I've been using my 8090 shin pads and Tron socks for about 7 ice times now. The shin pads are very comfortable and protective. I've taken several hard shots to the shins and haven't felt anything. I really like the socks as well. They fit tight but not too tight. I also ordered two of the jerseys, but ordered them too big. Hockey Tron exchanged them for a smaller size, no questions asked. I've been very happy with them so far. Anyone have any experience with the 405 or Elite sticks? I'm looking to pick a couple new sticks up soon. Eric
