    If the LHS is a store with lots of selection, I would make the 2hr drive, as I drive 1.5hrs to my LHS it is worth it in the long run.
    My #1 reason I suggest this is because pads dont always fit the way the sizing charts suggest. 
    It's a pain in the you know what, trying to deal with returning pads, only to try others, and return them too. (My friend did this instead of going with me)
    When you are getting your initial set up, you can try on all the sizes and models of pads and helmets and find what fits you best, and after that you can place orders online since you know your size/model.

    Everyone is built differently, and what fits one guy, might not fit you.
    Even the shape of your head will dictate what model of helmet you should get, and the wrong model of helmet can give you headaches.

    I went to my LHS when I was starting to play again after a 10 year absence, and I have a mixture of brand/model pads, but they all fit me and I'm very comfortable when playing. 
     

    This.  I have huge calves and almost got the CCM Super Tacks shin guards since they are the bulkier traditional fit.  I went to the store and they didn’t fit.  I tried the Bater S190 which had a different fit profile, anatomical. Those fit me beautifully.

    Wow, that was the old design when I was a kid!  Nice!  There some new BDP Pros I am tempted to grab right now, love the old stuff.

    I honestly don't know why whoever owns Cooper (Bauer?) or other glove manufacturers don't offer a black diamond type pattern for one of their gloves.

    It may not outsell basic black or team colors but it would do well with older players.  Don't need to come up with a new gloves, just a fabric pattern.

    Picked up the Tackla girdle to try. Gotta be the lightest girdle I’ve ever put on. I’ll get a more accurate weight ASAP. It has a tag saying “do not machine wash,” but I Removed the pads so I could wash it, because I’m a loner Dottie, a rebel  

    Did you get it used or new?

    PureHockey's cyber week sale ends at midnight, code NOVEMBER30.  Its a 30% off code which of course excludes most Bauer, CCM, and Warrior items.  I was able to grab their Sherwood BMP 120 gloves already discounted down to $89.99 for $67 (shipped and taxed) after a 10 dollar reward and 30% off code.  They still have some of them in 13+ sizes.  They also have a few of the shot blocker variant which are down to $109.99.

    Bought these on ebay to mess around in.  They appear minimally used.  I'll give them a soak and an air dry (unless my research on old leather reveals something else) at some point this weekend.

    Holy hell these leather gloves are going to require a lot of time if I ever want to break them in.

    Hey guys so I bought a Bauer IMS 9.0 helmet and it came without the plugs behind the ear to attach a facemask.  No big deal I bought an AR Helmet Repair kit.  I screwed the dome screws in but my Jofa cage clips would not lock in on them.  So I decided to try with the clips that the kit provides but there is no way I can force them to connect.  I've tried just between my hands and it with it attached to the helmet.  Am I doing something wrong?

    These are dome screws right?

    Here is me using all my strength to force them together.

    not pictured and for good reason is the new 4500 / 480 I bought because of the dreaded glue issues of a 7500 i wore 3x before a 3 year lay off.

    So is the 9080 bascially the same as the Classic Pro with a regular runner?
