    That seems a little odd.

    I bought the L/XL size and have quite a bit leeway (I have 16.5 neck).  

    For me it works protection wise as I wear a dangler also. 

    I'm a 17 to 17.5" neck size.  I can barely close the velcro, and once it is closed it comes loose during the game.  It just may be that the product is not for me, or I could sew an extension in, which would be easy enough to do.

    Do suspenders make chest protector floaters look smaller

    There are ways to put your suspenders ONTOP of your chesty like I do without it hindering your floaters, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that. You do NOT put it ontop of your damn floaters it will eat up inches on your coverage. If you have issues with your chesty it's not for you sorry...that's reality.  Picture for attention on how it should be worn. 

    And YES floaters make a huge difference, and it stops plenty of pucks... that's why it's there and when worn properly you will notice especially on the shooters  picking corners.

    There are plenty of other NHL goaltenders who put their suspenders over their floaters who are still in the playoffs, at least for the moment ;)  Mrazek as a example.  It's all personal preference.  My .02

    I'm very curious if anyone has any hands on experience with the Kenesky units that seem to be floating around the NHL now-I think there is at least 5 of them in pretty regular play now, and the pro's seem to like them-I'm very curious as to why. I posted a picture a few months ago of the Vaughn unit that Steve Mason was using-I now own that unit, along with about five other pro return units from various players (Mason, Mrazek, Cam Ward) and frankly, the arm protection on all of those is suspect at best, and these are all a few years old. The Mason units aren't ones I could try for myself-he's a giant, I'm 5'11, but I was able to play in the Mrazek unit, and got hit with a typical beer league slapshot in the arm, and that thing hurt, much more than getting hit in my LT 98 does right now. Essentially, with all the players complaining about how their arm pieces are dangerous, I don't know how much more the NHL could have reduced the current units compared to what I've seen from the above 3 players and their old units that I have sitting in my basement. I used that Mrazek unit once, and wouldn't use it again because the arms were just too weak for me to feel safe against a bunch of beer league hacks. If their stuff got cut beyond that, then they have every reason to complain, and should be scared. 

    Feel free to message me if you have any questions about the Kenesky unit.  I have about 30 games on it and love it.

    Great pick up!! I hope I'm correct in assuming they haven't seen their last days on the ice already. Where did you find them?

    LOL!  No.  The kit will be my regular Sunday night kit once my groin recovers.  The Texas Stars videographer had them and wasn't using them, so he kindly sold them to me.  He knew I had the legs.  I am stoked!
