Anyone have a picture from his Soo Indian days? I remember seeing him in USA Hockey Magazine back in the day. He had Heaton Helite 5 gloves and I thought it was so cool.

Anyone tried to order something recently? any data points about how the virus is affecting wait times right now?

Clearly it’s just the notch where they put the cameras

Practically speaking, what exactly does “reinforced” entail compared to stock? How is it different, the T, or the spine of the T? Does this help with closure, durability, both?

Wow, it’s incredible. Wish this mask would make its way back to the NHL. You can see a lot of their influence in the Pros Choice style. Many questions for you. Why do you have so many masks? How many do you have? Do you have a favorite? Which one fits the best? Which one has the least ringing/best sound protection when you get hit? And importantly, what’s going to be next now that you have the Harrison locked down?!?

Really cool to see that a PC cage can be mounted on a 960/961. Always loved that tri-cat cage. Excited to see how this turns out for you. I have a similar mask, 961 3-stripes model, that i may refurb like you, but then turn into a showpiece model. Do you know if the PC cage would fit on the current model 960xpm? I have the M/L size and its got a few dents in it.

I was told 13 weeks for custom SLR2s right now

Pretty impressive on Warrior's part. Good to hear. @cwarnar @ZeroGravitas Were these full blown custom with multiple changes? or simpler, like color zones?

Wait times suck! The idea for this thread is to create a central repository of wait times for custom gear (any and all manufacturers welcome) and, in the process, give transparency to the prospective customer. My personal POV is that the wait times in our industry are just way too long on average. I hope this thread can bring awareness to this issue and also give back some knowledge and/or leverage to the customer. Please post whatever wait times you've been quoted for custom gear that you've ordered or discussed with your local retailer / sales rep., or with the mfg directly. Obviously, wait times change all the time based on demand for the product, time of year, whom the retailer is, level of pro orders, etc. For this reason, if you can remember it, please include the details of the time of year of your order! I'll kick it off with a couple (not so recent anymore) examples: True Skates - Spring 2018 order. Was told 6 weeks by the retailer, but that they'd been receiving them faster lately, in about 4 weeks. The 4 weeks turned out to be a good estimate. Protechsport Mask - Jan 2017 order. Michel is a bit notorious here, but at least he is up front about it! He quoted me 19 weeks before he could "start the process". In reality, it was 17 weeks before he started it, but by the time the mask was finished and ultimately shipped/delivered to me, it was closer to 25 weeks all-in. The mask is great, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I can put myself through this again, haha.

In all seriousness it is just a preference thing. it's really just the outside calf wrap that looks odd to me. When it's all black, it just looks too street hockey for me. I don't mind the black for the inside base color, up and down the leg channel like the Lefevre designs, just not on the outside calf/knee wraps. I noticed a lot of the pros have a white base for some reason (maybe it's just bc a lot of them use the 1x strapping), and it got me thinking why its not available on the Bauer website customizer. If anyone knows the answer, let me know!

Haha. It's true, coop, ever since i quit SVU, i haven't needed my blacklight. Since this point, i've been able to enjoy non-solid-color gear without being utterly disgusted by stains. It's been great.

Anyone know if it is possible as a retail customer to get the 2s with a white leg channel and white knee/calf wrap?

Haha, what is that! That thing can't seriously be for hockey right? Maybe ball hockey? The clear chin window cracks me up. Massive dead spot in the forehead. Ears exposed, gargantuan backplate gap, ahhhh, i just can't. Someone put a lot of time into this project! Also, why brians? Just so many questions...

Does Vaughn still offer the Tri-Web? Would you get it again?

It went back to Michel. Could have been resold by now. No idea. Love the cheater. Nice choice.
