Hey guys! So I have tried to research this on here, but either am not good with the search function or am using the wrong Keywords. Does anyone know how to remove puck marks from jerseys? I have this white Coyotes one that is absolutely gorgeous, but is covered with puck marks. I was thinking of using the classic magic eraser, but am worried it may be a bit too abrasive. Let me know if you have any ideas!

Would you guys recommend this on a brand new set of Bauer pads? I was thinking it would increase the longevity of the pads, but they have CORTECH skin so I don't know if it will be worth it

It's been a long time coming... but the bauer's were at an absolutely ridiculous price that I couldn't say no to. Being budget oriented is really tough as a goalie... haha

Thank you for this information! I kind of assumed they would break in somewhat, but didn't know if it would be that significant of a change! I just get worried because I work on a tight budget, so I do end up having to do a lot of online ordering. Thankfully, being 6'4'' allows me to find a ton of gear for relatively cheap

Thank you for the warm welcome! I was half expecting that it would be significantly different. That's kind of why I invested in a new, more modern set to kind of experiment if that makes any sense? If I do end up hating them, then I can always use my V4's until I find something else I prefer. If I do end up hating them, I may look at finding a modern double break.

I currently run a lundy loop with a really really loose leather strap on the Vaughns. Would you suggest no strap, or even a loose lundy like I am currently running?

This is great information as well. It's crazy how these pads I have are considered vintage already, even though they're not even that old!

Thank you for this informative post. I've actually emailed Vaughn this morning as well to see if they had any information regarding this spec that was made. Hopefully they get back to me! For what it's worth, the Vaughns have less total inches from the top of the knee landing/knee blocks to the top of the pad than the Bauers do... about 8 inches vs 9. I hope that the Bauers won't be too big as a result!

Hello everyone! Longtime lurker, first time poster! I had a question in regards to pad sizing. I currently own two sets of pads. One is a V4 pro spec set (was a goaltending prospect for Boston once upon a time) and a regular s29 set. Now the Vaughns fit great, and I love them but I wanted to try a single break leg. I ended up ordering online the Bauer pads and I am excited to try them out next season. Now my question is in regards to sizing. I was worried the bauers would be far too small for me, as the Vaughn's are listed as 38 inch! I'm guessing this means they're closer to 36+2 if they used modern style of sizing. Now the Bauers are XL, and Bauer lists them as 36+1... however as in the attached image they are identical in size! I was pleasantly surprised! My question for everyone here is what exactly could cause this discrepancy? I've read that Vaughns sometimes shrink due to age, but the goalie that had these pads before was even shorter than I am, and his ATK was shorter. Thanks again if anyone can help answering this mystery!
