WhatsThatSmell

I originally was wearing the McKenney 870 but I couldn't figure out how to untuck comfortably without the whole chest riding up into my mask. Found an old Vaughn Epic 8800 that fit exactly how I wanted but I could feel almost every shot.

Why not mix them together and fill the gaps with an old pair of Graf G700 pants?

Here is the project half finished. The old Vaughn elbows were almost nothing and would not fit over the beefed up arms. You can see the some funky stitching on the right forearm as I could just barely fit the extra padding without needing extra fabric to close it up. Added extra shoulder flaps to cover the Vaughn gaps using the sacrificial Graf pants. Doubled up the shoulder floaters but might revisit this, I was worried about the little exposed part that the McKenney shoulder doesn't cover at the bottom

Original arm and forearm padding.

Extra foams and plastic from Graf G700 pants.

Finished product for now. Shoulders are a bit high but not an issue when crouched. I am thinking of addressing the stomach but this thing is already getting heavy.

Hockey monkey replied to me today, which went like this 

Sorry but you got what you ordered our Nashville colours are blue and white, the picture on our website of yellow white and blue are completely wrong and we've never been able to get them 

So they offered me a discount to keep them, which ive taken, only for the fact i have no clue how to reclaim my customs fee, bar that id of sent them back 

For reference i cant find any images on the web of my pads, not even in the warrior pdf. 

Mental 

I think I see what happened. Looking at the Canadian Hockey Monkey website on the warrior pads page it SHOWS in the pictures the Nashville colours but in the selection box it says Black/White. 

I hope they have given you a sizable discount and I hope you can still enjoy the pads.
