Been in CCM Pro's for about 9 years now. Love them. Will need to replace soon and dreading it!!!

I noticed the EcoPro Neck Guards are no longer on the goalieparts website. Anyone know if they have they stopped making them or just out of stock?

1 knee pad weighs 527 grams

Of course, will do it when i get home from work!!

Everything's expensive over here in the UK!! Unless i wanted some basic Warrior/Bauer's that i have tried and dont like then its importing from overseas for me. But yes, they are pretty pricy.

To be honest, taking the shell off would make them just like an ortho knee brace (yes there is a small amount of padding on other parts of the pad than the shell). If i was to take the shell off, the PAW's would be way more protective that the RXS.

Really easy. 2 or 3 emails to Sven and it was all sorted.

Ordered these from Sven at RXS on 21st January and arrived today in the UK. Coming from the PAW knee pads I was worried they’d be too bulky but after watching Dustin Smith’s (Bonsey’s) YouTube video I thought I’d take the risk. Having tried them on (off ice) they definitely don’t feel to bulky and they fit in the knee cradle of my G5’s well. Sizing wise they are a medium - the measurements I gave Sven were 33.5cm, 12cm below the knee and 43cm, 12cm above the knee. Quality wise they look top notch and not a stitch out of place. Will obviously be able to update the more I wear. Will get a chance to get them on the ice on Friday. Will update on protection when I get hit! Any questions or further photos, let me know.

I have quite a few wear spots appearing pretty quickly and growing (albeit slowly). Disappointing considering the Passau's I replaced didn't show much wear at all. I did think the Optik 2 would be closer, but i had a set of G-Netiks when they originally came out and got on good with them!

Currently in a set of Warrior G5's and looking at a set of Brians. Happy enough with the G5's, just finding the durability lacking. Anyone moved from G5's to Brians? Would the G-Netik V play more like the Warriors or would the Optik 2 be a closer match?

This is how i did mine:

Based on that, i'd think changing the steel is a no-go? Just need to run with the steel i have or get new skates!? They are over 5 years old so they've had a decent run!

In a simmilar vein as the chipping..... My skates seems to have quite a bit of chipping/cracking at the blade holder bit. Now they are VH skates and are about 5 years old so not a warranty claim or anything like that. Looking to/thinking about replacing the steel. Will the internals of the blade holder crumble away when i take the current baldes out or is there no reason to be concerned? Any one else's skates had this happen?

No relegation this year so no need to worry!!

Think its the 21 model, Performance upgrade. Looking forward to it. The sticks fitting were my only concern, so thanks to you and slade037 - confident i'll be fine!!
