Is the boot angle going to be more that of a true pad?

Custom set just came in yesterday, order put in with True on April 4 estimated 6-8 weeks, shipped out on May 5 ahead of schedule.

 

32+2 single internal break no external break

Pro - Xtra palm

What pads are you in currently and what size?

Just got an email that my True pads just got in way before the estimated date!

That is a pretty shitty response from your retailer IMO, who did you order through?

If it helps, my 32+2.5 20.1s lined up pretty much 1 for 1 in all the key areas compared to @ZeroGravitas's size Small Hyperlites

20.2 shrunk the boot by about half an inch though so this may complicate things

Bang on

Thanks for the response, glad to hear the two are very similar, and I ordered 1” less than that on the thigh rise so hopefully it will be fitting just like I want it.

You're gonna have to get your retailer to earn their markup on this question

I believe that picture is a 20.1 next to a 2x

Response from retailer:

“I cannot confirm sizing. That is your call solely and we are not responsible for any issue with sizing once placed”

Ok so I measured my Senior small HyperLite, the knee to top is 11”, I am ordering 32+1.5” L87. However I’m looking to down size in the thigh rise a bit as my pads often hit each other. I’m confused though because I saw this picture on here of a Bauer thigh rise vs 1.5 true. Will a 1.5” true thigh rose be smaller than Bauer?

So would soft foam be more like what is on the Vaughn V9 pads?

Hello all, looking for some help in understanding all the different options. I am a little confused with all the different choice of the "knee zone" 1. What are the differences/benefits to "recessed" vs "soft foam" 2. I am looking just for standard velcro behind the knee like the photo I attached below, what option would that be?

Got one of the April production slots from Goalie Monkey, just submitted my configuration today.  Can't wait let's hope it really is 6-8 weeks.

I just got one from Goalies Plus, excited for it! Hopefully the wait times are accurate

This is what I got from the store I asked.

"The True L12.2 in that 32+1 size will sit about an inch shorter in the thigh rise and a half-inch shorter at the knee than your Hyperlite Smalls.  The True 33 matches up as close as you could find to that Hyperlite 33 so unless you're looking to size down and gain a bit of mobility, I'd go for a True 33+1."

From what I’ve heard true’s updated size chart is spot on. In your situation however your specs would decide 31 or 32

It would be completely stock as I found a pair online that's stock. I don't wear a bootstrap with my hyperlites, so maybe if I wore the bootstrap on L12.2's it would ensure they don't sit too high in the knee?

@Peter36

Of course I'm pretty much in between sizes lol. I'm just worried cause Bauers run small that Bauer's 33" won't be the same size as True's 32" in the knee

If I'm in a senior small bauer pad, would a 32" L12.2 work? My FTK is a bit over 18.5

Does anyone know when we will start seeing SLR3 Pro and pro carbon available for purchase?

It says the smallest is 32. 31 is an intermediate size so you’ll have to see if they end up releasing an intermediate line.

Yeah I noticed that, however on the customizer you can actually order 31". Unfortunately looks like they won't offer that as a stock option.

Does anyone know if 31" will be available for stock pads? I'm in a bauer senior small pad, but worried a 32" in True won't work considering how small Bauers run and how large trues run.

Does anyone know if the prices are going to be lower than their current custom prices?

So am I!

Where did you get the catalog from?

Supposedly retail stock gear will be manufactured in Asia and in stores by April/May

That’s good news, any info on sizes and colors? Hopefully the quality is good.

Does anyone know if True will have stock L12.2 gear anytime soon?

Does anyone on here know what the wait time is currently for custom true skates?

Why can I barely find any SLR3 pads online?

Have any small/short goalies tried PAW kneepads? Did you order intermediate or senior? I'm 5'3" and about 130lbs if that helps.

Thanks!

I'm roughly 5'7" and when I bought mine Sara told me that the intermediates were built for people under 5'4".

these beauties just came in today

What's the wait time like?

Release the Kraken!

Picked up a 2S Pro from sidelineswap today.

Has an interesting mod, the blade is painted white.

Any ideas as to how this model is useful? My guess would be it has something to help the previous owner (NCAA goalie) with tracking the puck.
