i have a bauer one like the bib thing, ive worn it, its an XL so it would fit looser i just couldnt breathe with it, id rather be able to breathe, ill prob just throw on a dangler if anything jappens

You can’t just wait until you break your collarbone or shatter your larynx to get something. Luckily when it was time to wear a neckguard, all I got was a bad bruise in my sternum when it could’ve been worse, and that happened when I had just a dangler on. If you’re not gonna put both on just put the throat/neck guard on. 

Unless you heed everyone else’s advise it isn’t anyones fault you get hurt but yourself. 

And if it helps, attach the back side of your dangler thru your ear holes so it doesn’t limit your view as much

My setup for this upcoming year

Pads- CCM EF2

Glove and Blocker- Vaughn v7 Thomas Greiss pro returns

Pants- CCM Eflex 1.9, size XL 

Chest & Arm- Vaughn v7 XF

Skates- CCM RBZ 80G, size 11 EE

Neck Guard- i took mine off, currently dont wear one. The collar ones choke me and danglers are annoying

Mask- Bauer NME 4, looking to replace it with a bigger one, currently a 1 size fits all but ive found 1 size doesnt fit all

Cup- Bauer Vapor

Knee Guards- Bauer Vapor x900, similar to fleurys ancient nike bauer knee pads

Sticks

Currently have 2 sticks, Warrior Swagger SR2, 25" paddle with Quick Curve, and a Sherwood GS530, 26" Broduer Curve

I would advise getting a neck guard, don’t go the same route as trav4 did in breaking his collarbone / neck.

Most just use velcro which does the same thing but is less gimmicky.

Or actual straps which does the same thing but is less pre-school 

It isn’t pre school if it actually does its job I actually like it

yes, Vaughn could be doing a lot more than just playing around with magnets but I think they nailed it, just gotta upgrade their pad face more

@estogoalie @Lucky Pucker They are incredibly satisfying to buckle up. If I could just put an SLR leg channel and straps on the 2S pads, that would be my *chef's kiss* perfect pad

I don’t know why more pads don’t include something like this. It’s insanely comfortable and when you clip it, it’s not gonna clip off. I’m so glad this type of strapping is identical in the PVE pad. Minimal strapping but plays like a hybrid pad

Confirmed $100 for cut/stitched VAUGHN logos for mitts and pads.

Jeez.

Ah, yes. Good catch.  That brown with the sport gold looks incredible. 

I like the word VAUGHN in brown,  too. It is nice to see them offering cut/stitched on letters.  I confirmed with Vaughn for my recent custom order there is a hefty upcharge for non-transfer letters due to time and difficulty.

I passed and stayed with a black transfer.

How much was the upcharge?

Back on topic, looks like Vaughn may have, knowingly or not, copied the Factory Mad logo for these pads. I think Dennis from Factory Mad is a former Vaughn employee:

Maybe it’s just the way the colours were chosen, but it looks so obvious.

Pretty sure that’s Quick’s custom graphic.

I think it's the camera angle mixed with a white stick against the navy weave. Looks around 25-26'' in the first picture.

For me it’s the stick placement lol. hopefully you’re right though

@southpawtendy48 It's about impact not intent. The comments made by @TheGoalNet hit a nerve. I did start by saying that I believe it was a poor selection of words. Perhaps I should have stopped at that.

I don't know what an LT90 is. I buy what I can afford and I go out and try to keep the biscuit out of the basket. (<---goalie jargon as this is a GOALIE FORUM)

Let me know which company got fleeced with my pillow (<--more goalie jargon) design. I don't want to be blind-sided out on the ice by some other gear connoisseur.

But remember...They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

This is an LT90. 

You arent being blind sided. They’ve done some flat out copies like this one and it’s definitely a topic of discussion. Every company has done it to some extent, but Simmons seems to do it a lot for whatever reason, whether it was a poor choice of words by @TheGoalNet he’s right on saying that they’ve copied other designs, and that doesn’t shed a bright light on people for obvious reasons.

Kids go to school without a proper breakfast and we are concerned with this?

I certainly hope your ethics and integrity carry over to the arts and entertainment industry and you have also never illegally downloaded music, movies, and the like.

This is a GOALIE FORUM.

No offense but it’s not like we come here to talk about our everyday problems, yes it does suck that people don’t have the same but that has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

I’m sure most people can agree this isn’t against them as people. When you blatantly take a mask painters design and copy it, make gear graphics, like this, that obviously look like others. Don’t tell me this doesn’t look like the LT90 graphic.

whether it’s out of inspiration or giving the customer what they wanted, it’s still to some point wrong.

Again, this is a goalie forum and don’t use the comparison of a completely different and more personal issue, it’s not like we are completely degrading these people. Thanks.

Price should go back to Vaughn and wear this graphic.

Doubt he’ll switch from CCM lol. I love Vaughn but they haven’t been taking a lot of steps, especially with the sliding imo

Based on price, ridiculous wait times and Mike Vaughn's recent goofy comments I read in that online article,  I have been more then reluctant to proceed with my order......but the Ventus pad just speaks to me. So I put the order in. Shame I couldn't get the Velocity 8 Pro Carbon XP glove with a custom graphic so went with an Epic 8880. So I hope to have my stuff in before the next Olympics and have a good review.

That looks so sick, the colorways are fantastic. It’s not often you see Vaughn gear with custom graphics, can’t wait to see it when it comes in

Bro, I took one of my Koho 587 calf straps so my women’s senior Jill could fit, if anything you should be making fun of me.

So it turns out it’s actually called Honeycomb. When they order the pads last year Vaughn was running low on the material. I’m told they used it years ago on a set of gear for Kevin Weekes. Might be something you have to contact Vaughn directly for, if they can still get the material.

Thanks! Might consider it in my future orders.

I bought them off the shelf at Just Hockey source for sports in Toronto. I didn’t see it on Vaughn’s customizer  so I’m not sure what it’s called. Might be something to contact Vaughn directly for. Or I can shoot an email to the store if you’d like. 

I mean I could try emailing them except I have no idea what I’m talking about lol, so it might be easier for you to
