Right now I've upgraded to: Shoulder, elbow and shins: Bauer MX3 - Really comfortable and light. The elbows are a bit of a pain when putting a jersey on. Shorts: Bauer APX2 - No complaints Skates: Bauer One.6. I have odd shaped feet so am waiting for custom MX3s to be make and sent. Helmet: Bauer Reakt. No complaints although I was a bit shocked at the Virginia Tech test results. Gloves: Reebok 11k. No complaints Stick: Bauer Vapor x600 intermediate. I'm only 5'6 so I'm not about to break it. Nice and whippy but I'm not really sold on the Griptac.
