    I would love this too.  XL waist with internal belt, trimmed pant length and my proprietary  "super secret design for super cheater 5 hole webbing"...lol

    Don't forget the plastic pipes for the extra leg width

    @Tr33guy - welcome to the board!

    If I can ask your budget?

    If it's around 600 USD, you can get a custom padded pro level mask from Masked Marvel ( @Joe Messina ), Protechsport, or Coveted ( @ron@covetedmask.com

    This will be safer, higher quality, and longer lasting than any of the masks you're referring to above 

    All good choices. But if we are now talking T3, I've had a couple, no issues, no injuries. Huge upgrade over Hackva

    1S is by far the best stick in terms of lightness and feel that I have ever used. Downside is the price. If you're ok with that then there is no better stick on the market right now for all out performance. It won't be as durable as some of the heavier sticks though. 

    Amen to that. And as to durability - Bauer comps have a pretty good track record compared to the other companies.

    Time for a new helmet for my son and for another helmet question....

    He will be playing high school hockey this winter, he is currently in a Hackva which is starting to show its age. My question is about the Sportmask X8 and how it compares to the Bauer helmets in terms of protection (is it like an NME 5 or the 960 etc.). I understand a helmets fit is the most crucial aspect, so that will obviously play a role in the decision. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

    Sportmask X8 is a mid level mask as apposed to pro level. For mid level it is as good as any. Tends to fit a wider head than Bauer. An upgrade from Hackva.

    Guys, need some opinions. Here's my set. (I know, very white). Would you go with a black mask to mix it up a bit or go with the white mask and keep it all white? I'm on a couple teams so jersey colour is all over the place. 

    All white all the way - keep it pure (you can get white pants made if you want to go all in!)

    I'm looking at grabbing either a Coveted or Otny Mask, both made in Canada, just seems you can only buy Otny masks via GoalieParts.com in USD where Coveted are sold directly by Ron and crew.  I live in Canukistan so further shipping and conversion to canadian rupels doesn't work out in my favor...

    I assume you tried here (the OTNY site in Canada)

    Yes I told him about the website.  He said he doesn't have time for message boards at the moment but would check it out when he could.

    Hmmmm...pour some hot water on my glove, close it how I like it, wrap it in a towel and sit it in front of a fan to dry...or...throw a puck at it a couple hundred times.  Yea, that's a tough choice to make :eyeroll:.  

    ok 50 times and 3 practices.

     

    Hot water will loosen it up, but not make it form to the way you want it to close.

  8. Gloves are so game ready now. Best to put in the skate oven when you buy it, loosen it up and get the shape you want. Get a weighted puck toss it in for a couple hundred times. After a couple practices, broken in.

    No need for all that water mess.

    In order not to upset the apple cart, I have started an old man topic. But I had better get going as the senior discount at the Sizzler starts in a minute!

    AWSOME!

    So am I in the club?

    Guys please keep it on topic.  Take the old man club chit chat to PMs please.

    Can't leave me hanging!

    So we need an "old man chit chat club" topic.

    sorry - last post!
