Did you call Bauer directly? Or a store? My store's inventory system has the cost of a Digiprint complete set at $3,419, a Pro Custom set at $3,089 and a regular Custom set at $2,964. All prices USD. AFAIK, price on Digiprint does not differ by design; it's flat fee. But I'm never done a Digiprint set for a customer so I could be wrong.

GoalieParts has them back in stock - https://goalieparts.com/products/warrior-slide-plates-sr-int.html

The green is a refreshing change from the yellow, IMO.

Probably uploaded early. Head to https://www.warriorgoaliecustomizer.com/ and mouse over the left two blank icons. Those are the customizers for V2 Pro and V2 Pro+. Change the number 2 in the URL to 3, which should result in the following URLs: https://www.warriorgoaliecustomizer.com/custom_products/?page=-r-v3 https://www.warriorgoaliecustomizer.com/custom_products/?page=-r-v3-pro Note that if you click LEARN MORE, Warrior seems to have left the V1 Pro+ specs there instead properly listing the V3 Pro/Pro+ specs. Pity that the customizer doesn't seem to show the iridescent logos. What's funny is that you can do the same trick with the M2 sticks for an M3 customizer- enter a 3 instead of a 2 and a customizer loads - but the stick shown in the render is an M2. Maybe a placeholder for now. Doing the trick with V4 just results in a blank page.

This is the Way.

At least at my store, I don't see a lot of CCM gloves selling lately. The single most common things I hear, both from parents of goalies (and adult goalies too) is that CCM gloves are hard to close. "We've baked it, we ran hot water through it - nothing!" Customers are BIG on off-the-shelf feel. That, price and "need" are the big barriers to a sale. Colors - not as important as they are to us on this board. They try them on, get a feel for it, try to close it. The decision is made at that point. Instantly. They won't want to spend time heating the glove up to activate the memory foam or whatever. They'll move on what's next to it on a shelf - often a Bauer or Warrior - both of which are fairly easy to close out of the box. CCM really has to return to the drawing board or review their manufacturing and nail this aspect of their catchers down, IMO.

Wonder if this is going to our store, then - eventually. Our Prosharp is in the employee break room

Seems like it's a Pro Custom option only. Not available under normal Custom. Much like the Vapor 2-Piece blocker option. Maybe some stores will be able to order the Vapor 90 as a SMU?

I saw that oh my goddddddd and @ThatCarGuyfound the customizer booklet too - https://bauer.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/MyBauerCustomGoalGear-2023-ENG-updated03132023

New factory just opened up in Canada - True is claiming 8 week wait time!

JFC. I'm not quite at 900 posts and I get in my own head about whether I'm posting too much

If I had a team with Kraken colors, I'd lean hard into the two Seattle blues that True can do. Alternating the Seattle blues seem to really make the pads pop on the GoalieMonkey customizer. Red spots on the pads like the eyes on the Kraken logo. Navy weave on the inside edge, of course.

Didn't realize Warrior ever went that high. $700 USD chesties in three years, here we go!

Ouchies - $650 for a chest protector.

Yours? A truly unique piece - congratulations.

He has been inducted.

All the documentatio and customizer, etc. stuff calls it the exact same thing, so it seems it is the same between Axis 2 and EF6.

Emboss. I have Axis 2 with emboss and they slide noticeably better than my EF4 with SS. Could try putting 3M tape on them.

True has Eggplant and Teal Anaheim. CCM has Eggplant Speedskin/Jenpro and Anaheim Teal Speedskin/Jenpro Vaughn/Warrior/Bauer/Brian's all don't seem to have Eggplant. They have a Teal, but it may be more of Sharks Teal than Anaheim Teal.

Depends on which build you get (full fiberglass vs. full Kevlar). Fiberglass is noticeably heavier than the full Kevlar. I've never handled an Eddy before, but my full Kevlar seem pretty light compared to a retail mask, but part of that is because it has less foam. Retail masks have a ton of foam on the sides where your ears would go - but these don't. I do believe the NME VTX and CCM Axis Pro are a lighter than the Protech, though. I think the color you want depends on the base color of your wrap. If you're getting a black-based wrap, go black, etc. If you went white paint with a black-based wrap, it'd look a bit odd if you've got some white paint peeking through. Chin slings are still an option. Most people get the cages powder coated. I think Michel can do that for you. If you want a longer or shorter chin, just ask him. Shipping your mold to him? Out of your pocket. He doesn't ship the mold back - I think he measures them and keeps them for a while, but otherwise it is disposed of. Return shipping of your mask is not included in the prices on the website. --- It's been several years since I last got a mask from Michel, so my answers could be wrong!
