No... stupid Labour Day weekend F'd me... hoping tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

Popped into my LHS this morning... must say I much prefer the feeling of the RGT glove vs the G3.  Feeling and closure seemed better... and closer to the old Smith line of gloves.

The R/GT gloves definitely feels better. The G3 feels really thick and spongey to me in comparison.

Is the Optik replacing both the Gnetik and SZ? Looks like they're tying both style of pads together and offering options to customize it either way.

Does this make their pad releases every two years instead of every year?

I think the stock graphic they ended up going with looks better. Especially since this graphic looks alot like the Razor graphic.

Some of the straps are cotton fibers over the rubber fibers which don't melt like poly fibers.

Shhhh.

Don't take away from my attempts at being funny.

Those zones up there are non functional.  Its just stitching, not a color zone.

Well shit. Missed opportunity then.

@SaveByRichter35 I actually don't like your revision. The black set looks a lot better than the green set.

I was mostly wanting some grey and green in the thighrise colour zones while still keeping the black base.

Something like this. Excuse the poor paint job.

Though, I'm never played with the customizer, so I'm not sure if adding colour in those zones automatically add colour above the colour in the boot you already have.

Maybe with some more colour at the top of the thighrise.

C'mon man, be flamboyant in the crease.

What are current on everything except for the current Bauer graphics.But I'm not even a fan of the Lundqvist OD1N, either.  I hate graphics, in general. I love my plain, no graphic PAW pads. Yes- I advertise on them, but that's a necessary evil for me. 

I was being sarcastic since you had used "cut and sew" three times in one sentence.

Sorry, @bunnyman666 what type of graphics?

For anyone who is reading this and has not seen 1X upclose, 1X is nothing like a Gnetik or Velo in terms of flexibility. Please don't think that's what "more flexible" than 1S means 

It would probably be closer to a GT if you wanted to take a direct comparison.

Though, both are still more akin to the stiff side of the pad spectrum than the Gn3tik's and Velo's.

So what, a lighter isn't good enough for the Pros?

Aside from a small layout change and the blank avatars now doing the Google thing, what else changed?

Site is great....if we have a question or idea about stopping a shot or handling a situation, where should it be posted?

It's at the bottom so can be pretty easy to miss.

Currently it's pretty much just gopro videos (which thankfully have their own subsection) but that's the place to go.

Well if you were born in Campbell River you must know how to fish. Beautiful spot BTW!

Yeah, well I'm all for reducing the ferry schedule to 1 sailing per day to filter out the tourists, but as I said in another thread, I'm maintaining my stereotype as a grumpy old man

I do. Just not really my thing. To the dismay of my Dad.

Eh, I lived there for three months till I moved to the mainland. Everytime I've been back, I can hear the Banjo's playing.

Oh, you're one of them island folks? You can stay over there.

I was born in Cambpell River actually and my parents have a place in Cedar (south of Nanaimo)

Not too sure where you're located. But I'm here in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

@coopaloop1234 - This you?

It's not, now I feel like I need to rush home to make sure my gear is still there.

Good Looking Set Chakal.

Smart move to get the double break as well. I've found the thigh rise of the GT's quite a bit stiffer than the G3's.

How are you going to go about and curve them in as you do without the profile lock or additional straps?

Honestly, it was basically the same when I saw it. Perhaps there isn't Curv in the thigh rise, but out of the box they were ridiculously similar.

I've had the same experiences when looking at them as well.

Plus, all the guys at the local hockey shop I go to can parrot my impressions as well. A few minor difference, but essentially the same pad.
