Coldclay, thank you for such detailed post. I am aware now of x1 material issue. Not sure if lite is much better. I was impressed by weight in junior size.
He has junior Tacks shoulders now in L and it's way too small now.
Novotnoa, thank you, I will look into Nexus line and esp 8000.
Goalieman39, Tacks is a good choice. Definitely.
Nicolas, we are north of you. In Vancouver.
Regarding store, I have 15% off everything at 3 local stores, Source, Larry and Taylor.
His measurements are height 5.7, weight 140lbs, shoe size 9.
And he is significantly growing.
He is not interested in new gear, he loves the game, so due to this we go to buy new gear when he is out of old one completely.
His equipment size is Junior Large, shins 12, gloves 12( palm is 20cm long). And pants XL Junior.
Before tryouts we had equipment check and he got a list of things to change, mostly everything, except gloves and helmet. Shin elbow shoulders are way too small, I didn't know that cause I didn't see him in gear without jersey and socks for years )
Gloves are ripping off in finger area. Supertacks.
Helmet is old.we can't find a replacement. Bauer doesn't fit. Most others are not in his team color which is gold.
