Brians will give the same rebounds as Bauer without drastically changing the core. I've also seen COR.Tech Skin "from the inside" and I don't think that the merit of hot rebounds is in it. the rigidity of the crust is much more affected. I also had a 2X PRO second generation skin. and here they are, sliding much closer to Primo Brians, but the rebounds are still much hotter, although not as hot as on 1S

I haven't worn an SLR but its concept and outer glide materials are similar to the Opt1k I had. The rebound of the Opt1k is much less than the 1S and 2X pros I had. I agree with the comment above that Bauer is a completely different level of play

my nickname also migrated from other forums, where the letters are the first letters of the name, and the numbers are the generation of my favorite car, which I still own

Google translator translates your nickname as Month - MonTH

I've been using the 2 S PRO for a year now and it's fantastic

let it go Netminder said so great and terrible

on the Supreme line, based on my experience of using both the C170 and NXG never had these problems, based on the design of the elbow bend protection that completely covers the gap

and there is. this model is from the good old days when the league was concerned about the health and safety of goalkeepers and not the number of goals scored

it's funny because I own a NXG Fasths C/A and it has a KW signature on it

the more I read this topic, the more I understand that I will not buy Mach. maybe someday if there is a break in the ice or get a spare pair of pads, I use some of Mach's ideas on my 1S
