Have you had a chance to use the CR3 yet?
Used my CR1 last night, it's a tad shorter than my 25" swagger. Took a bit to get used to it, but I think I prefer it.
Quick, 25" Paddle. It was the only curves in the CR1's that were left over. Which is fine.
I'm not exactly proficient at playing the puck so experimenting with different curves is kinda necessary for me.
All the tension is on the nylon strap.
If I take a picture of it, it'll make sense. I feel like I'm making it sound more complicated than it actually is.
That comment was for other options to what I do.
I've tried to circle what I do.
As I strap down to my calf, I removed the knee wing and buckle. I've left one of the female buckles on. I use the knee block strap from the other pad and buckle it into the female end.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Warriors have available holes as well in the toe bridge and through the heel or toe loop that the ARS straps clip on to.
I just use the buckle as it's just simple.

I think there's a lot of confusion mostly due to me. My bad. We all seem to be in agreement about Brian's quality.
Silly topic really.
Maybe I mistyped. I don't think anyone thinks Brian's C/A's are lacking in quality, I think that most people are just super hesitant to diverge from what they're used to in the C/A side of things that they just pass up on Brian's gear by default. Conscious or not.
I dunno, I, myself included, don't really consider Brian's a leader in the protective market. It's usually the CCM/Vaughn with Bauer following behind that people flock to.
They make excellent quality C/A's though. Just not my style.
I've seen people use bungie cords.
I just use the male buckle that's attached to one knee stack and attach it to a female buckle I keep on the other pad solely for the use of carrying my pads. Doesn't but strain on any of the elastics or clips and doesn't bounce around as it's a nylon strap holding it my shoulder.
Glad the pads are settling in for you. They are a fantastic pair.
The set won't truly break in. The boot break is a tad softer than brand new, but still has a lot of the stiffer flex than in comparison to my old V4's.
Just the way I like it.
lol, quadruple post.
