@TheGoalNet does the 2" height interfere at all with mobility/looking down? I'm ordering a neck guard from Kova, and I'm trying to figure out height. Ideally, I'd like to maximize protection and go 2.5" in height, but I want to avoid that "too-tight necktie" feeling and maintain full movement.

Thank you! Thanks! Yeah, other than Hellberg's Brian's setup, most of them go with a white base. Kind of underwhelming when those colors look so great together. Thank you

Update: I've dropped to a 26" paddle and love it. CCM EF4 and Warrior foam cores.

Total potato pics, but here's two of me from a skate this afternoon.

Two of my recent conquests. CBS (and KBS) is no longer after this year, so I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Just...meh. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to get the appeal. The New Glarus however, was fricking fantastic.

This was discussed in the Optik 2 thread as well, kind of a trend at this point. McKenney, Optik 2, Hank's Bauer set, now V9. It's like the 2019 version of the sock graphic.

Looks like a hybrid of the original G2 Euro/G4 graphic.

Picked up a set of EF3's in black/vegas gold Undecided if I'm keeping them though...

Sorry for the bad screencaps, but further images from the Goalieverse on FB.

I can't get the photos now, but there's about 4-5 more images in a thread on the Goalieverse group on FB. Stock catalog imagery showing front/back/sides of the pads and gloves. Pretty interesting design. Also, it was mentioned in the thread that CCM has a new mask line coming for this launch, also called Axis. I'll add in photos later today when able.

New wheels are on, just need some coilovers to get rid of that unsightly wheel gap. I'll probably wait until spring for those, along with other mods I have planned. (Also, dya think my neighbor's trying to tell me something about my driveway...? )

I had the same thing happening with my G2's. I was in a stock 35+1.5, landing on the top side of the block. Overall pad length/thigh rise was great though. I ordered a 36+0.5 when I ordered my G4's and they're perfect. Almost identical overall height next to my G2's.

No kidding! It took me about 3 months to find one with the newer body style (2008 on) and the turbo V6. Volvo's wagons are beautiful, one of the few remaining wagon options it seems..

New gear hauler for me! Finally got a wagon, Saab 9-3 Aero. I have it tuned (apparently around 300HP, haven't dyno'd to confirm) and wheels are on their way. Some obligatory photos of my setup thrown in too

I believe the Premier line is going away. A replacement with a new name would make sense. They're probably not ready to replace the EFlex line with their flagship goalies still in it (who all seem to favor a flexible pad - Holtby, Bobs, Price).

Man, I wanted this so bad but wasn't sure if it'd fit my large dome. Congrats, its a beauty!

Picked up an Eflex 4 stick at the Perani's warehouse sale. I'd seen these custom colors a few months ago and was hoping they'd still have them at the sale, and I got the last one Ended up being $160, so pretty good price also.

Damn, these are beautiful! They're going to look amazing

A steal on a beautiful vintage Ducks setup (with a cool description by the seller to match ) https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/goalie-full-sets/969964-warrior-new-ritual-gt-classic-pro-goalie-full-set-regular-senior

Perani's warehouse sale is coming up, starts July 18th. Also not goalie related, but The Athletic is 76% off today for new subscribers. I just subbed for the year, cost like $15. Pretty good deal for decent sports journalism.

Not me

Thank you sir Here's some pics:

You're welcome! Ahh, that makes sense re: the loops. I'll have to try that out

@Deltadre @Peter36 it ain't pretty to look at, but the review is up

Final update as of 1/16/20: I'm still really happy with this chest protector. For a Sr level product, it's held up very well for me, and no stingers to report thus far. I skate an average of 2 days a week, low to mid level skill. This unit may be inadequate for A-level beer league or junior hockey, but I've taken some relatively hard bombs in it and came away unscathed. @Kirk3190 makes a good point below about adjusting the arms. My first few skates my elbow was falling out of the cup, but I adjusted the arms and the issue went away. I also noticed the unit riding down in the front after a few skates, so I made a few adjustments and it went away. My concern with the forearm blocks has been a non-issue, I haven't noticed any interference with my gloves during a game. I probably mischaracterized this unit as bulky, as @estogoalie points out below. It is extremely mobile. I meant that in the sense of protection, this unit is very beefed up. Visually (on ice with a jersey over top), it "appears" very large as well. Overall, I'd say this is a great piece of equipment for a rec-level goalie. Similar level of protection as a pro unit at a decent discount.
