How long you had Maltese? 

Less than a year... I've gone thru EVA, rubatex, poron and now Maltese. 

The Canadian site was always just a store front. All of the operations run out of Philly

Is there anything truly unique about the masks?

That I can't answer... I'm not sure if there is really anything unique about most of the masks built now.  I know each one is custom built for the customer with a ton of options.  His layup for materials are carbon fiber, Kevlar, and epoxy resin.  He has the customer spec chin length and how the mask is trimmed.  Mask padding and cage options as well.

Matthew Gibbons is his rep that deals mostly with customers

Ron Stefaniuk builds and paints them... Ron is a master-craftsman.  Was with Otny (As @bunnyman666 I believe he is still building shells for Otny) and now has is own prominent line of masks.  Offers a variety of shell shapes and tons of custom options, with a lifetime warranty.  Even does a combo... I dealt with Ron a bit during my Monster Days and he's a solid dude.

I think it's like Vasy and they are using modified suspenders to connect his back plate to his pants. 

I don't think there are full blown suspenders 

where did this pic come from? It's great 

LA Kings Twitter

Quick in Vaughn... interesting mod tho with the back and his suspenders 

Thanks boys... Anyone move the Reactor 6000's to the 1s or 190s?

Don't think it's been covered.... what are the differences between the 1S and 1X skates?

I'm currently in Reactor 6000's and potentially looking for a cowlingless replacement. Debating VH 2 piece vs Bauer

Hmm, I don't recall ever noticing a rounded vertical roll.  I'll have to go back and look at old pictures.

You can really notice it here

I always thought Passua pads looked weird, like the shape was weird or something? but I absolutely love those. Totally changed my opinion on them. 

The laundry bag is a nice touch too 

They did use to offer a rounded outside roll. Looked very bizarre. I have a triangular on my set but Tim McCarthy confirmed they now do a fully squared outer roll

SBR - Love your Vaughns, haven't seen many with the knee rolls matching the tribal accents.

And Passau twigs are money... Wish I would have upgraded to the composite shaft tho

I will say that the mask is amazing.  Love the paint job.  If you don't mind me asking who did your mask and how much was it? I've been looking to get mine painted sunset metallic orange with a black and white stripe running down the center.  Everyone I talked to wants $1500-$2200.

$1500-2200?  Holy crap... unless you have some super detailed or extravagant design, that's stupid expensive.

There's a ton of amazing painters out there... MaxFlo Industries, Resurrection Custom Painting, Detroit Air, WeaselHead Designs and MacMasks are great...
