I like that idea...nice find! I think I'll do the same. Did you get the .75" or the 1" size?

Ditto! I have her PAW Knee Pads (best I have ever worn) and she has re-gloved a blocker of mine too...awesome work all around and soooo easy to work with

Not 100% what you're asking, but I had SZ2 glove and just moved to Gnetik IV and they are night and day! This is hands down the best glove I have ever used...pucks are gobbled up and never come out. Perfectly broken in right outta the box and even when I crank the BOA down, it's still performs the same way.

Do the Passau, Brown or other custom units come with better rib protection as standard? Been looking at the Passau as my next 'big' purchase but only if it's truly better protection than my SZ3

Not a bad idea...I might steal your idea for tonight's game...

Yep this is exactly that happens to my SZ3...mainly on the left side. I just cranked down the elastic straps a bit more to see it works in tomorrow's outing.

I'll apologize up front if this has been covered by anyone else, but I have been scrubbing this site and the web and I haven't found any posts. Anyway, I am wearing a pre-owned Subzero 3 C/A that has been really great (compared to my old Simmons 997 that I put through the ringer) BUT it has one downfall, bad rib protection. It has rib padding that are pulled snug to my torso (via the straps attached to the back plate) and protect my ribs in most cases, but in scrambles, those "flaps" tend to fold under and get stuck behind my belly protection. In a scramble I'm contorting my torso to get the flap to go back into it's proper place, but I'm exposed. I have resorted to wearing a snug fitting padded rib shirt until I can figure this out. Any suggestions or mods that would keep those rib flaps in the right place? I thought about adding velcro to the strap and flap to connect them together but not sure if that would help. Open to ideas. Not looking to buy a new unit since I love the protection I am getting elsewhere and the mobility so hoping some Goalie Wizards here can help. Thx!!

Having the same issue with the chest buckle. It connects but then pops open immediately. I just quit using it. Used the bag for a road trip hockey tourney this past week and it was AWESOME...so easy to carry to/from the locker room.

Sorry...just haven't had time to knock out pics or vids...been traveling a lot for work.

Just got the beast in the mail...man o man this thing is AWESOME! Already packed & unpacked it 3 times to figure out what works best for my gear. 35+2 Gnetik IVs, SZ 2 Chest (Large), Vaughn Pants (Large), Glove, Block, Clothes Bag, Bottles and extra stuff (laces, tape, tools, etc.). So far, all of it fits with a bit to spare. Also fits perfectly in the hatch of our Honda CR-V. All loaded up this bag feels great on the back and I look fwd to using it next week. No more lugging a carry bag on one shoulder, leg pads draped over the other and two sticks and trying to walk through small doorways into the rink and locker rooms! LOL

Awwww man...mine new one should be here tomorrow via UPS. I wish i would have held out a bit longer and I would have bought yours! LOL I'm sure you'll find a good home for it.

I was lucky enough to get one of the ‘express’ order slots and I had them in 8 weeks, almost to the day. Longest 8 weeks ever! LOL

Just saw your post. I appreciate it but already pulled the trigger on a 2.0 over the weekend. Thx!

Just had them a week now and lovin' them! Gnetik IV in Black and Sport Gold Weave. Mask with the sport gold stitches to finish it off. Still planning on going with a black cage to round out the black out.

Pads were delivered today and about to try them for the first time! Shout out to @Rance at the GoalieCrease for all his help and amazing customer service!!
