I mean they are older but the crazy light shoulders are unreal. Prob close to 8 years old now, they don’t absorb water and they seem plenty protective. I went form 11k to these. WOW like wearing nothing. Im not sure much about the FT1 which is the continuation of the line. elbows prob vapour or any of the Jetspeed stuff. Or older crazy light. Again, super light stuff. pants have been mentioned. The pro stock ones are great. Also girdles are a lighter more form fitting option. Personal preference there. shins any of the “sleek” lines like the jetspeed and vapour. Ones that have less thick of a liner and sit closer to your leg. I wear 7k pro with no liner because they stick out too far with it. I like the sleek look too. I understand. I feel with the sleek gear it’s plenty protective. Let’s be real, the pros often wear it so it has to be fine. I just never get light weight elbows as I broke mine but for everything else thinner and sleeker the better.

A lot of people seem to like the STX RX3 line for light and form fitting. I have shoulders, shins, and elbows in the 3.1 models and like all of them. I haven’t weighed them, but they don’t feel bulky. Elbow have a three piece design and shoulders have multiple pieces attached to be flexible, and I feel like both of them sit close to my body and articulate with my movements. Shins and elbows have great wrap, and fit well on my skinny limbs.

I second the UCLP pants. I wear CCM quick lite (or crazy lite, I always forget which one) shoulders from 5-6 years ago. Low profile, moisture wicking, and comfortable as hell

As for pants, try out CCM pro stock pants that are HPUCLP or HPUCLX. They are lightweight and protective. www.prostockhockey.com

Sticks: Easton Ultralite, I started playing right when there was the mix of wood, aluminum and graphite and the Ultralite just seemed miles better than everything I had tried to that point. Runner up would be the Bauer Supreme Total One. After taking a long break from hockey and getting back into gear it was the first high end one piece I used, having tried a few midrange sticks and this just seemed like a huge leap. Honestly in the 10 or so years since then I can’t say the tech has advanced that much more aside from shedding weight and I’ve tried a ton of sticks from the major manufacturers in that time. Skates: Gotta go with the True customs as well. Best mix of more recent tech but the customized sizing that I need. Gloves: Easton GX4000. I had the GX9500 and my god were they heavy and hot as hell. These were so much lighter and easier to wear for longer periods.
