@oncogene yeah you're gonna want to drop down to 25" if you want the same size as the old model. There's another whole thread around here about all the messed up paddle sizing between brands.

I did the same thing you did when I got my 1S, had to go back and exchange it

Yeah read and knew about that for between brands... just didn't expect same brand and (supposedly) same model line can still be so random in sizes. Gosh how hard is it to have the same real size with same size label. All these "technologies" about new goalie gears, and they can't even do a simple measurement 

Just got the 2S Pro stick. Did not use it yet. Think the labelled sizes being so different among manufacturers is annoying? How about difference for even the same brand and sort of same model line...

My old Bauer Supreme NXG at 26-1/2", vs Supreme 2S Pro at 26".... will they be the same paddle length? Of course not!.... The 26" is like a whole inch longer! 

Duno... do I just happen to get an odd one or should I go with 25" 2S Pro instead? Will the 25" be like 3" shorter than 26", eh?

Are the “gear wars” upon us?

That's a bit lame TBH...

Got to check out a pair in person yesterday. Veeeery nice skates. Very intrigued in the cowling as well - might get a set to mount onto my RBK 16k boots to be honest (and burn my vapor x900's in a fire)

Whats wrong with x900? Bad Bauer fit?

Is there any email sub for future camp or  training session for this? Looks interesting...

Y'all need to get on the Warrior/Brian's bandwagon.

What's a break in period?

Yes. Before Warriors, I had some old-spec beaten-up used Brian (DX2?), TPS smth, Itech/Bauer RX9. Went to Warrior Ritual (just the glove), then R2 full set and now R3 full set. Don't need to know about break-in period with the gloves at all. Gloves just close when the puck hits.

Forgive me, but I can't ignore the irony of a picture in a "breaking in my gloves" thread having the "GAME READY" tag so conspicuously displayed 

Sorry - as you were , gentlemen...

It's "Game Ready" if you play Lundqvist blocking style or something.

This season i got a full custom G3 set, warrior goal jock and GT sr chest. Also 1X goal skates. Also got (2015?) Vapor X900 player skates on clearance and Warrior player QR1 (?) gloves. Big spending season hah

So last night I was glancing at some saved pics of gear and as I looked at the GT pads, I had a "hmmm" moment.

So the calf wrap/channel is composed of a large velcro system. Unlike Pete's original gear and many other brands out there, I wondered - if at one point in the life of the pads, the velcro get frayed to a point where both part don't adhere to each other as well (even though there's a buckle present), does the user have to send the pads in for a full replacement which I presume wouldn't be cheap? Would a removable two ended velcro strapping system be more convenient?

The "hook" part will not be an issue for sure. I have G2 for 4 years for 2 games/weeks all year round. The soft "loop" part of velcro is still very much intact. Whatever Warrior uses does seem very durable.

Same here with sell what I don't need and old. Really have no point in keeping the old stuffs. Need the space... to buy more new toys!

Biggest obstacles to sell the old stuffs to me are having to deal with annoying people from Kijiji, and having to somewhat clear/recondition the items before selling, I just feel bad with the items all ugly and smelly.

Still have an old Bauer RX9 pads and catcher sitting in the closest... really need to get rid of them.

Another question for the Warrior expects, @Kirk3190, and other here. Since I may be fitting in the small(est) Sr pad size range, wonder what are the differences between Sr and Int pads? I think Sr/Pro is 10.5" (for warrior anyway), and Int is 10"? Is the material for Int pads less durable or cheaper?

Gents!  I'm looking at finally updating my skates... Looking at the 1X vs X900, anyone dig into the differences between the 2?   Is the extra $300 cdn schmeckles worth it or would one be better using that cash towards some tydan blades.  

Sorry if this has already been discussed...

Not much differences really. The steel (model number anyway), and may be the tongue/padding (if at all). I DID get the 1X, but only because I got a decent discount (being brand new) knowing someone... but then I could probably get the same % off for X900 too, oh well.

If paying full retail I'd definitely go with X900.

Got to play tonight at the old coliseum again before they demolish it. Pretty cool to play store a rink that was still an nhl rink as of 2 years ago.  Not the best photos but meh.  

Are those G3, from TGC? Got any more pics? Well perhaps doesn't matter, they're out of my size+color anyway. Nice looking pads for sure!

Quick question... with G3 Warrior custom pad option with no break, do the pads come out of the box (before we try to bend them) significantly more straight compare to the standard 1-break pads?

Also is "no-break" option just no break on the external vertical-roll, or will there also be no break internally? Say on G2 pro with single-break I have, there's a break on the vertical-roll, and a break behind internally.
