Is the sidewall shape in the side by side there possibly determined by the finger protection style? I thought that was the case for True gear.

Always appreciate Lefebrve catalogues. They generally do a great job at showing off their options and how they differ. Except what's different with the 615 Hazardous blocker. As far as I can tell, it's just a slight revision of the side board. Looks like the Hazardous is a 20.2 with a Catalyst thigh rise. That's pretty much what we all expected right? Too bad the graphic is fucking awful.

I'd have to try another pad and see how it would compare. You know what felt clunky to me? The integrated calf portion of the Mach. If I was to get a new set, it would include the removal of the calf bracket. Which sucks, because you have to pay extra to have less.

Warrior has been sold.

Pretty sure it's by design. Provide a basic enough graphic that looks fine to push the likelyhood people want something more elaborate or personalized.

It's not like the Supreme line has had a strong variety in colour options. Shadow is up there for more available.

Ever try to find a picture of him actually closing his glove? There's more pictures of him looking sad.

I think the name and graphic on the Mach are better too. FYI, the new Supreme and Vapour lines use identical attachment points for the leg strapping and are made to be interchangeable. So the Tune Fit+ and Tune Fit 2.0 can work with either line. The blend between both lines mostly comes down to small details at this point/

For a while I wasn't sure if the boot outer roll was going to be linked to the vertical line, but Lundy's set confirms they're different.

Here's a better view of all the colour zones. Looks like there's 5 different colour zones plus the thin vertical line.

Pretty close, you're right. I want to get my filthy mitts on these to see them in person.

That's what I thought it was. It's probably a standard stock set due to the gloves being not modified to shit. aka: an actual side wall on the blocker and not a two piece cuff on the glove. Speaking of the blocker, looks fine and nowhere near as bad as the catalogue made it seem. Saying that, still looks like it would be a bit cumbersome. I like the more flexible nature of the older Supreme styled finger protection. Feels like a nice middle ground between coverage and usage. I haven't had any issues with the finger protection either, I'm still surprised it's been changed.

Where are these pictures from? Any actual better pictures of his strapping set up? It kind of looks like the old CRS set up he's always used.

Hockey Shop is having their Demo Sale. https://www.thehockeyshop.com/collections/up-to-70-off-demo-sale-2024 Fun fact, I've used the Small Mach leg pads they're selling.

I like to consider us more Magpies than douchebags. We save that vernacular for the fat winger sticking his unwashed ass in our faces.

You can just say you don't have any Swagger. Yea, that was fucking awful. Without Pete Smith joining on, I guarantee Warrior would have exited the goalie market ages ago.

Ian Clarke the goalie coach is a bit notorious for his steadfast stance on mostly white pads. Except DeSmith gets a pass for some reason. Guess he's lightened up and is only adamant about all white on starter's pads. See, you don't have an all white problem, you have a Hiller problem.

I've never used a Stabiliflex, just Stabilislide. I always have been curious if it's better for me or not. I do really like my Stabilislide as it is though and have never felt it getting in the way.

He also was in all True to start the season too. One by one he's falling to the Bauer Gods

Amen brother.

One thing I did not like when using my all black Mach set was how easily I'd lose pucks in my pads or coming off of my pads. The occasional quick whistle (which wasn't much) did not compensate for my immediate loss of peripheral vision for tracking pucks in and out. I'm not against using gear with a darker base like my blue RGT2 set was, but I'm starting to lean towards more white based gear solely for puck tracking purposes. (plus puck marks are fucking rad). Won't go all white because that's boring. But I don't think I'll ever get a predominantly all black set.

The gloves were mostly due to overall design and not quality control. Over the years I've been trying multiple different catchers to see if anything works and I keep falling back to Warrior catchers, time and time again. Shit, I bought an Ultrasonic catcher recently and even before I hit the ice with it I put it up for sale. I am very much a Warrior catcher only guy. So I can absolutely see how Lefebvre guys are as devoted as they are. Once you know, you know/ Same mentality I have with Warrior products. I get they're a very divisive product and I don't fault anyone for not liking them. I judge them though.

My first pads were RBK 6k's and I had a pair of CCM 2.9 gloves a couple years ago I tried for a while. Didn't like either one. lol. Honestly? My 'hate' for them is mostly exaggerated because I find it fun to do so. I do genuinely think their designs aren't great and they are my least favourite, but, I get why people like them. Familiarity is a huge factor. (plus NHL presence can never be understated)

Glad to see more companies slowly start to adopt an integrated knee block. It's my favourite piece of my Ultrasonics and has been a major reason why I haven't been too tempted at any other brands.
