I wish Brians did not stop making the Heritage Classic set up on a regular basis.  They still will custom make it if requested but they will severely upcharge for it.  I am considering either Kenesky or John Brown now for something old school.

A very lightly used senior men's Vaughn Vision 9500 chest and arm protector in size Medium for sale.  It is like new as evident by the condition.

This the Canadian-made Pro Spec model.  A good combination of great protection with great mobility for the ice hockey goalie.  

Vaughn will still make this chest protector on custom order for $899 CDN plus tax and shipping which makes it over $1,000 new!

Selling for $375 CDN dollars or $280 USD

Will ship at buyer's expense.

Spoiler alert - I love these pads, and if you grew up playing in the "old days" when goalies stayed on their feet, pads were leather, and you strapped them on tight, you will too.

I uploaded this picture in the new gear thread before, but for easy reference, I'm adding it here also.  I ordered these pads in mid September, and they arrived one month later.  Brown Hockey was a pleasure to work with the whole way through - great communication, and they met their promise in terms of timing.  

I have been using these since the day they came in, probably about 6 games total and a couple stick and puck sessions.  Here are my takeaways: 

• They are a bit heavier than the Vaughn V5s I was using before, but not much.  Way lighter than the old leather/deer hair pads I used to play (Brian's Air Pac's, I think, from about 92 were my last pair)
• Build quality is excellent - I couldn't be happier with the look and feel.  They are breaking in nicely also.  
• There are a couple velcro straps around the calf that seem redundant to me - if I ever order another pair, I would request to have those left off.  They're not a huge issue, and I will probably cut them off at some point.  Just adds a bit to time it takes to put them on.
• I can and do butterfly, but I play like I learned to play in the 80s, which I was.  The 2100s are a late 90s style of pro pad, so they are perfect for me in that regard.   I can't say how these would do with more modern goaltending moves - I would think of you like to butterfly slide all over the place, these are probably not for you.  
• These pads are soft, but they do kick out some rebounds.  Not rockets, but on par with the V5s. I'd say.  Firmer rebounds than my old Brian's, I think, which takes a bit of getting used to, but is actually kind of nice.  

Anyway, as I said above, I couldn't be happier with these pads.  After a a few outings, they started to feel like part of my legs out there - not very heavy and easy to skate/move around in.  

I'm also loving the gloves, but will post about those later.  

OMG so Kozzy you are the lucky guy who got this set from Brown.  I saw it on their Facebook page.  I am considering ordering a set from Brown as well.  My question is can you really go down in a butterfly in these 2100 pads?  I am a hybrid goalie as well but more of a stand up type but occasionally like to lay the pad down flat on the side.  Do these pads rotate OK?  Are there knee sliders to land on here?

Your input and feedback would so much appreciated here.  Thanks!
