I have the passau ball hockey set but i have never held a ice hockey set in my hands so i can't compare. I would say there is more nylon on the pads and blocker. I believe the internal foams are softer too. The pads were kinda stiff when new but have gotten pretty soft fast. I also think the strapping is different.
The pads are great, slide well and rebounds are fast. You have to use their sizing chart because they fit taller than normal ccm/bauer etc. However, durability is a bit lacking, the jenpro on the boot part of the leg channel got ripped open after +/- 20 games. My previous reasony efficency (when they built normal pads) where much better in that department. They're in better condition and i have played almost twice as many games with the reasony set.
A blocker is a blocker. I had quality issues with mine at first, as the jenpro was loose on the front and the palm was not sewn properly. The pinky was rotated so it was the mesh part that got in contact with my stick. However, it was replaced under warranty.
As for the catcher, i have not used mine much. I prefer the feel of my older reasony glove. I feel the passau one is bulkier and i can't catch quite as nice with it.
I would say the base kit (all white or black) is worth it for the price (1650$ CAD). I would not pay 1000$ cad more for a custom set as i feel the quality is not worth it.
