Yes. The NYR Heaton 3 32in pads are still available. My email is goalieworld35@gmail.com 

Every year I become less and less a Vaughn fan.

Something about the shape of those make me weak in the knees...

Definitely agree with your statement. I don't know what it is but a Harrison always stands out. I have an Eddy CK that has the same triangular vent shape yet looks totally different than the Harrison in JoshAbrams pic.

Not saying that modern gear isn’t made for longevity and repairs in mind, but it is now definitely going that way, unlike back in the day with Heaton, et.al. I really am surprised that Heaton did not have an MIA* version of gear even back then.  

You could easily refresh foams, etc. and press this stuff back into service when it starts to feel broken down rather than broken in.

*MIA: Made In Asia

I still see equipment that still look new yet the toe/inside boot area is worn/ripped through. So IMO I cant say its better unfortunately.

Yes, 4700 was the Senior version.  You can see the SR tag in one of your photos.

Also, as you alluded to, the H% logo is heat transferred.  As seen in the attached photo, the Pro version had the full H5 rubberized logo.

Thanks for the info. I was a bit disappointed with it being a senior model, you can tell the difference in quality of jenpro btwn the glove and blocker, but then I say to myself that a senior model, especially made by heaton, is a helluva a lot better quality than the "pro" gear of today that is made overseas.

Not entirely lost. Luckily this website has taken snippets of the page over time and you are able to browse to some extent on there.

It would require someone to comb through each page to gather the information and compile it, but it's there if anyone is willing to wander around blindly on the webpage.

Thank you.

Great pickup—I don't know anything about the H5, sorry to say.

Mostly just bummed to learn that GSBB is completely wiped—even when it was a dead forum, those old threads (like the Heaton ones) had some great information, much of which is probably going to be "lost to history" at this point. Of course there will be people who owned/know a lot about older gear like Heaton, but it's unlikely they're going to redeposit that knowledge on the internet for posterity. 

So true. And so disappointing because as you stated, even though the board was no longer active I was still able to go there and search for anything and everything goalie equipment. Still cant believe I got the dreaded http 404 not found page when I was gonna search about these Heatons. :-(

Anyone still using Brian's last c/a model he made when he went solo?

I almost had the opportunity to get my hands on one a few years ago. All white and very well taken care off. Sadly the guy disappear on me after a few messages. 

Good morning gents,

Just received new to me Heaton 5 glove and blocker. I've always been a Vaughn loyalist but have always been curious about Heaton/Brian equipment. Through the years of playing have worn  an entire set of Brian's and a Heaton glove. Anyways, just curios if I can get info about the H5 glove. Since everything of the GSBB has been wiped off the face of the internet I was able to fine Heaton information here but not what I was looking for. I've inserted pics of both the glove and blocker. The glove is 4700 model and blocker is a 6700 model. Was the 4700 a senior version made with lesser grade material as oppose to the 6700? The jenpro on the 4700 does feel less in quality than the 6700. The H5 logo is heat printed on the glove and on the blocker is a raised rubber logo. Any info will be helpful. Thanks. Enjoy the pic.

I see some Vapor in there ???

As per a Graf post/answer in the FB thread, these are just a concept model and they are still working on it. There is no set date of release as of yet.

Did they say if these would be made in Canada/USA or they will be "designed in" stuff I now see with goalie equipment?

not really as it will last 10 + years, most will last 1 to 1/2 under heavy use most beer leaguers prob 3-5 max depending on usage.

My custom Elite 553 is still going strong since 1997. I've tried to retire it and get into a Vaughn 9500 and V6 but I keep going back to my trusty Brown. Back then I think I paid almost $500 for it. Brown CA is money well spent.

A classic. One thing is for sure, they were a lot less expensive back when I bought this.

I have the 550 and the 553 Elite which I still wear and wore earlier tonight in my league game. The 550 looks just like your 500 and put it up for sale on a vintage goalie page on FB but there were no takers. The 553 I've had since 1997 and its still going strong. I have a Vaughn V6 and you can definitely feel the weight difference between two but I love and always go back to my Brown. 

About a year ago I bought bungee cord at Home Depot. I modified my Pro Laces and switched the cord. Its actually the same width as the one from HD. They only sell black.
