Hey y'all, recently picked up a Bauer Hyperlite Chest Protector off Marketplace but they didn't have the extensions. 

Doesn't have to be specific to the Bauer Hyperlite, I'm fine with any extensions, but specifically the front belly extension. 

If anyone has anything kicking around I would definitely consider it!

Thanks y'all 

Pretty sure he's responding to emails still. Did an inquiry the other day and anything booked now production is due for September. 

Back on my G3 catcher there had to be some more adjustment, but with the G6 and the refinements that have come since then, and obviously the G7 moving forward, the process of adding and removing the palms is pretty foolproof as all the spots to line it up are clearly marked. 

I do this once a month on my G6 and no issues. I did mark the tightness on my straps with a sharpie, so I can dial it in everytime though.

I didn’t specifically mention the pads. And I said Custom options are great when you order custom. I*** personally am not a fan of the removable palms etc that Warrior does. And that’s what I meant by trying to be everything to everyone. With the 6.1 and now 7.1 they don’t require that which again “to me” is a step in the direction I like. 

 

 

 

Personally it's not just customization for the palms. 

It's the fact that after 3-4 seasons I managed to refresh my gloves completely by just buying new liners, extended the life of my purchase. 

That after every few months I can wash it so my hands don't reek of death after games.

Coulde we see the whole set please? 

It was a demo set that I didn't take pictures of... That said we're hoping to get a video up eventually.  

Here's a screencap of @Lemieux in action in the set though.

So it looks almost like they did a horizontal strap to the lower ROM attachment point on the Mach. 

@seagoal was first lol 

Yup. 

Played in it last night and the grip on the internals made a difference. It's an improvement over the Mach, but I still prefer Warrior's implementation. 

Here's the shadow strapping for those curious.

After getting to use this thing I can say it fits bulkier than the 18. My only gripe so far is that the wrist straps are nylon with not much room for adjustment as opposed to the old elastic one. 

What areas are specifically bulkier do you feel?
Shoulder floaters for sure - with the lack of segmentation i'd bet.

Time to revive this old post.

1st - Posts from Hockey Shop of Horrors here, highly reccomend his work.

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0yPFVnY3dtFxxz7rjFAFD3h7LJ5NrMhjd5qsFgw8jmSep2jUQm2grk1EDagmKEcrjl&id=100073726163483&device_id=6db6dfe6-194f-4e3e-abde-2ca30a9338ee

Detailed desciption - got a McKenney body from a buddy here - and decided to add the warrior parts i loved. Ended up hating the body as it was too large for me still 

Traded the body away for some black steel for my skates that are still waiting to be profiled and sharpened. 

The arms? Oh my goodness they are fantastic - very heavy, but very beefy. These are the CCM AB500 arms i've had on there forever with some McKenney floaters, and all of the beef ups as described in the link above. 

2nd - 
So - keeping those arms, I had the leftover parts body, which I installed the neck and heart guard off of a Vaughn vision. Can't give this warrior body up - i'm at the point where I keep getting bruised up in this unit. Used it like this for the last 6 months or so. Added extra shoulder caps and a row of belly blocks to beef up this unit. 

 

3) 
Scored a used CCM Pro Medium off FB Marketplace for $100 CAD. Not bad, not great, not terrible. CCM Premier arms, wow they are stiff. Now I am reminded why my original arms (which are CCM) have lost their original elbow floaters. 

Anyways, easy fix - throw my modded to hell and back arms on.

Now I do want to do a few things - these arms are actually a wee bit long on me still - so i'd like to shorten the arms and change the attachment style to what most modern c/a with removable arms use (velcro strap) and the white colour on the mckenney floaters are too ... stand out there. Any suggestions on dyes, or paints? Thinking of finding some fabric paint to black it out ... thoughts? 

 

EDIT: If i hate how huge these CCM floaters present themselves, then you bet you'll see the return of the Warrior shoulder floaters. 

For some reason last year before I burnt the Warrior Chest protector into oblivion (jk i threw on scrap parts and donated it to a ball hockey goalie), there was actually a video done explaining every piece of it.

Hyperlite 2 / Vapor 90 Catch Glove Video from Spring 2023.... just uploaded. 

Side note: We're doing Bauer Shadow video tonight, we swear it won't take a year to upload this time. 

Review from last Spring finally uploaded. 

I am now fully aware 99% of what I was describing was off-screen. 

Going to necro this post too. Recorded last spring... don't worry we'll get a G7 video up soon. @Lemieux

Some video backlog was finally finished up by @Lemieux... this is from Spring 2023.

Sounds about right. Usually Summer is done by first week of August at the latest, leaving a terrible 3-4 week gap where I have to fill my time with activities other than hockey. 

Gross. 

Gross. 

I actually have a year round shinny that goes something crazy like 48 or 49 weeks of the year, so pretty much I rarely have any weeks without hockey. 

August in Vancouver without hockey sounds sweltering. You should start a beach hockey club at English Bay.

Is it June allready? 

By the time June hits I'll be 1/3 of the way into Summer season already!

(Winter season is September to April, summer season is May to August). 

It's been awhile since I've won anything.

$470 CAD for a stick is absolutely fucking absurd 

Humongous beeg price

Px3 superiority club, unite!

Do plebs in 7X3's like me get to join in too?

Wasn't in Machs (but have worn Sr S Machs), but was in Sr S in GSX (same boot/fit as a Supreme line pad), and in a Hyperlite briefly, went 32+2 in Catalyst.

That's some @Kayen level of abomination. 

It's art sir. Art. 

I'd be interested in getting my hands in some Kenesky arms (literally). 

Problem with the CCM arms is the mesh/nylon they use. I've come across 4 different sets of CCM Premier pro arms at this point and they all have the same wear/tear at the top of the inner bicep. 

I believe it was the other week I was somewhat lamenting over in the "Show Off Your Action Photos" thread that I wasn't quite fully matching... or at all for that matter.

In any case, I took some steps to rectify that. Still not "fully" matching, but I can't quit Warrior catchers. 

League had a photographer out at one of our games this season. This rink being inside a mall. Massive  sweatbox. My mismatched gear sorta bothers me, but at the same I don't care.

Well that's good to know, what do you get your blades cut at?

3/8 

Easy solution but not perfect I've tried is similar to what TRUE has done on 20.2/PX3 - a Nylon knee strap in lieu of the elastic strap. 

On my Bauer GSX I opened up and stitched everything a bit tighter with extra jenpro reinforcement to achieve a *slightly* stiffer block.

Even with them being at the second price point?

Doesn't make sense to me to pay $1400-$1500CAD for a second price point pad. 

Actually $2000+ off the shelf pro pads don't make sense to me either. 

In both cases why not just spring a bit more for custom.
