This is my current gear setup for 2017-2018. Usually I use the leg pads and gloves for 3-4 seasons, so these are about mid life now in their second season. Leg Pads: Vaughn Velo 4's (second season) Chest: Heaton 5 (First season, had it in storage, replaced my old H5) Gloves: Brian's SubZero 2 Mask: ReidiC (first season) Pants: TPS GP104 (Second season) Skates: New Graf Cowling with Step Steel, and G50 boot Jock: Brown JB2000 Bag: Frontier (hiding under the gear) Sticks: Frontier and Montreal

Yea, as long as it stays above about -5C°/+20°F you should be fine, dress normally. Me and my kids play outside all the time, half the ice rinks in Switzerland are outdoors Playing in Estonia in the 90's, the temps would drop to -20°C/-10°F, and that would be brutal. My hands were so numb I couldn't hold the stick, and my water bottle was frozen by the end of the 1st period....good times

...and I don't give a tuck

Nice Passau's. Even the other team's forward is checking them out instead of following the puck. And tell your d-man to wake the f up...or did he just fall in love or something? Geez, I thought my D was bad, this guy takes the prize....

Yea, I agree, Vaughn's model numbers have got too confusing. Kayen's list looks pretty good, except the V5 was 7990 and the V4 "LE" (Late Edition?) is 7900. AFAIK, they are the same pad, just different graphic and maybe one other small change. But basically the same pad. http://www.hockeyworld.com/VAUGHN-7990-Velocity-5-Pro-Leg-Pads-Sr http://www.hockeyworld.com/Vaughn-7900-Velocity-LE-Leg-Pads-Sr http://www.hockeyworld.com/VAUGHN-7990-Velocity-5-Pro-Leg-Pads-Sr

I just got a new Bauer Reactor 9000 CA this year, after 5-6 years with my old Heaton 5. I need a mobile CA, and they are hard to find now-a-days. All the stuff I tried in the store was too big and bulky, made more for blocking, the Bauer was the only one that felt good right off the bat. There was a Vaughn that wasn't too bad weither, forgot which, Velocity I think. The CCM CA's were horrible. Couldn't move my arms. I wear suspenders over, and CA out of the pants (never understood how you can tuck it in?). Pants are TPS GP104.

Nope. ReidiC. Just like his old man's

I've been into Frontier sticks the last year or two. Before I was into all-wood TPS sticks, and didn't like foam-core because it didn't feel as stiff. The Frontier 9985G is foam-core, but still feels stiff as a regular all-wood stick. Thinner profile than Warrior. And best of all... Frontier sticks are made in Estonia Here's my 14 year old son with one of my ...errr... now his... custom Frontier stick (reminder to self: have to double the size of my next order)

How do you know exactly who is using it? Are you selling the stuff?

So this is the new GSBB?
