    I agree, but sadly it comes down to money, in my opinion. If they sell the pro spec unit pictured above, that might price out a lot of goalies and affect sales. So instead, they develop a unit they can easily produce in a cost-effective manner that can be sold in bulk to retailers across the globe and sell as many units as possible. 

    This is why we see C/A's from smaller companies perform well, I think. They can develop a solid product and not have to worry about distrubution as much as the bigger guys, building youth/intermediate/ senior units, etc. They can just focus on their product and invest more into it to serve their loyal followings.

    I wonder how close to same profits bauer/ccm would get if they just mass produced their real pro stuff and bumped the retail price up by ~100$. I read somewhere that bauer pro units cost 700$ for teams.

    Good looking thing. Would be nice to see this IRL.

    It keeps me amazed why those big two Bauer and CCM build "NHL only" gear and sell regular customers something downgraded from that. Invest a lot of money to design something special for those few NHL guys (and maybe AHL etc) and then spend some more to design something completely else for regular customers. Like we don't face hefty slapshots or close range snapshots.

    Yeah, if you live in uusimaa feel free to come and have a look at it!

    My highest level icetime is with multiple ex liiga/mestis players and some active div 1/2 players and I often felt like I needed more protection against their shots. It's a friendly pick up but sometimes they miss that top corner and fast bodyshots in my 2x pro often hurt.

    Shame that rinks will be closed for adults for the next 3 weeks..

  3. There is very little information available of this unit so if anyone has questions feel free to ask.

    It is a bauer pro department nhl spec supreme c/a. Bought it from sidelineswap and I'm so surprised how much thicker and protective this is compared to retail units.

    Was wearing 2xpro before this and only downgrade is the arm mobility.
