I don't know if it's expensive or cheap That's pretty cheap, those blades seem to be hard to find now. I bought three pairs of one piece Trues from a pro goalie and they came with 10 sets of those blades. The part I like is they are 4mm not 3mm blades. Good score !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my preference as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently in a passau pro pack and it feels just so bulky but its super protective. only experience ive had is a simmons 995 and a passau. I tried on a vaughn a while ago and it felt so nice and mobile but have read protection issues with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arms are so easy to move in, that the only unit I've owned that has been more mobile was my RGT Pro. Protection wasn't as good as my RX3 Pro, but, it's only slightly less and the added mobility (plus comfort) made abandoning my Warrior unit very easy to do. Units Owned: - Itech Reflex 5 - Vaughn V5 7800 - Vaughn LT90 - Warrior RGT Pro (used the longest) - Bauer 2S - Bauer Hyperlite - Warrior RX3 Pro - Bauer Mach.

I couldn’t reach my forehead to swipe of sweat It was fine. I liked the body but wasn't a fan of the arms. I was also using a Medium and probably should've been in a small. I didn't use it much more than over a summer season and replaced it with a Medium Hyperlite instead which stuck around for a few years. Yea, arm movement felt clunky in my 2S. I eventually loosened the arm straps to their loosest setting and it made it more bearable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of it has to do with overall fit, but even so, I do prefer just about everything on the Supreme line over the Vapour line. Arms are more protective and feel more square without feeling alien (like Warrior). The body shape of the C/A is also something I find more comfortable. Hyperlite was fine, but there were two gripes with it: 1. The softer more enveloping portion of the side protection came too high into my armpits. It took a month and eventually wasn't a problem, but even broken in it was "still there". Mach/2S doesn't have this problem and it feels more comfortable (though armpit shots can sometimes miss padding if I suck). 2. The center belly portion was segmented into three sections. I took more than a few belly shots that hurt because it found the gap in between and I never truly felt like it was going to protect me. Supreme units are all one piece that goes across and has better belly protection anyways. In saying that, Hyperlite and Mach have both been right up there as some of my favourite C/A's. So it's mostly coming down to minor preferences over anything massive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it's cooler than others with the back of the neck open I got one and I'm having no issues, I don't wear it that tight and I don't even notice it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Hyperlite Chesty for a couple of months and those segmentations kept getting caught in my pants in addition to being too soft in the belly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperton Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 My PX3 set came in just over a week ago, I've since played two games in them. Specs: -Pads are 31"+2" (probably could have done +2.5" or even +3"), single break core, thin extra stiff thigh, long rebound, no break outer roll, single nylon knee, no boot strap, cushioned knee padding -Blocker is a 595 (supposed to be 615), half cuff, straight finger, medium palm -Glove is a 600, double T, game ready extra, intermediate palm (though I can't actually tell, but doesn't feel bad) There was supposed to be a black spear in the graphic too, but it did end up looking nice/clean. The compared with G3Netik and GNetikV are 32"+2" and 31"+1.5", respectively. The True pad is about 0.3 pounds lighter than the GNetikV. The glove is pretty stiff compared to my Brian's gloves, which I suppose is to be expected. It's the biggest adjustment thus far and I'm still breaking it in. The pads and blocker feel great, the pads give off rather hard rebounds (comparatively) and slide just as well since the landing area is so much more rigid than what I am used to. They also actually sit up on my skate instead of sloughing off like my GNetikVs do (The 3s don't slide down, the 5s do pretty bad, frankly I think the GNetik/Iconik calf strapping is pretty bad since it does very little, too minimal). I've only played two games in 'em, but haven't been scored on yet, so that's a good start. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Grabbed up two pairs of these. Really excited try these out tomorrow. I usually wear the mcdavid hex sleeves under my knee pads and the positioning of the ones in these are interesting. I’ll be curious to see if the padding is in the right spot so my knee pads don’t bruise my knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coward, show them toes. I think the lack of a black spear in the middle is a happy little accident in my book. Set looks great as is. Though that mixup and the blocker mixup sucks. I'm guessing you're not too chaffed about the wrong blocker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
