True Girdle

[True Girdle]

A bit of advice about the True girdle. I'm only about 5'6 and the girdle is too long. I wear CCM Super Tacks pants with suspenders as I have a bit of extra padding and don't like tight pants. I tried on a Medium sized True girdle with CCM Super Tacks shin guards. While the Medium size fitted my 36 inch waist just fine, the thigh pad extended so low that it affects the shin guards. Pity as, other than the fact it doesn't opn up like the Bauer 2S Pro, it's a decent bit of kit.

My advice is you'd need to be 5'10 or taller for the True girdle to be a comfortable fit.

What's it like for padding on the bum?

[Adapting a Bauer 2S girdle for suspenders]

Hi, I just got a 2S Pro girdle and while I like it, I miss the feeling of having suspenders like on my old CCM pants. Has anyone had a go at adapting either a girdle or the shell to allow suspenders?

[NHL goal frames]

Hi, just wondering if any of you can tell me if there is a single manufacturer for the NHL goal frames or do the teams or arenas buy NHL spec goals from whichever manufacturer they want?

Perhaps I wasn't the only person who ordered a pair of MX3 skates with a 1X tongue. Never was a fan of the default tongue and now Bauer have rectified what I saw as a problem. 

[Your current equipment]

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.

[Marsblade roller chassis]

Hi from downunder. My local skate shop said the Marsblades can't be attached to Bauer One.6 skates. They said the boot is not wide enough. They suggest any boot with a composite shell. Might have to get the chassis put on my APXs.
