ohhhh ok sounds good, Im going to get that with the segmented ones I think. Thats what my Vaughn one has and I do like this unit

it was around 700 or so canadian I think he said to start. Not too bad if it is a high end one. I paid that for my VE8 pro carbon before the beef up and shoulder padding

Ok nice thats what i was considering. So you didnt go with the heavy plastic? Im not even sure I need it, normal should be ok I think

Did you get the extra shoulder size? What floaters did you get?

Ordering the Brown one right now but have some questions. The larger shoulder caps, are they worth getting? Pros/cons? What is the major difference between the segmented and one piece floaters? pros/cons? Im getting the rib protection because 2 skates ago I took one off the bare rip and was lucky it was a slower shot, still bruised bad. Any major reason I shouldnt? I chose the extra bisep protection because hell why not. I hate the hockey I play sometimes because a beginner can come up on me and take 9 a 30 mph shots, then the 10th is from an ex JR player shooting at NHL speed. Catches me off guard all the time when your not ready and its not fun getting stung I dont usually tuck mine in but I was considering the suspender strap holders incase I decide to. Is this stupid? I chose not to get the shoulder lifts because I hate when they bother my mask. Should I reconsider? The fighting strap seems unnecessary, or is it good to keep it in place? never used one before. Anyway if anyone has time to read this book I wrote and make decisions for me I appreciate it

Looks nice, just putting an order in for one now

I'm checking Brown first actually. I like the sound of theirs. Sent in a request this morning actually for one. See where it takes me

No my regular VE8 one before mods

I have the Passau ball hockey one and I love it. I might look at theirs. Looking today though but i hate how you can't try them on. I might ask if I can buy two sizes and return one

Its not really about the actual chest protector now I'm pretty sure it's just too small. I didn't put enough thought into it when i bought it and the guy there told me medium would be good. I took a weird shot to the ribs the other day because i wear it really lose (because it's a bit small) so last night I decided to wear it normal and tighter and my arms were too long. I've been sort of procrastinating getting another because i like this one but it's time now. On the Vaughn site it says large is 70-72" reach and I'm 72-72.5 reach

Short intro. I'm 5 10 185 72" wing span I have been a decent ball hockey goalie my entire life. In 2014 I played about 25 times on ice and loved it. Got a neck injury at work and was not able to play for years again until now. So I'm a semi beginner on ice and looking for advice on a chesty. In 2014 I used a few different units but ended up settling with a Bauer PRO (black and orange looking one) because it was super protective and I hate getting hurt in the net. Now in 2021 I had an older Bauer 9000 reactor and it didn't fit right. Was a medium and I was starting to feel shots. Went and bought a Vaughn VE8 Procarbon size medium. Love it honestly mobility wise. Was not happy with the lack of shoulder protection and arm padding so I sent it in and got them to "beef it up and add a second shoulder pad. They did so and I really like it. But recently I am finding I get caught in odd places where it could be actual big trouble if it keeps up and I think it's the size of my chesty more than the actual protection. I want the most protective chest protector available, the most appropriate size, and literally don't care about cost. I am lucky to make a lot of money at this point in my life and am on a total spending binge for goalie gear. But I can't even focus when playing knowing I might get stung with a bad shot. Tonight I was reaching far for a shot and it hit me right on the front of the wrist and it's been sore for hours. Could barely finish the night. It sucks and all I want to do is wear a bomb proof chesty knowing K am covered. Maybe it's the size also O don't know. Where should I look? I also apologize of this is rambling because I'm substantially high on the beer count tonight

It's definitely needed. I got hit a few times and once my arm was numb for days

Just an update to my posts. I had Vaughn mod my chesty and add the 2nd shoulder cap. Used 6-7 times so far and not hit yet.

It's a different camera angle where he's actually closer. All the gear is approved before hand so I don't get the talk everywhere

I'm a little spoiled with my vehicles lately. 2016 Ram 3500 diesel 1998 Dodge Viper 2021 Jaguar F pace 2021 Sierra AT4 Have used all 4 for hockey lol

I have so much gear laying around it's actually a problem. Like i just bought a new VE8 pro carbon glove for no reason. I already own one and talked myself into another one

Ya i have a pair of old rbk premiere 2s with Passau sliders for outside. I have a pair of older Pro Simmonds really soft 996s for inside/gym. Then use my Ve8 set for ice. Trying to talk myself into needing a new set. I bought the Passau chesty and it's decent so I think i would like the set. It's crazy light also

I am on the fence. I want a set so bad but i already have a set of gear so i don't even need it. Or do I....

I read this thread every week or so and try to talk myself out of ordering a set, because I have a new V8 set. Great post overall

Ya I actually love this glove so much I found a new one same color on clearance last week and ordered it. Its the procarbon but basically the same. The blocker I really like the feel but The angle is a bit much. Im a vaughn guy and I found the SLR was too much from what I like so I got this one but its not my favourite blocker but still decent

Thanks I'm looking now.

Where is the best place to get the proschoice one?

What do you suggest? I don't know how to say it without sounding stuck up or whatever. But i have unlimited money to spend on gear. Literally unlimited at the moment. I'm looking for two actually. A TB color and Boston color one

Is he? Damn. Looks so nice. I might just get mine painted then. I was looking at a new one because my Bauer NME 7 is older. But has probably under 200 ice times. Still in good shape. But I want to be 100% sure my noodle is protected

I tried searching here but was difficult to find. But I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience wearing any of these masks from this company. I am looking for a new mask and wanting to get the Potvin painted one (in Bruins colors to match our team jerseys) and they said they are ice ready and "NHL" spec. But then below looks like it says you cannot use them on the ice. But I'm not sure if it's because of the cateye cage or what. Looking for opinions also.
