That's a beast of a bag.  Keep us posted on how it holds up and what you think.  The option of putting your pads in the bag is something I'd be interested in.  But there would be no way that would fit in my Mini.

Will do  Yeah I'm driving a Saab, so it's not the easiest bag to fit! 

Here's my homemade calipers from the Sportmask template  I'm going this route instead of the mold. I made sure the ends were exact, but cutting out the middle without mangling the cardboard was more than my patience could bear. Pulling the trigger tomorrow, pretty excited! 

New Warrior wheeled bag. This thing is HUGE. Pads and all fit inside, pretty stoked with it for now

I don't know if anyone is from Michigan, but my favorite brand is probably Oddside Ales.

Michigan represent  I've only tried a few from Oddside, but pretty legit from what I remember. Old Nation is my fave MI brewery right now.

I'm a pretty big beer geek. I've been trying desperately to get my hands on some Filthy Flow IPA from Mikkeller, but no luck. Talk about some kick ass label art! 

@Thatwentin!? nice work!! Can Warrior do add-ons like that? I've been wondering since I saw the red maple leaf on Shannon Szabados' G4's for the Olympics (it's near the bottom of the outer roll). @Kirk3190 any insight on that by chance....?

Snagged a Warrior STR from Goaliemonkey's sale.

Could someone do custom warrior g3 blocker for me with USA colors 

@Finland??Perkele like this....?

Regarding sticks, are the CR1's the only custom option available from Warrior now? I can't find an option for Swagger anymore....

Heres a 961 clone I made for my brother for his birthday last year.

He painted it this summer in a Letterkenny theme.  

You made this mask?! Do you take orders?

Thanks @Naz! I think he mentioned "Kevlar reinforced" in the ad, but this will help me confirm it. Thanks again for the help

Terrible photo, but can anyone ID this Eddy mask? I can pick it up locally for $40, just wondering if it's worth a refurb or not. Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately any bag likely will be pricey to ship.  I was impressed tho at how compact the back it when they ship it.  They also use their poly shipping bag as well.

You want a carry or wheel bag?

I know. I knew it wasn't gonna be cheap to send it across the border with duties, etc but $50 is a lot for what I figured would be a fairly compact package. 

I'm using a Brian's wheeled bag right now, but it's ready for the garbage. It broke down so fast, but it's nice to only carry my sticks in to the rink. Carry bags seem like such a pain in comparison.

I probably need to stop being such a tightass and just buy the backpack lol.

I like the Passau bag, but I'm not paying $50 in shipping, sorry. I even asked if I could ship it to my sister's house near London (Ontario that is) as Canadian shipping was like less than $20, but no dice. My search continues....

Ordered HAL's on the 16th using the 20% grand opening promo they had running. I've received an order confirmation, but that's it so far.....

I have a wrap kit from Custom Cages (so not a full wrap, but probably 3/4 coverage) And it's held up great so far. With the benders I play with I average a shot to the head about every game, so far nothing more than a few scuffs on the decals, no rips, etc. One thing I have noticed though is bubbling. No matter how well you apply the wrap, it's gonna bubble eventually. 

X8. Good mask, or no? One for sale near me for like $200, just wondering what the consensus is.

Damn, I just saw these and was hoping they had the St Louis WC still in stock, looks like I'm outta luck.

@LordOfTheCrease I used a Zero G chesty for about a year (C adult league level). The body/torso protection was awesome, literally couldn't feel a shot (floaters are pretty big as well). Arms were pretty lacking though, that's why I sold it. From "Razor LE" and the graphic I'm guessing it's an Emery model?

6' 2" - use a 27" paddle on Warrior and Brian's sticks.

The good news is that with the G4 coming out, this means that G3 will be on clearance for tightwads like me!!!!!

Also contemplating my 3rd G3 set.

Can't wait to see what Moto67e dude does with all of his sets with G4's on the horizon

Why not both?

If you loved the GT's, get 'em. The G4's i'm  holding reservations for until I know more about them

Yeah that's true...I won't be doing anything until Feb/March anyways, so I guess we'll see what happens...

I always say never go against the grain. If you're playing well in the G2, stay in that family of gear, I say.

I know, that's also why I'm tempted to see what the G4 is like. R/GT was a bit different than what I'm used to, but initial impressions were pretty good (only wore them for about 15 mins).

G4 teasers have me in a conundrum. I tried R/GT's and loved them, but I'm currently in G2's and I love having shiny new things that no one else has. Soooo....pull the trigger on R/GT's, or wait for G4? (and no, don't post the "why not both" meme, either. Not in the budget, fam)

Wait, $275 USD? Seriously?

Yep, $353 CAD including shipping, so $275 USD give or take, depending on what the exchange is.

So I'm gonna pull the trigger on a Protechsport (the first part of the Sweden setup most likely)  I've been emailing Michel back and forth the last few days, planning on doing measurements instead of the mummy head wrap. I like the Brodeur shape the best, and he also has one 961 shell shape. He's gonna try to fit me into one of those two options. Base fiberglass mask (no Kevlar) in white with cateye and round vents. $275 USD to my door (actually to my sister's door in Ontario, saves me $40 on shipping lol), I still can't believe how affordable that is for what you get.
