Your current equipment

[bulletproof_funk 0]

Helmet: Jofa 690 - rounder fit fits my rounder head like no other, plastic shell a little thin compared to other companies

Face: Jofa 480 Chrome - lightweight, good visibility, except the one bar that's right in my line of sight (have to flip the hinge clips upside down)

Mouthguard: Shock Doctor - does the trick, hard to talk

Shoulder: Bauer 3000 - decent (maybe overkill) protection for pickup, maybe a tad bulkier than what I really need but no biggie, velcro straps tend to stick to jersey

Elbow: Jofa 3505 - lasts a long time, great fit, soft elbow caps are nice, velcro straps tends to stick to jersey

Gloves: Mission Warp Zeros - fits snug, hand opens easy, no break-in time, index finger never gets in the way, needs ventilation, stinks up real bad real fast

Pants: CCM Supra (circa 2001) - cheap and light weight, tail bone plastic shifts/rotates inside the padded material, buttons rusted

Jock: Itech Lycra - I like the compression short and velcro convenience, cup could cover more

Shins: Itech (forget model) - removable liner is nice, not wide or bulky, lower strap could be placed slightly higher up

Skates: Graf 609 - fits my lower foot exceptionally well, nothing else compares so far, a bit big around my ankles (see my review)

Shaft: Easton Synthesis 85 - I like the lower connection point of tapered shafts, flex is pefect for me, lacking in feel compared to other shafts (see my review)

Blade: Easton Synthesis Composite - lasts long for me (5 mo.), light weight, good performance, Drury pattern hard to find

[RadioGaGa 162]

Helmet: White Bauer HH4000 Helmet w/ Leader Visor

Skates: CCM Tacks 600

Shin: Jofa SG 2500

Elbow: CCM 552 (just got them haven't played with them yet)

Shoulder: Old Koho Profeel

Gloves: Mission Warp Sub Zeros (the 3 finger Left Handed Shooter ones)

Pants: CCM 652

Sticks: A couple cheap Easton shafts, with Shanny Blades

Misc: Itech Sport Jock, UA Shirt and Skully

Montreal logos on the helmet, pants are Royal Blue and the Gloves are, you guessed it, R/W/B.

Likes & Dislikes...I don't have any complaints about any of my gear. I've already replaced the stuff I didn't like (pretty much everything) I guess I'd like better Shoulder pads (the only thing I havnet' replaced), but I'm playing Non Contact hockey, so no real worries. I wish I could afford better sticks though.

[Shorthanded67 0]

Helmet: CCM652 (formerly HT2)- Just a classic slightly updated.

Visor: Oakley Modified Aviator- Clearest vision, no fogging.

Elbow pads: Jofa 9066 - Used the xx66 lineup for a while. Good protection, 4 straps = no slippage even on my skinny arms.

Gloves: TPS HGT Customs- no break-in needed, Easton SyNergy-finally grew on me

Girdle: CCM Tacks- Nowhere near as good as the old Cooper MBP8000, but it'll do. Kind of bulky too.

Pants: Mission D-1- Good ventilation, great durability with one small quarter-sized hole on the inner leg mesh after a year

Shin pads: Jofa 9090 - Not bulky for me, lightweight, dries quickly, uber-protective

Skates: CCM 1152 Tacks (modified for inline hockey). Will switch to the old school 652s next. The composite outsole started chipping away at the toe within a few games. Other than that problem, they'e held up great.

Underwear: UnderArmour Loose Fit short and long sleeve.

Sticks: Whatever allows me to put the puck in the net today. Most recent menu inlcudes Mission L-2 shaft/blade (Hull), Inno Novius shaft/Easton Z-Carb (Shanny), Easton Synthesis Grip/comp blade (Shanny)

[Dave 1]

Helmet: Bauer 5000 white - good helmet, looks bulky though. I'll get a black Carbster anytime soon.

Cage: Jofa chrome cage - second to none in terms of weight and space-between-bars

Shoulder: Bauer 5000 - VERY protective but I am looking for something less bulky and less movement-restricting so I'll get V12s

Elbow: Nike V-Force (THG SMUs), unbelievable light weight and comfort, especially after Jay's modding-tutorial.

Gloves: TPS Response Plus custom (14", longer fingers, black cable-knit) - those gloves rock, great mobility and the Digitech palm really gives a good grip on all sticks; on the heavy side though.

Pants: Mission M-1 - well, good pant for the price, I like the protection (especially the back protector) and the inner liner; I dislike the poor workmanship, the badly constructed velcros that close the zippers (I cut off the velcros that really got in the way during each stride and stiched up the zippers so they do not open up, I don't use the zippers anyway); the amount of protection goes hand in hand with too much weight for my liking, I also prefer less bulky pants.

Shins: Bauer 5000 - they get the job done, but they are bulky. I'll get V12s.

Skates: Graf 705 teclites with factory-installed t'blades - Great comfort, fit is very good though the boot is too "roomy" for my flat arch. Might look for something with more ankle support.

Sticks: Bauer TriFlex Gold (2x P106, 1x P88) - great stick, especially for the closeout price of 240 USD for 3; A XN10 stiff Tucker is on its way to my house, I'll see if it really is that good.

[kasparaitis 0]

Helmet : Itech HC85(now retired due to puck hitting side of head) - Bauer 4000 - fits great, although a bit more padding would make it more comfortable.

TPS Response Plus REG flex / Morrow pattern - 2nd best stick, and use this the most.

[WingsVK97 0]

Helmet: CCM HT-500 w/ Bauer 3000 Cage. Odd mix but the fit is spot on.

Sholder pads: Jofa 6700. Good times with these.

Elbow Pads: Mission M-1's. Just got 'em and they seem up to snuff.

Pants: Sherwood 9950's. These are tanks! Uber-protective...but heavy.

Shins: Itech 955. Good protection and they have a little plate that covers your laces so you can block shots with the best of them without getting tagged.

Gloves: Older Easton UL's w/ Easton Slash guards.

Skates: Nike Quest 2's

Sticks: Easton Typhoon w/ Sundin Curve

Not the lightest stuff, but I can get up everytime.

[hehatemefrisbee 0]

Since im a primarily inline player, I'll do an inline list.

Helmet: Bauer 5000 SE w/ Itech straigt small tinted visor (havent used it yet)

Elbow Pads: Sherwood 950 classics (awsome pads, fit right, and protect better, i like the older style elbow pads)

Shin Pads: Mission Matrix(I love these pads, they have a shin sleeve and two straps, exaqctly what i want in a pad.)

Inline pants: S7ven 950 pants. (The best they make, i like them better than my m-1s.)

Gloves: Custom Sande 720's (Best gloves i have ever had, i love them)

Skates: V12 boot, with red star chassis, factory Halo wheels. (A $900 skate that i paid $200 for. Not only do i love the price, the boot feels like a slipper.)

Sticks: Inno Tru-1, Inno 1100, Inno Commander w/ inno blade, Vector shaft, XN10, Response + shaft, Response shaft, T-Flex, Easton z-carbon woodie, Ballistikl shaft.

Out of those, I only use the Tru-1 and the Commander. The others are ok, and all the dhafts have various wood or carbon blades.

[Karly14 21]

helmet: bauer 4000-comfortable and by far the best looking helmet

visor/cage:oakley small pro one/black itech medium(the old one that doesnt stick out huge at the top of it. theyre both good.

shoulder pads: old orange and black bauer 3000, or my tiny coopers-coopers rule

elbow pads: old vic on my top arm, easton air on my bottom one-good combo

gloves: eagle x 90s design 5, but i cut off the wirst protector thing-gloves are good but i hate the black palm it makes the tape on my stick so friggin sticky, plus they get crusty

pants: easton air 4000 cut up the inside of the legs-i love them, they are the best pants ive ever worn even though theyre old

shin pads: Jofa something, theyre bryan smolinski pro stock shin pads, one of them has a black knee cap the other one has a white knee cap theyre 16 inch and pretty bulky even though im only 5'8(i like em big)-theyre awesome, every other shinpad i put on since i got these feels really hot and uncomfortable, the lining on the inside is unreeal.

skates: graf 704, had them for a long time-love em, comfortable but not the lightest, getting some xx's to try

sticks: Eastin grip 100 with a sakic z carbon, easton bubble grip inno mogilny blade 85-used a bubble 85 for about 3 years thinking it was the only stick i could use, recently swtiched to an old 100 that was lying around my house and now my shots/ passes are way crisper ( pro afinogenov syn grip in the mail for me)

[Eazy_b97 1]

Helmet: Bauer 4000 thinking of switching back to my 5000

Visor: Itech, Pro cut, not sure of the model, but it's not great. Fogs up alot

Shoulder pads: D & R Shoulder pads had'em forever. Looking to get some smaller pads.

Elbow pads: Jofa 8025 - Just what I like

Gloves: Eagle X70, Love the fit feel and the palms are great

Pants: Quest 2 - Spine Protector can be a pain, but I love the actual pant

Shin pads: Winwell Ait Lites, they were in 17" and they were on sale while I was on my way to a tourney

Skates: Graf 609's W/ T'blades. Love the skates, but am going to put regular holders on because I am about to start my LHS job.

Stick: In Order from most to least favourite

Hull painted UL w/ Custom Curve 1 Axion - Would've prefered the Custom 3, but I like it

Tapered 85 M-1 - Drury T-flex - Great stick would prefer grip, but fantastic even after fix-up

Pro Roberts 1100 - waiting to be traded, like the stick, but am kind've trying out non OPS sticks

Lidstrom Synergy 100 flex - Need to shave the toe and should be good, The Lidstroms a little too much curve for me, but its still 2nd or 3rd on my list from Easton and or the other major OPS makers. I've been a little anti-Synergy since the '03s came out, I figure worst comes to worst I'll have a Synthesis again.

[LkptTiger 1]

Helmet: Bauer 5000 (blue). Bauer Tru-Vision cage. I'll be getting the 8000 combo in a matter of days.

Gloves: Bauer Vapor XX (blue). Nice, light and tight.

Pants: Graf 700 (blue). A bit heavy, but I find them mobile (padding seems slippery, which helps).

Shins: Easton Z-Airs. Not bad. I could probably use another inch on them, but I don't want to be restricted, so I'll stick with the 14".

Shoulder Pads: Bauer Vapor 10. Light and "high cut." Very unrestictive yet good protection in the shoulders/biceps.

Elbow Pads: Easton Z-Air. Don't like them. Cap is too big, restricts movement to straight arm position. Probably going to get another pair very soon.

Skates: Bauer Vapor XX. All of you guys here know how much I love the XXs. I don't think I have to say any more.

Sticks: Four retail Innovative True-1s. 300 Flex, Fedorov pattern. Incredible sticks. That's all I can say.
