Helmet: Bauer 5000 Cage: HM3000 Gloves: KOHO Profeel 130 14" Pants/Girdle: Easton Synergy 700 Elbow pads: Louisville TPS 1200 Shoulder pads: KOHO Gold Shin pads: Bauer Air Flak 14" Jock: ITECH Skates: Mission Fuel Wicked Sticks: Bauer 3030 I just started to play hockey and going to stick and puck, I think most of these will hold me over for the first few month but I want to upgrade some of my stuff, what would you guys recommend me upgrading first? I think my elbow pads are pretty crappy, as are my gloves. My shinguards feel really good however. I was looking at pro stock Mission M-1 gloves and L7 pures. Any ideas about those? And how bad are my skates? I got them pretty cheap but they feel pretty good and I haven't had any problems with them yet after 40+ hours on them.
