Seems like a lot of recreational brands have been using the hinge system for a while. We just haven't been paying attention is all.

So Konekt is the Lexus to Option B's Toyota?

If this never took off (image below), then Singh is in for a long battle IMO.

I see that argument plausible as well.

You play hockey, razzing is part of the profession

Camo jersey...

Where's the goalie? All I see is gear??

Tommy Salo retired?!?

I did also hear and see the bullet proof vest example. Now I'm no engineer but I still have a brain (I'm a goalie after all), and how I understand kevlar vests is that it's a multiple layers of interwoven fabric and kevlar, not under tension, but woven is a multi directional pattern to prevent the bullet or whatever to pierce the vest. The wires on the mask is a pretty thin strand or multiple strands creating a single wire tout under extreme tension, no backup layers or deceleration response like the vest or DO3. The free floating middle bar is probably how vibration impact is dispersed, but it still makes me question as well the difference between a steel bar bend and a full on snap of the wire(s). The man is a space engineer and is surely a mathematical and physics genius but I still challenge the idea. I guess we'll soon find out more if this catches wind in main stream media or even makes it to the NHL boardroom.

Mine lasted 10 years before I started to feel the puck a bit more but it didn't bother me. Had to chuck it as it became victim of mould due to a basement flooding. Would of bought another one but my budget was not up to it.

What a beautiful throwback! Reminds me of my first Brown unit I owned, except mine was used and yellowish lolll Oh the childhood memories My JB503, that strongly resembles the JB500 shown above, was not all that heavy, maybe 6-8lbs. Clearly it wasn't loaded like your 2200. That is A LOT of extra padding. And we all know that breaking in a Brown takes a while but well worth the effort and time. Once really broken in they actually feel like a sweater as most of you say of the Vaughn units, but maybe like a nice thick wool sweater

I very much appreciate the offer. Can't drive right now, had a bad accident at work and still on crutches after 3 weeks. My right ankle (pedal foot) of course. Rain check maybe? I've been searching for a few years now for a Habs goalie cut practice jersey, crest and all like the ones they wear when at Brossard. All I've found online were forward smalls and mediums.

Yeah, and zero customer reviews...so many of these jersey sales sites seem fishy.

Has anyone ordered from www.hockeyplayeronline.com ? Are they legit?

I have one. REAL solid cage. Unfortunately I got a rocket off the forehead of my Reidic and the 2 top screws popped off. Got a few shots to the cage over the last year and no dents, just puck marks. I put my Reidic cage back on in the meantime.

Don't know if there is already a jersey thread so, here is MY question If the online size options are as follows: S /M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL As a rule of thumb, if the goalie cut option is not available, which of the 2 last ones is more suitable for my XL chest protector? Will I really need to cut the sleeves or have them tailored?

Just looking at these, because he untucks, he looks all puffy lolll

Lets not forget that HOW you wear the chest protector can give an optical advantage. Not saying someone cheated here but we aren't in the trenches hearing and seeing all that goes on. If you take a current NHL approved unit, loosen the back straps a little, loosen the arm floaters elastics a little and if possible reposition the shoulder wings, you could end up looking like Giguere and still be within regulations. Just look at how sloppy Tokarsky looked in his set up. I thought he was simply overweight lolll. Look how massive Lehner is yet he's all legal and wears his snug to the body.

For how I wear my pads, that is why I'm selling mine. We're not talking bulky like the CCM ones but they don't work for me like my Warriors.

Recent Instagram post by Goaliegearnerd Wanted to do just this some years ago but never got around to it. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeeeCvqpfJM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/Cej2eNSro3s/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Love the reduced wings and shoulders. Has it been detailed or reviewed anywhere yet?

For the modern pro-fly goalie, this is golden. I don't see why they waited so long to try this, and even more so, why not do the same with the calf portion. A one piece inside wall can only solidify the seal on the ice and I'm sure it gives better knee/leg drive when dropping.

Simmons had an almost if not completely identical graphic back in their early days, late 90s early 2000. For the life of me I can't remember what the line was called. I think it was around their Platinum line days.

Ideally, you don't want to go any higher than the knee block, true. Most goalies have torsional flexibility in the hips and knees enabling the skate boot to be parallel or near parallel to the ice when in their butterfly. I don't have that luxury anymore (don't know if I ever did, coming from old school goaltending in my younger days) and so I feel lots of stress in my ankles as my toes tend to want to point straight down to the ice, sometimes with an angle on a good day (thank goodness for the advent of bungee like toe ties). I'm curious about the science involved as Maria's video was mentioned, and then you have makers without calf wedges, some with slight ones like my Warriors and then some with massive ones like the new Bauer Mach. It's hard to follow what is right and isn't. Other than Maria's take on it, I don't think there has been much written on the subject out there, at least available to the public.

Forgot to mention...the matching JRZ blocker was a dream though.
