  1. When I moved from Canada back to Finland in 2013 I also looked in to shipping my stuff back to Europe.. at least back then it made no sense to do that. If you ship your stuff, you have to declare everything for customs. If you take your gear with you on the plane, no need to worry about customs. Also I've heard that right now shipping is very slow and expensive due to the pandemic. Heard this from guys who buy gear from North America and then get it shipped to Finland. As for the plane changes.. You're not able to check in your luggage all the way to the final destination? Do you have to change airports of something between flights? I once almost lost my suit case in Beijing, because I had to change airports and I thought my bag was checked in all the way to Ningbo. Ha. Turns out it wasn't. I was dumb.
  2. Has happened to me at least twice. I'll have to try move the clips on my mask.. Very nice looking mask you got @Vogilny#25
  3. I had the same issue when my Brown was still new and stiff. Took about 10 ice times to get somewhat comfortable and now after a year of use it is finally getting really flexible.
  4. Ha, I used to dislike the Revoke graphic when they first came out. Thanks to this thread the graphic is slowly growing on me. Keep em coming.
  5. I wear a Kova neck guard. I'd say it's probably one of the cooler neck guards that are available. It's reeaallly stiff so compared to other neck guards, it doesn't wrap around your neck so thightly so there is some air flow kinda. I found the stiffness very uncomfortable at first though, but got used to it quickly. Maybe I should write a review
  6. Well, I was considering Warriors and the other option was to order custom pants from Brown. Custom Brown's would cost around 400cdn I think and the Warrior quality seems to be not so good.. But I hope the Warriors work for you. I want quality pants that are wide enough but not too long. I understood that with the CCMs only the width of the pant gets bigger when the pant size goes up. When the pant leg lenght increases, there is a marking +1" or +2". The ones I ordered are made in Asia, but the materials used should be good enough for NHL.. So they should be good enough for me The shipping is pretty expensive and if I get hit with customs.. Well then the pants were expensive haha.
  7. I considered asking people to join for a bulk order, but I wanted to snag a pair asap... Plus multiple pairs of pants need quite a big box. So I don't know if it would be that much cheaper to order together. The pants were 194e + shipping to Polar Express warehouse 16e. Polar Express will charge around 75e for the shipping from Canada to Finland. Last time I used Polar Express, there were no customs fees.
  8. I also just ordered a pair from TGC. I was going to order Browns, but these price on these was just too good to pass. Went with Bakersfield Condors size 3.
  9. I got the segmented shoulders for more mobility, that's all. I don't know the exact differences between the 2400 and 2200. I guess the split breast plate and extra rib protection are the biggest differences one can see. If I were to order again, I'd go with the 2200 with split breast plate and segmented shoulders.
  10. I had ArdeFIN's JB2000 and I got a new JB2400 custom made to replace it. The JB2400 is heavier and possibly even hotter than the 2000. I don't think the models have changed over the years.. They're still like sweaters made of nylon, plastic and foam
  11. One reason is that the catcher is laced together too tight. My Smith glove had zero finger curl for years.. Until replaced the lacing at the finger tips and relaced it quite tightly.. Finger curl started to happen in a month. Learned a lesson then. The Velocity glove is from Kiekkobussi? I was considering bying that.. just to do exactly what you're doing Looking good! Glove projects are the most fun.
  12. Hot water (from the tap is hot enough) and tie the glove shut. Once it has cooled down, catch some pucks/balls with it. Just wear it. Then tape it shut again and allow it to dry. That should do the trick. Repeat if necessary.
  13. Ok, thanks for the clarification! Now that I think about it, I'm sure I've seen pictures of Roy spec Brown.. The back protection sounds like something I've seen before.
  14. I agree. The weight doesn't bother me, that is just something one has to sacrifice to get the durability & protection. But there are definitely lighter units available for those who value that. What is the Roy mod? I think I will too just cut the wings off and change to one wider elastic strap. For the arms I added small strips of black tape.. no more issues. Just annoying when you pay 700+ dollars for a chest protector and the bloody straps keep coming undone. Easy fix though I was very sad when I noticed that the whole GSBB has disappeared from the internet.. Plenty of cool pictures of gear and information was over there. But I'm happy there is a new board and it's nice to notice all the familiar user names from the GSBB.
