Decided to play in the new chestie after flapping my arms around the house for about 45 minutes. Since I hadnt been on the ice since the beginning of August it seemed as good a time as any to take it out for a spin. Other than putting on my mask, no real issues with mobility that I felt. I took a few heavy shots in the arms and belly, felt the sense of an impact but nothing more than that.
Second game update:
Played another game in the Brown. This time I was facing off against a much faster team, and my team had 2 subs. The only stiffness is when I go to put on my mask, or jersey. This will likely go away as it breaks in more. I also feel like my downward vision is a little bit worse currently. Arms are perfectly mobile to me. I dont think the unit is that much hotter than my Battram overall.
Third game update:
I decided to take a hot shower while wearing the unit to break it in more inbetween game 2 and 3. Mostly working the shoulder floaters and arms. I definitely made sure to copy the movements of putting on a mask. This made a huge difference in my ability to get my mask on and off, and took away that new unit stiffness. Game 3 was a short bench so I saw a lot of pucks. I also noticed my gripe with downward vision lessened.
