If I had to make a switch, it would probably be Brians. It's too bad I think their blockers aren't great though.

I think I'm less picky about leg pads as I am gloves though. Though I assume many of us are?

Absolutely right, I actually should have done the Heritage Blocker with my IV set.  Pre retirement I was actually going to go FrankenSet...

Bauer Blocker

Brian's Glove

Warrior pads

Hard to beat Warrior.  I will say, of all the gloves, out there the Brian's Gnetik would be easy enough to transition to

Anybody want some CCM P2.9 gloves? Only used for half a skate.

Hate them that much?

Do you know if Brian’s will/ can embroider team logos? 

They'll do almost anything... Upcharges are based on their labor to do the work

You stated that you don’t use a boot strap so it pulls the pads up higher, would you still be landing on the stack if you did use the boot strap? 

Yup.  I use to wear the ARS Boot when I first got them.  But boot straps are useless nowadays

This look roughly like your FTK?  I would say I’m between 19.5 and 19.75 

Yup.  I was a 19.5" on the nose.  I was told the newer Warrior series (GT2/G5) may play taller with the hypercomp.  A few guys I talked with went 1" shorter on the GT2 from the GT1.  There is also a chart that shows the where the size difference is on Warrior pads.  I know the knee stack only moves 1/2" from the 33 to the 34.  @Kirk3190 can speak to this as well.  

I was in a 33+1.5 but was going to move to a 32+2 is I decided to order a new set.

Where are you landing On the kneestack? You recommended that I go with 33 too and my ftk measurement is roughly 19.5/75. I only ask because retailer suggested I go with 34 but like you mentioned I want to be mobile and not clumsy. Did your boot break in and cause the pads to settle a little? 

Im worried about ordering a set and having the sizing being off and be stuck with a set of $1500 pads that are to big or small. 

I was in the top 2/3, but I wore no boot strap so the pad would ride up and sit higher.  I didn't have any issues with settling of the pads for 1.5 years I had them.  I think too many guys are oversizing pads.  I was going to move into a 32" pad if I went back to Warrior for increase mobility.  No way would I want a 34.

Rest in peace old truck. Despite the lack of vehicles in the road, I managed to get smoked from behind on the highway. Lady hit me going 60-70k while I was almost stopped. 

Glad you're okay?  She get charged up?  You doing some COVID car shopping?

The retro set that almost was...

Hows the new airslide design look? Durability issuses are the only thing holding me back on these. 

The knee wing is back to bindingless.  Should be zero durability issues now.

It was one of two set made for Max Paddock of the Regina Pat's of the WHL. I got the dark set and white set was sold to some else. I also picked up a second  glove with it too. Am a Canadian war history buff and seeing that set really put the wheels in motion to get it. Am also going go look at getting a Pat's jersey also.

Big gear switch for him... Longtime Vaughn guy that moved into Bauer after a subpar season last year.

If you need a jersey let me know.  I'm local!

Very interesting cutout... Opposite 2S

yeah I was unclear whether this is separate from or replacing the R/V1 line

2nd stick line. My money is on being more in line with the Eflex 4, in terms of flex and feel.  Lots say the V1 line is very stiff

Official thread for the new Warrior twig... and the big question for @Kirk3190is how this is going to differ from the V1 line

I just can't get used to the robot arms. They seemed so clonky on the original Ritual when I first saw one in person. On another note, didn't know Pogge was playing across the pond.

I think a lot of goalies are in the same boat.  I much preferred the traditional arms on the GT Pro.  I know there was some issues with the robot arms breaking in the first gen models

Back to the classic grey color... or Custom?

Tried Brian's Smart Cords for a few skates... They're okay.  But finally swapped them out for my Pro Laces Armor.  They really are the tops for toe straps...

Good question - I'd be curious to know too. Also, I presume g5 will get the "classic" graphic too right?

Yes, it just won't be available at launch from what I've seen

I know that @seagoal @Imperative @Kayen and I tossed around a NW camp idea.  I think it would be awesome to faces to names and get out for a weekend of fun and sore muscles

#Notestingneeded... Because they don't innovate

@Kirk3190 scooped all of us... What's your source???  LOL

YEAH I KNOW -- just was talking about how their product has been the best mask solution for me and hoping someone would be able to make their own. Definitely DO NOT WORK with Monster.

I know Monster Hockey is no more and they were quite the mess....but their Medusa Strap was awesome! I have it on both of my masks and they are amazing. Just shock cord with some simple aluminum anchors so I'm sure you could make some yourselves.

I've been looking for the hardware online but so far no luck. Love them because they never lose their stretch like traditional straps.

DO NOT ORDER FROM MONSTER... THEY'VE DECLARED BANKRUPTCY AND ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FRAUD
