Guess not so much just the knee stack it was just one of the things I noticed from the supreme stack to the warriors stack. I could feel it compress and squish when dropping down. They also noticeably slid worse and seemed to get “stuck”.

Y’all right locally and on the web it seems like most younger and older beer league guys are rocking HL/3x/x5 and don’t see Mach/m5 much. anyone use both of them? Not to derail the thread but I’m tossing around the idea of getting some x5’s. I have G5’s as back ups and used them for a game and after using the Bauers I hate the way the warriors squish in the knee block and they don’t nearly as good as the Bauers. I know each line has their own knee stack but is the vapors more firm than warrior? I’ll have to be the weirdo buying up all the discontinued supremes pads to have spares

You're high!! what have you been using for stiff pads 2x4's? lol to me they are the stiffest pad that I have used, but i get stiffness is relative to the user. Not saying you're wrong and it sounds like you have some insight to gear but where did you hear there will no longer be a supreme senior line? feel like that would be a weird move since not everyone wants to drop 2K on shadow pads and some people dont like softer vapor x5's. Would just push people into other brands or buying older pads.

so they will only offer the vapor pads and no more senior level stiff pads?

with the M5 discounted and no senior line in the new Bauer release will Bauer push something out that's not their usual spring release?

Bump price drop 1150.oo need these gone to support my gear obsession

I just noticed that the thicker 550 looking cord that runs the length of the boot and the back of pad is cut in the boot area. I’m guessing my skate kept rubbing it and eventually cut through. Is there anyway to fix it or is it an issue? I’m guessing just tie it off so it can’t keep coming out.

Maybe I just didn’t give it a chance but when I tried the eclipse blocker it felt nose heavy and not balanced but all the reviews im seeing is everyone saying it’s balanced and light.

What's closer to a bauer mach/M5 blocker in fit, feel, and rebounds the iconik or optik?

I know I’ve seen this posted somewhere here before but I can’t find it. I just noticed that the thicker 550 looking cord that runs the length of the boot and the back of pad is cut in the boot area.

I want to make sure I’m understanding correctly with your 17.75 ATK you are landing towards the top of the 33’s. So In Theory my 17.5 ATK would be pretty low in the 34 and 33 would be right about right for me? I kow there are factors that play into fitting.

What’s you ATK and size of your Brian’s? I have yet been able to try a set on but might pick up some optiks on SL. I’m currently in M Bauer M5 and hitting good on the stack maybe little high. I’ve read Brian’s run a little big so idk if a 34 will be too big. Their sizing chart puts me in a 33, I have 17.5 ATK maybe a hair over that.

Ya I noticed while trying it on they it was already pretty much broken in and could close pretty easily already. I want one bad

Dang you’re making me want an eclipse glove more and more! I’m in a vapor 90 right now and love the glove closure BUT the only gripe I have is that the glove doesn’t seal the ice completely while covering and have had multiple times the puck coming out and one instance led to a goal. how is the eclipse on covering the puck?

bump any reasonable offers

Last night I rotated back into my warrior G5's from my M5's and I hated the way the pads felt! They were soft, squishy, and slid like crap(too me). My question is for anyone who used warrior and Vapor series specifically X5 pads, did you get better rebounds/ sliding with the X5's vs the G#'s? I'm contemplating getting a set of x5's but if they feel like the warriors ill hate them. I know supreme and vapor are different stiffness profile and i have felt hyperlites and know how squishy they are but are they stiff enough I wont get the warrior squishy feeling. it was mostly the sliding that I didn't like with the warriors. I slide awesome in my M5's and surprisingly get a better 5 hole closure than the softer warriors. Still on the fence of getting a set of optik/x3, ive always wanted brian's or ordering custom colored x5's

Very babied set of warrior G5’s in 34+1.5. Very small amount of normal wear. Blocker has a superficial skate cut that was covered as a precaution. No material underneath was visible. $1300 or a reasonable offer…. https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/goalie-full-sets/7943194-warrior-used-34-1-5-ritual-g5-pro-full-set

Cue optik3 graphics. I want a set so bad but the new optik graphics are so bad.

So to my surprise my LHS had some eclipse in shop. The glove needed to be broken in but felt pretty close to the vapor in closure. The blocker was the first blocker I tried on that felt horrible the nose felt heavy and just felt cumbersome. The optik blocker felt way better and closer to the Mach blocker. I’m still on the fence whether I should order a glove or not. It felt good but something was also just off, then again it wasn’t broken in but already able to close fully. Is it usually the same wait time for a single glove. All I want is the thief eyes on the T….. idk why I’ve always really liked that and always wanted some Brian’s gear.

Is it just the break or the glove itself? have you ever tried on a Vapor90 and if so how does it compare? i keep talking myself in and out of ordering a glove. I'm currently using a vapor90 and love the closure and the feel and no one near me has the eclipse in store.

Where are you finding machs for $200?

I’m a little jealous and I’m not even in the market for a new CA.

Ok cool, I’m down In the springs. Be cool to play at some rinks out there and Denver.

Fit 2 is a medium? Im also in CO so if it is too hot and you want to unload it let me know and ill take it.

I have not and thought about those ive just seen them on goalie and they looked a little snug too. I know my LHS stocks them so maybe worth going and checking them out.
